Hey lovelies! Today I have neons from American Apparel to share with you. I love neons, and I don't see it much on nails around here, it's either neon pink, or neon orange, never the others. So when I saw these I had to buy them (although I am not a huge fan of American Apparel) Neons are perfect for the summer. Even though summer is coming to a close end, it doesn't hurt to see these neons :)
Neon Yellow is well, a neon yellow creme. lol This was done in 3 coats. It looks like a typical yellow hi-liter, so this is very bright and burns your eyes if you stare at it for too long. The picture is shown with no top coat. Neons tend to dry with a matte finish.
Neon Red is a red neon but looks more orange than red. 2 coats
Neon Orange is a bright light neon orange. 2 coats. I actually like this kind of neon orange than your typical neon orange you see around. It is more yellow-toned.
Neon Green is another we don't see much. This one is crazy blinding. This was 2 coats with a top coat. The color is very intense.
Neon Coral is a a neon orangey coral. 2 coats. I think this lean more towards neon orange, than neon coral. I guess they used coral because there's a neon orange already? lol I don't know.
Neon Purple is a neon purple. It kind of reminds me of Essie's Perky Purple. But I don't own that one so I can't really compare the two. This was 2 coats.
The formula for these were a little thick but nothing too hard to work with. I had trouble applying for some of them. It was a bit uneven and slightly bumpy, but with a top coat it smoothed everything out. Neon Purple had a perfect formula and applied flawlessly. I can't say the same for the rest. The Neon Yellow and Neon Green were hardest to apply, I guess it's because they're super bright but I don't know.
These costs $6 a bottle at www.americanapparel.com I'm also missing a Neon Blue, but it wasn't on the site when I ordered them, I also don't plan on ordering it either.
Well that's all I have for today, what do you think of these neons?
