Flirty Tankini
One Coat:
Flirty Tankini is described as a "Shimmery strawberry smoothie pink", I think Flirty Tankini has a bit of a coral hue to it, a shimmery pink but not necessarily a "strawberry pink." Flirty Tankini had a pretty great formula, it was fully opaque after 2 coats, but there was some pooling at the cuticles.
Hang-Ten Toes
One Coat:
Hang-Ten Toes is described by China Glaze as a "Bubblegum neon with iridescent purple shimmer" and I think this is a pretty accurate description. Hang-Ten Toes is a bright bubblegum pink with a purple shimmer. Hang-Ten Toes fully covered in 2 coats and as the picture shows, there was some pooling because of the formula, but the formula was still pretty great.
Splish-Splash
One Coat:
Splish-Splash is described as a "Bright sky blue shimmer" although I think Splish-Splash is a darker medium blue with a beautiful shimmer, not quite a sky blue, but beautiful nonetheless. Splish-Splash was fully opaque in 1 coat, Splish-Splash had a GREAT formula, and it did not pool in my cuticles at all!
Under the Boardwalk
One Coat:
Under the Boardwalk is described as a "Fluorescent raspberry," although I see Under the Boardwalk as more of a pinkish fuchsia jelly. Under the Boardwalk was mostly opaque in 2 coats, I say mostly because Under the Boardwalk is a jelly, meaning the finish is not as creamy and is more see-through, more "jelly like."
Love's A Beach
One Coat:
Love's A Beach is described as a "Sizzling hot pink" which is PERFECT for Love's A Beach. Love's A Beach is one of my favorites out of the polishes I have from this collection, its a gorgeous hot pink with a beautiful shimmer, I use the term "Barbie Pink" a lot, but this is another polish that I think fits that description. A GORGEOUS color, perfect for those hot summer days that covers in 2 coats with a great formula, I didn't really NEED the second coat, but wanted to just make sure there was a fully even coat.
Ride the Waves
One Coat:
Ride the Waves is described as a " Dark ocean blue" which is decently accurate, I think Ride the Waves is a jelly version of Splish-Splash minus the shimmer, but there is a slight more teal hue to Ride the Waves which was difficult to capture on my camera. Ride the Waves was mostly opaque in 2 coats, as a jelly like Under the Boardwalk, Ride the Waves does not get fully opaque and you can still see the nail line, but thats part of the jelly finish. Ride the Waves was one of my other favorites of this collection, I don't own many jellies, but I love the finish on Ride the Waves and the rich color that is fun for summer!
I think the China Glaze Summer Neon Collection is a gorgeous collection, China Glaze polishes always have an amazing formula and great color choices, so I hope to pick up some other polishes, I really am interested in Orange You Hot?, for someone thats not a giant fan of orange, it grabs my attention and drags me in! I MUST have it!
