China Glaze announces their Summer Neons.
Are you ready for summer yet? I know I am! I’m just ready for this dreary winter weather to pass already. It has been rainy here in the Netherlands and we’ve had just yucky weather in general. So finding out about this collection made me long for summer even more.
Would you just look at these gorgeous colors:
They are from top left to bottom right:
- Love’s a Beach,
- Hang-ten toes,
- Beach Cruise-r,
- Under the boardwalk,
- Ride the waves,
- Splish Splash,
- I’m with the Lifeguard,
- Sun-Kissed,
- Orange you hot?,
- Surfin’ for boys,
- Flirty Tankini
- Pink Plumeria
Twelve new sizzling shades for surf, sand & nightlife indeed!
Now I am of course waiting for swatches of this collection but by the first look of it I need at least half of these. Well okay a little more than half; probably only seven of them as I’m not feeling those pinks. But I never am so that’s no surprise. I am particularly curious about the purples as one of them seems to be a Flying Dragon dupe without the pesky shimmer that seems to turn it matte.
I’m also looking forward to seeing swatches as it’s now hard to tell if they are opaque or will take a few coats before you get full coverage. Most neons are usually opaque which means I’ll have to use a white basecoat first. But since they’ve released a collection like that before in 2008. (Their Ink collection had a few neons like Pink Voltage and Celtic sun that were not opaque.) So I hope that this collection will be a 1 coater!
Sadly I have not found a release date for these pretties yet, but I do hope they will be released very soon so they can chase this sad weather away.
What do you think? Are you looking forward to painting your nails with these colors?
Or are they possibly too bright for your taste?

Nope, not too bright, but somehow these collections always remind me of the Poolside collection which came out a couple of years ago. So I kinda have enough of those neonbrights. I might take a look at the two blues and the darker purple though :) One can never have enough blues and purples :)
Wat een gave kleuren allemaal.
Liefs, xx
Hmmm, I get a ‘been there, done that’ feeling from this collection. Like Wendy said, reminds me of the poolside collection.
I like the look of that blue…will be interesting to see them swatched!
Neons polishes! OMG, it screams summer! And that’s cool! love that!
I’m not a neon fan but this year, I wanna try! :D
True neons always dry semi-matte I’ve found. What I’m irritated with Flying Dragon about is the glitter. I hope none of these have glitter in them.
I agree, I really do not like that about Flying Dragon, so I hope to do or see a comparison between the two soon where the color is the same but without the glitter ;)
