China Glaze - Sun Worshiper

A venit timpul sa va arat cea mai minunata, senzationala, fantastica oja neon din lume: Sun Worshiper de la China Glaze! Nu exista cuvinte care sa arate cat de mult pot sa iubesc nuanta asta!

It is time to show you the most wonderful, sensational, fantastical nail polish in the world: China Glaze's Sun Worshiper! There are no words to express how much a truly love this shade!

Unii considera aceasta nuanta ca fiind portocalie dar pentru mine este cel mai aprins galben posibil! Poti opri traficul sau dirija avioane cu oja asta pe unghii! Am fost oprita pe strada si intrebata ce minunatie de oja port si mi s-a intamplat ca persoane cu care purtam o discutie sa se opreasca in mijlocul unei fraze pentru ca nu se puteau concetra din cauza unghiutelor mele stralucitoare! Eu prefer sa o port aplicand 2 straturi peste o baza de alb dar devine opaca si din patru straturi fara baza. Ca majoritatea ojelor neon se usuca foarte repede dar mat, asa ca un top coat este necesar pentru a o face lucioasa. Face parte din colectia Poolside din 2010, ca si Flip Flop Fantasy.

Some consider this shade an orange but for me it's the brightest yellow ever! You can stop traffic or direct aircrafts with this polish on your nails! People stopped me on the street and asked me what is this marvelous shade i'm wearing and friends i was having a conversation with were stopping mid-sentence because they were unable to focus due to my radiant nails! I prefer wearing it in two coat over a white base but it also gets opaque in 4 coats on its own. Like most neon polishes it dries really fast but to a matte finish so a top coat is necessary for making it shiny. It's part of the Poolside collection from 2010, just like Flip Flop Fantasy.

China Glaze - Rose Among Thorns

Din momentul in care am intrat in frenezia unghiilor pictate in culori neon, am cautat si un rosu care sa se incadreze in aceasta categorie. Cei de la China Glaze au probabil cea mai mare gama de oje neon si la ei am gasit raspunsul cautarilor mele: Rose Among Thorns!

Since i got carried away into the neon frenzy, i started looking for a red that falls into this category. China Glaze has probably the biggest range of neon nail polishes, and that's where i found the answer to my search: Rose Among Thorns!

Cum se intampla cu majoritatea neoanelor, fotografiile nu surprind nici pe departe adevarata intensitate a culorii. Este mult mai vibranta in realitate! Formula este foarte subtire si e nevoie de trei straturi pentru o acoperire decenta, dar care tot lasa linia unghiei usor vizibila. Eu am foosit doar doua straturi peste o baza de alb pentru o acoperire perfecta si o culoare mai intensa. Finish-ul este satinat si pentru mai multa stralucire trebuie sa folositi un top coat.

Like in the case of most neons, the photos don't show the true intensity of the color. It's a lot more vibrant in reality! The formula is thin and it need three coats for a decent coverage, that still leaves a slightly visible nail line. I used two coats over a white base for a perfect coverage and a brighter color. It dries to satin, so you'll need a top coat for a shiny finish.

Do you know other neon reds?

Gabrini - Summer Edition C 05 - neon green

Cochetez de ceva timp cu idea de a incerca si un verde neon dar nu am reusit inca sa ma decid intre Kiwi Cool-Ada si In The Limelight de la China Glaze. Probabil o sa ajung sa le iau pe amandoua... Dar pana atunci am incercat verdele neon de la Gabrini, din colectia lor de vara de anul acesta.

I've been contemplating for a while the idea of trying a neon green nail polish but i haven't been able to decide between Kiwi Cool-Ada and In The Limelight from China Glaze. I'll probably end up getting them both... But until then i tried the neon green from Gabrini's Summer Edition collection from this year.

Ce imi place cel mai mult la aceasta oja este ca spre deosebire de majoritatea celor neon, care au nevoi de o baza de alb pentru o acoperire perfecta, aceasta devine complet opaca din doua straturi. Se aplica foarte usor si se usuca destul de repede. Are un finish lucios si este foarte stralucitoare.

What i love most about it is that unlike most neon nail polishes, who require a whiste base for a perfect coverage, this one is completely opaque in two coats. It applies easily and it dries pretty fast. It dries very shiny and is extremely bright. Definitely not for the faint of heart!

SpaRitual - Color Trip

Color Trip este un roz electrict din colectia Kaleidoscope din vara lui 2010 a celor de la SpaRitual.

Color Trip is an electric pink from SpaRitual's Kaleidoscope Collection, from the Summer of 2010.

 Culoarea poate fi descrisa si ca magenta dar este suficienta de intensa pentru a fi considerata neon. Devine completa opaca din trei straturi, doua lasand linia unghiei putin vizibila. Se usuca satinat asa ca aveti nevoie de un top coat pentru mai multa stralucire.

The color can be described as magenta but it's bright enough to be considered a neon. It's opaque in three coats, two leaving a visible nail line. It dries to satin so you will need a top coat for extra shine.

China Glaze - Flip Flop Fantasy

Ador ojele in culori neon si desi Sun Worshiper este preferata mea, Flip Flop Fantasy din colectia Poolside din 2010 a celor de la China Glaze este o concurenta serioasa pentru primul loc!

I adore neon nail polishes and although Sun Worshiper is my favorite, Flip Flop Fantasy from China Glaze's 2010 Poolside Collection, is a close second!

Ca toate lacurile de unghii neon, Flip Fantasy este aproape imposibil de fotografiat corect. Este un corai foarte intens ce atrage atentia in orice situatie! Categoric nu pentru cele care prefera culorile clasice sau discrete! Din pacate, formula nu este foarte buna. E un pic groasa si e nevoie de trei starturi aplicate cu grija pentru un rezultat egal. Se usuca satinat asa ca un top coat pentru uscare rapida este necesar pentru a o face lucioasa si a scurta timpul de uscare. Dar rezultatul final merita cu prisosinta!

Like all neons, Flip Flop Fantasy is almost impossible to photograph correctly. It's an insanely bright coral that get's attention in any situation! Definitely not for those of you who prefer classic or discrete shades! Unfortunately, the formula isn't very good. It's a little thick and it takes three carefully applied coats for an even finish. It dries to satin so a fast drying top coat is a necessity to get it shiny and to shorten the drying time. But the end result is absolutely worth it!

Flormar - N008 - Neon Pink

Nu am fost si probabil nu o sa fiu niciodata o fana a rozului, dar ador unghiile in culori neon si nu puteam sa am un set complet fara un roz. Si pentru a a initia in tainele acestei culori atat de iubita de majoritatea femeilor, am ales de la Flormar nuanta N008 din colectia lor superNEON colors. Si spre marea mea surpriza...imi place!

I never was and probably never will be a pink lover, but i do adore neon colors on my nails and i needed a neon pink to have a complete set. To initiate myself in the mysteries of a color so loved by the majority of women, i've chosen Flormar N008, from their superNEON colors collection. And to my huge surprise... i like it!

Singurul lucru care imi displace la ojele neon este necesitatea de a le aplica peste o baza de alb pentru a le face cu adevarat intense, sau pentru a acoperi complet linia unghiei. Din fericire, rozul neon al celor de la Flormar acopera perfect din doua straturi subtiri. Nu va lasati inselati de poza, este mult mai intens in realitate!

The only thing i hate about neon nail polishes is that usually you have to layer them on a white base to make them really pop, or to completely cover the nail line. Fortunately, Flormar's neon pink gives you perfect coverage in two thin coats. And don't let yourselves be cheated by the pictures, it's a lot brighter in reality!
