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?

Flormar - U14 - Miracle Colors

Nuanta U14 din colectia Flormar Supershine Miracle Colors este un rosu intens, cu un discret shimmer auriu. Mi se pare ca seamna cu Smitten With Mittens de la OPI.

The U14 shade from Flormar's Supershine Miracle Colors collection is a bright red with discreet golden shimmer. i think it resembles Smitten With Mittens from OPI.

Este opaca din doua straturi subtiri si se usuca foarte repede. Este foarte stralucitoare si mi se pare perfecta pentru Craciun...chiar si in mijlocul lui August!

It's opaque in two thin coats and it dries pretty fast. It's very shiny and it think it's perfect for Christmas...even in the middle of August!

Max Factor - Cerise

Max Factor a lansat la inceputul anului o coletie de lacuri de unghii foarte lucioase, rezistente si in culori la moda. Pentru moment, m-a oprit la nuanta numarul 85 - Cerise, dar Lilac Lace si Amethyst imi fac si ele cu ochiul.

Max Factor released at the beginning of the year a new collection of extremly glossy, long wear nail lacquers in trendy colors. For now, i only got  Cerise - number 85, but Lilac Lace and Amethyst appeal to me as well.

Tinand cont de cat de lucioasa este, numele de Glossfinity al colectiei i se potriveste foarte bine! Cerise este un rosu cu tente oranj si o formula jelly. Aplicarea se face foarte usor si doua straturi sunt suficiente. Se usuca foarte repede si nu este nevoie sa aplicati top coat.

Considering how shiny it is, the Glossfinity name of the collection suits it perfectly!Cerise is an orange-red and has a jelly formula. It applies easily and two coats are enough. It dries really fast and there is no need for a top coat.
