I feel like utter crap today. It may be because I have been sitting in front of the TV for the past two days doing nothing and I am quite possibly in a Gilmore Girls coma. Today I decided to try one of the new neons from the China Glaze Poolside Collection. I thought Yellow Polka Dot Bikini looked like fun, so I pulled out all of my manicure implements and got to painting.
This polish is one of the worst ones I have ever put on my nails... here is the story.
I had heard that neons were difficult, but I have come to feel very confident in applying difficult nail polish. I put on one coat, and kind of felt worried, but I have seen polishes that were bad in the first coat. So I pushed on. And on and on and on! After 5 coats and still no beautiful opaque highlighter yellow nails, I gave up! I removed the polish, and was left with horrible stained hands. My hands looked like a yellow Bic highlighter exploded all over me. But, I am a polisher! I had to try something else! So, I painted a disgusting coat of China Glaze's White on White first. I have heard that a coat of white is sometimes helpful. I could do a whole review on White on White too... but that is for another day. Anywho... I think if I could have gotten an opaque coat of white the polish would have come out ok, and I might save that experiment for another day. But even after the coat of white, this yellow polish was atrocious. I removed the polish again and am still trying to get the yellow stains off of my hands. I'll let you know when I am flesh toned again.
Moral of the story... stay away from this polish! Run run run! Today's polish of the day was a complete fail. Now that I have tried this one, I plan to try some of the others from this collection. I hope the pinks don't let me down. I love pink!
Tomorrow's polish will be better I promise.
I have posted a picture for fun, just in case anyone doesn't know what this polish looks like.
