Pop Beauty Nail Glam - Midnight Minx

Blurple shimmer with fine glitter

Midnight Minx is a bluely blurple shimmer with fine blue and magenta glitter that you can hopefully just see in the bottle shot.

Midnight Minx is from the Autumn 2012 collection and I picked it up in the ASOS sale.

Swatches are 2 coats with no top coat.  I've seen other reviews that show this with one coat but there's no way my bottle was going to be opaque at one coat!

It's not a very shiny finish so would definitely benefit from a nice glossy topcoat.

Happy New Year! featuring Pop Twinkle

Silver scattered holo  

Sorry for the lack of posts, the blog went on a Christmas/New Year break with me!

I had a lovely Christmas, good food, great presents, time with friends and family.  Could've done with a bit more relaxing but hey ho..!

So I thought I'd belatedly kick the year off with a dose of sparkley bling in the form of  Pop Twinkle

Twinkle is a silver based scattered holo.  The holo pieces are on the larger side and are pretty densely packed.

Swatch shown is 2 coats and you can still kinda see VNL.  But it's so pretty in the sunlight....

The Pop Beauty Nail Glam bottles are tall, square and shallow, very like the American Apparel ones and hold a generous 15ml.  I bought mine a while ago ASOS, don't think I've ever seen them in a store here in the UK.

Pop Nail Glam - Neons

Pink and Purple Neon

Couple of Pop Nail Glam polishes that I picked up in the ASOS Sale. Actually they were part of a trio but I'm saving the other one for another day.

First up is Violetta

Violetta is a pink toned purple neon.  Like most, or is it all? neons, it dries with a satin finish.

This swatch was 2 coats and now looking at the pics I should've done 3, at least!

The photos have pulled a little pinker and lighter than real life.

Next is Pinkest

This swatch is 3 coats and I can still see VNL in the pics although it wasn't so visible in real life.

Again it dries with a satin finish and the pics aren't colour accurate, the bottle pic at the top is closer to the real colour.

Hmmm, so unfortunately these polishes just prove that me and neon don't get on.  I love the concept but I just don't like them on me.  Which means these, and the unopened box of Color Club Scented Neons I have, need to go straight into the Blog Sale pile.  If I get myselft organised I'm gonna try to do a blog sale before Christmas - famous last words!

What about you gals, are you fans of neon?  And is there a polish you'd recommend to change my mind?
