The days are longer and hotter now, and China Glaze has twelve new neon shades for your tips ‘n toes in their Summer Neons collection.

I must say right off the bat that this is my favorite neon collection ever. I wasn’t expecting AT ALL to love these as much as I do. If they had just been a bunch of neon cremes I wouldn’t have. But iridescent shimmery neons? Oh yes. There are a couple non-shimmery shades in here, but few.

As far as formula some of them are thicker and you should wait a few minutes in-between coats because you will get pooling and/or cuticle drag. But nearly all of them came out perfect after 2-3 coats.

Sun-Kissed

Sun-Kissed is a shimmery highlighter yellow. This is uber-bright. Even brighter in person. I love it, the shimmer just makes it perfect in my eyes.

Starting on May 1st you can pick up the new Urban Decay Showboat Nail Kit for summer 2012.

This six piece mini nail kit features neons, shimmers and a creme, all in great summer shades.

These mini bottles are just 0.16 oz, so they really are small. But if you change your mind a lot or just won’t use a full size bottle of polish (who ever does?) they may be right for you!

American Apparel has a new summer collection out which includes six new NEON colors. I mean NEON!

Some companies say they have neon polish but really it’s just a bright creme. These (well most that I tried) are truly retina-burning brights.

My eyes actually adjusted when I looked at some of them!

The six shades are:

• Neon Orange
• Neon Red
• Neon Coral
• Neon Green
• Neon Yellow
• Neon Violet

Starry Temptress is the second collection from Color Club for this summer.

Starry Temptress includes neon colors, but with a slight twist. They have holographic glitter in them! You don’t find that very often, in fact I’m not sure I have anything like it.

They also include a glittery holographic top coat with the set, which can give you even more sparkle if you so desire.

The formula on these was much, much better than Wicked Sweet I found. These were thicker, but not in a bad way, and covered all in two coats, no problem! One thing I noticed was that the glitter kind of settled into the polish color so it didn’t look as sparkly as you might expect. Not sure I love that, I need to try with the top coat to see how that makes it look.
