Hi guys, a drugstore collection for y’all this time! I see them all over. They’re Milani’s Neons. I think I may be missing a few, pretty sure I’m missing a red. Do you know which ones? I’m not sure myself. I could look it up, but I’m lazy. I only have six here for you.

These polishes are kind of sheer, especially the red-pink-purple ones. Like most neons, a bit of them dry semi matte/end up having a plastic finish. I applied at least two coats, and for the sheer polishes they had three coats. I didn’t wait for them to dry before photographing because as you know I like to move on when I’m swatching, but some of them dried quickly enough for photographing.

PinkRocks
Pink Rocks. Three coats, still slightly opaque. You can see the semi matte/plastic finish a bit here.

DudeBlue
Dude Blue. I love this one.

RadPurple
Rad Purple. I was NOT a fan. Sadly. It looked just like grape juice, and this was three coats. 😦

PinkHottie
Pink Hottie. Looking for a hot Barbie pink? This is it.

AwesomeOrange
Awesome Orange

FreshTeal
Fresh Teal. Teals are hard to photograph, and this one was no exception however it pulled strongly on the blue side. This photograph is pretty color accurate, despite the crazy skin color. I liked this one too 🙂

Had a frustrating week. But most of it is done. Behind in my blogging, sorry about that! I have 29 followers and I feel so excited that people outside my family and friends are reading my blog!

Here, have spam. (not the canned kind).

Zoya Crystal, a dupe to the OPI Reflecting Pool.
THIS IS GORG. It’s got gold flecks in it, and even in dark it will reflect what little light there is and make me look like I have gold nails. Love it.
China Glaze Re-Fresh Mint, a gorgeous pastel light minty green. 
Stamping color: Sally Hansen Chrome in Cinnamon Diamond
Konad Plate
Aside from the slight smearing by topcoats, this was a great mani– it looked like easter eggs on my nails!
Butter London British Racing Green, with Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure layered over.
BRG is a gorgeous dark green with a visible shimmer in the bottle but when I applied it, it looked like hunter green and there was no shimmer (at least none that I could capture on the camera. D:)
Color Club Love ’em Leave ’em
Taupe “holographic” (it’s really very very scattered. I couldn’t get a linear going)
I present to you my favorite look of all this spam. 
Base color: Color Club Ms. Socialite (gorgeous purple. I totes love it.)
Tip and accent color: OPI Show it & Glow it (from their burlesque collection, a fuchsia glitter)
Striping black: Color Club Where’s the Soiree?
Tips were freehanded
 Zoya Mitzi for base (a neon green matte)
China Glaze Crackle in Fault Line
China Glaze from their Tronica collection
Stamped with a BP fauxnad, with CG Snow.

Paired Color Club’s What A Shock! with China Glaze Broken Hearted over it. Why? ‘Cause I can!

Neon green and pink? Yes, indeed. This only stayed on a few hours because the topcoat I used is pretty much almost out, and because of this it’s really goopy and causing mad shrinkage as you can see on my ring finger up there. And shrinkage BUUUUUUGS me.
