KBShimmer is releasing and brand new collection of neons for summer! As far as I can remember, they have not put out a true neon collection before. A few year ago, they had a nice selection of bleached out neons one summer but nothing like this one. These babies are bright! And the best part of all...you don't need a white base to get that blinding bright neon effect. Another bonus for this collection, the names. They perfectly punny in all the right ways. My 80's nostalgia is in love with them. Let's take a look!
First off, photo graphing neon polishes is such a pain. Seriously, it is the bane of nail polish bloggers existence. We try very hard to get things colors accurate but bright neon polishes just freak out the camera. I have two shots of each polish, one in straight, direct light and one slightly off to an angle. Be sure to check out other bloggers' swatches to see these shades under different lighting and cameras. They are hella bright!
Color Me Rad - A bright neon coral creme. This color is amazing. It is definitely coral but leans more to the red/pink side than orange. It is fiery! The formula was amazing as well. I am showing you two coats with Clearly On Top to gloss it up. This will be on my toes all summer.
Please Don't Glow Girl - A super bright, traffic cone orange neon creme. Daaaaang...this is bright. My camera was blowing out the edges of the nails with this color. It looks a bit more red in my photos than it does in real life. It is your classic traffic cone orange. Two coats with Clearly On Top is all I needed.
All the Bright Moves - An eye searing neon yellow creme. This polish is way better than coloring in your nails with a yellow highlighter. You can get that same color in a opaque polish! It is very bright and very yellow. I feel my photos show it a little more green tinted than it is in real life. The formula was pretty good for a bright yellow. I did do three coats with Clearly On Top here.
Race Against Slime - A neon green creme. When someone says neon green, this is the color you think of. There is not too much yellow in this color. More like a neon kelly green than a neon tennis ball green. Two easy coats for full opacity with Clearly On Top.
Double Pog Dare You - A bright robin's egg blue neon creme. This shade is super bright but I don't know if it is as neon as it could be. The color is gorgeous though. There is just the slightest hint of teal undertones here. This could be a stainer. It didn't stain my nails when I did the swatch but when I did my splatter mani, the paint that got on my skin did leave a hint of blue behind. I would double up on the base coat just to be safe. Great formula. I am showing you two coats with Clearly On Top.
Let's Be Frank - A neon radiant orchid purple creme. Another great shade! Again, this might not be exactly neon but it is super bright and beautiful. The formula was nice, too. It almost had more of a crelly finish than a straight creme. Two smooth and squishy coats here with Clearly On Top.
Don't you love these colors? Neons are so popular in the summer but lots of people will wear neon shades year round. Especially if you are in the sweltering heat of Florida and you wear sandals year round. My fave is definitely Color Me Rad but you could probably already guess that if you have been following the blog at all. Which is your fave?
The All the Bright Moves Collection is releasing tomorrow, May 5th, from the KBShimmer site.
