Lush Lacquer Neon Glitters - Neon Lights, Blue Gypsy, and Green Genie

Hey guys! I'm excited to finally share some of these with you all! When I first laid eyes on the Lush Lacquer neon glitters line, I knew they were perfect for me. I'm big on milky crelly bases loaded with glitter, and neon is always super fun! I have the collection split into two posts... and I may love these so much that I want to share them with you guys *hint hint* so stay tuned! :)

L to R, top to bottom: Neon Lights, Blue Gypsy, Green Genie

Neon Lights is a white crelly base with neon yellow, orange, green and pink hexes in various sizes. I was super excited for this one, since I think the color combo is very pretty and summery (nice to dream of summer when snow(!) is still in the forecast in April), like a juicy fruit cocktail or something. It didn't let me down! I was really sad to take this one off, the white was especially flattering on my skin (coming from someone who adores all white polishes). Application was pretty good with minimal need to arrange glitters; just make sure to apply evenly to avoid a bald spot, which I find more tricky with white polishes.

On my nails:
1 coat Innisfree Eco Peel-off Base coat
3 coats Lush Lacquer Neon Lights
2 coats KB Shimmer Clearly On Top

Blue Gypsy is a light blue crelly base with small blue and purple hexes, medium orange hexes, black stars, and large holo pink circles. I was a little wary of this one, because the color scheme wasn't quite my favorite. Couldn't resist those fun glitters though! The pink circles and stars were a touch tough to snag and place, which is why I ended up doing only two coats for this one -- didn't want to work so hard to get them on the nail and then cover them up! It worked mostly though, with a little dabbling extra base onto sort-of bald patches.

Green Genie is a light pistachio green crelly base with neon rainbow glitter in various sizes of hexes. Yay rainbow glitter! I found the base of this one especially flattering... I know my hands look terrible in these next two photos (again, blame the weather) but I found that the base of this one leaned just right enough towards.. yellow I guess? that my hands didn't go the way of the lobster. Really pretty base color -- like this one a lot! Similar application to Neon Lights.

These all had similar application -- 2-3 coats, easy glitter placement, a little rough so 2 coats of topcoat is probably best. So pretty though! I really love the neon glitter, it really pops and makes for a fun, interesting mani :)

Be sure to look for the other three neon glitter polishes from Lush Lacquer in my next post! And keep your eyes peeled... I might be giving away these pretties soon! :)
