Hi girls!
I have the latest China Glaze collection to show you today! I don't know about you but I'm always super excited about the neons that China Glaze realeases each Summer. It probably all started with Flip Flop Fantasy... Ever since I've tried that beauty, I've been yearning for more ChG eye-searing neons.
Well, I had really high hopes for this year's Sunsational Neon collex, let's give them a closer look after the jump, shall we?

Swatching this collection was really difficult, I think it took me 2 entire afternoons to get something decent...
It was difficult because several of them gave me trouble with application (and I'm a stubborn perfectionist!) but also because they are all SO bright that they kept making my camera freak out. You can even see that I had to change my usual hand pose for this review as I couldn't get both relatively color accurate polish and skin (hello corpse hands LOL)
All things considered, I do like most of them and looking at my swatches, I can only admit that they make a gorgeous collection color wise. But if you're thinking about getting them, be prepared for laborious application, especially on the 3 coaters.
Application tips : make sure that you have enough nail polish on the brush, work slowly, avoid going over the same area twice and use a high quality topcoat to even them out or you'll probably end up with a streaky mess.
Oh and one last thing : I doubt that Keepin’ it Teal and Isle See You Later (respectively 3 and 4 coats each here) would ever reach full opacity so you might want to keep that in mind as well (and save them for sandwich manicures for example ^_^)
Did you grab any of these? What did you think about them? Did they gave you a hard time with application?
