Barry M Neon Yellow

So this is rather a bright yellow! I’m talking fluorescent highlighter yellow:

So with most yellows, application can be a problem. Not here! This was opaque in 3 coats. Also, most neon polishes dry matte, however Neon Yellow dried to a relatively glossy finish. I think that can probably be attributed to the silvery shimmer running through it. My ring finger has no topcoat on. There’s definitely a rubbery element to the finish but it’s very definitely glossy. There’s also a greenish tinge to the yellow, which makes it look much better on my pink fingers than a pure yellow does. It’s much like a yellow highlighter, that’s the only way I can think to describe the colour!

Application:

The polish dried quickly and was opaque in 3 coats. It’s worth being aware that the polish is touch-dry a few minutes after application, but remains dentable for a good hour or so! I had to completely redo two nails as I was having a bit of an absent-brain-day. I used two coats of basecoat underneath as I was worried this polish would stain. Suffice to say, I did have to work that little bit harder to get the yellow out but the extra coat did the trick. My nails remain un-stained. I would definitely recommend you use an extra coat of basecoat to save your nails from staining!

It’s definitely a wildly eye-catching polish and not for the faint-hearted. There is just no way you can hide it when it’s on! It’s almost luminescent. This is yet another Barry M I’ve never seen in shops, and another one my mum kindly bought me for Christmas from Barry M online!

Have you tried this one? Would you wear such a bright polish or are you all about the darks? I guess it’s a really good polish for summer. I think it would probably look best on darker skin than mine, but I’m never going to get a tan as it’s England!

How is your week going? I have some  very exciting news: my Andy has launched his business online this week and it has so far been very successful! He’s monitoring the traffic at the moment so I won’t link it but I am very proud of him! He has worked so hard. I’m back at uni now and getting back into the swing of things.
