Usually when I enter Ulta, I often steer towards Essie and OPI, but I couldn't find those brands at Sally's. I wasn't very keen on China glaze as their colors tend to be more bold and plain. I find myself attracted to shimmers, glitters and 'interesting' colors. So I picked up this "Shocking pink (neon)" color as I thought it would be look nice with my flip flops. I rarely buy pinks as it's a color I've worn a bit too often in middle school. But since I left 95% of my nail polish collection at home, I decided a neon pink would be a nice addition to my little family. Currently, I find myself wearing light pastels, neutral colors, and DIY french manicure when I have too much time.
The chips at the ends of my nails are pretty evident here. The color itself is a neon, cool, pink, but it does not suit my skin tone. I think this would look nice on pale hands but I recently got tanned and it doesn't look so great. With my currently tanned skin (body: NC30), bold, bright colors seem to not make me look more tan but more so 'dirtier', and hence why I've been steering towards neutrals. The vibrant color seems to accentuate the stubbiness of my nails, as well as emphasize the wrinkles on my hands. With bold colors, I usually prefer the jelly-like look with lots of gloss so that it looks more polished. However, this color is really flat. I think the flatness is the reason behind accentuating the wrinkles and the dry skin at the nail bed area. The color attracts attention but the color is not 'clean looking' enough to make the hand look polished. The fun color also doesn't really fit in with my age and lifestyle so I'll just leave it to the toes for now.
