My First Neon Orange Nail Polish

Received China Glaze's Neon Orange nail polish in my Bella Box for August and decide to test it out with Sally Hansen's Hard as Nails as base (which I received in my May Bella Box). Maybe orange's just not for me, the colour's a little too bright for my liking. :(

Comparing SH's Hard as Nails to the normal base coat I use, I still prefer my normal base coat. Don't really see the "hardener" effect. My nails still felt like it's going to break all the time. :(

Comparing China Glaze Neon colour to my other China Glaze colour, it seems that Neon's a tiny bit thicker, would prefer pastel colours or glittery ones. :D

Used OPI Silver Shatter on top of the Neon Orange and it instantly makes it less "刺眼" imo, should have tried black shatter though. :p

Notice sometimes we purchase similar nail colours without realizing it? What you see on the bottle might not show the actual colour that will be on your nails.. Which is why I like to see people posting photos of swatches. :D

Today I'm going to show some of the common colours that I own and hopefully will ease your pain of trying to get the colour you want. :)


1. The Noticeable Pink Battle
China Glaze's Dance Baby Vs OPI's Sparrow Me the Drama






Dance Baby's pops up more, Sparrow Me the Drama's more pastel.


2. The Blue Greens Battle
OPI's Mermaid's Tears Vs China Glaze's Kinetic Candy Vs China Glaze's For Audrey





Mermaid's Tears's more of greyish kind of green, Kinetic Candy's more light bluish, For Audrey's quite close to Tiffany blue.


3. The Glitter's Battle
OPI's Servin' Up Sparkle Vs China Glaze's Techno Vs China Glaze's Fairy Dust





If you ask me, I would say Servin' Up Sparkle, Techno and Fairy Dust are pretty much same, only difference is that Fairy Dust doesn't have the holographic hexagonal pieces thingy and Servin' up Sparkle has more tiny glitters.

Servin' Up Sparkle - Holographic hexagonal pieces + more tiny glitters.
Techno - similar to Servin' up Sparkle but sightly lesser tiny glitters.
Fairy Dust - Only tiny holographic glitters.

If these doesn't help you make up your mind, maybe searching for more swatches will help you in making the choice. :D
