NOTD - China Glaze Summer Neon Collection 2012

China Glaze Summer Neon Collection 2012

Nails of the day are the China Glaze collection Summer Neons. It will not be in the UK until March, but here is a sneak preview of the colours. As many of you already know, neon is the hottest thing around for the spring 2012 season so this is a great collection to get your nails on trend. 

 

As you may have guessed they are super neon and most of the polishes have a shimmery finish. The colours are really rich and some you could get away with one coat! I would always finish them with a nice topcoat and Orly's Polishield is still my favourite.

New Orly Primetime and Polishield

 There is a famous quote "By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail" and this is true of nails too. Applying polish to nails that have not been prepped is a chipped nail waiting to happen! In the past I thought that a good quality basecoat would be an adequate foundation for a lasting paint job. 

 This was until I was presented with Orly's new product Primetime. It is a primer for natural nails that balances out the ph levels of the nail and removes any oil or moisture for maximum adhesion. Now a primer has been used in nail extension process for years and it only makes sense that this product will help to make polish last longer.  I will give it a go and report back. 

Orly Primetime  is available for £6.24 inc vat.

  Orly have also introduced a new 3 in 1 topcoat called Polishield. Polishield provides UV protection, a high shine protective chip - proof finish and is also a quick dry treatment. I did have a sneaky try of this topcoat on my nails and it is really nice. It is a slightly thinner topcoat and goes on really smoothly, it has a nice high gloss and dry really quickly. It could become one of my hero products!  


Orly Polishield  is available for £6.24 inc vat.

I am going to have to try each product separately, to see how well each product works (in it's own right) but if you did want both products it is available in a Mini Mani Treatment Trio for £10.80 inc vat
