Salon Perfect Bang

Hi, you guys! Hope your weekend is fantastic so far! :)

Today, I've got the other polish I wanted to share with you from the Salon Perfect Neon Collision Collection. Bang is a mix of small matte glitters in bright yellow, pink, and orange all in a sheer orange base.

The formula for this is a tad better than for Zapped, though it's still tricky to apply. I did three coats for the swatches, and they still look a little clumpy at that. The orange color does a better job of masking any imperfections though, since it's a bit closer to skin color than Zapped. The Salon Perfect brushes are narrow, so I think some of the application problems come from that. It's just much harder to get even glitter distribution with a narrow brush than a wider one.

After having tried a few colors from the Neon Collision Collection, I think the colors are bright and fun for summer. And they are unique, at least to what's on the market from the rest of the main stream polish brands. I think using a similar base color before applying the glitters will help a lot in masking any of its unevenness.

You can find Bang exclusively at Walmart stores for a retail price of $3.98 for 0.5 fl oz.

Salon Perfect Zapped

Hi, you guys! How's this week treating you? Mine is good, but busy. At work, we're preparing for an office move next week. Currently everyone has their own offices, but we'll be moving into a different building which only has "team rooms". Yep, I'm pretty sad that I'll be losing my own space at work. We had the open house of the new building this week, and next week we'll be taking training on how to work in a team room lol. I laugh without mirth. (>_<)

Salon Perfect recently announced their new Neon Collision Collection, which combines the trends neon and matte glitters into six bright shades. I want to share with you two of the colors from the collection. Today I've got Zapped, a mix of small matte glitters in bright yellow and blue all in a sheer green-tinted base.

The sheerness of the green base means that the color you see on the nails comes predominantly from the glitters, so it's mostly yellow on the nails while the bottle appears more green. I found application to be quite tricky. The glitters aren't very dense and tend to clump onto themselves, so it was hard to get even coverage. The first coat goes on sparse and patchy, which sets the tone for the rest of the coats to follow. Since the glitters tend to clump together, each additional coat adds more glitter to the areas that already have glitter and doesn't fill in in areas that were bald to begin with. I did three coats for the swatches, and there's still some glitterless patches remaining.

You can find Zapped exclusively at Walmart stores for a retail price of $3.98 for 0.5 fl oz.
