Hello my lovelies! How is your week so far? I'm studying like crazy and it's only the second week since I started it so I've got over one month to go. I'm already tired and I'm running out of patience. I don't even have the patience to do nails and that's partially why today's manicure is less than perfect. This week's untried theme was "in season", so I had to choose something very summery. Naturally, I went with a neon polish. This polish is the only neon yellow that I own and it was sitting in my untrieds for quite a while.

125 (no name here, sorry) is a neon yellow that comes for a very low price. I don't own many yellow nail polishes but I do like to wear them every once in a while. However, I'm not too crazy about this one. It's neon but not neon enough for my high expectations. It also has a pretty bad formula and a very bad smell.

First off, this polish is pretty sheer, so applying it by itself isn't the best choice. I used a coat of white as a base to help with opacity and color intensity. I used 2 coats of the Farmasi polish and a coat of Seche Vite because it wasn't going to dry by itself. There were also some bald spots and some bubbles but the top coat helped with leveling those out.

I decided to do some nail art on top of this, so I chose plate BM-304 that has a bunch of smiley face images. I wanted to use all the images but the ones on the sides just wouldn't work for me. I think the designs in this plate are too shallow because I tried everything, even barely touching it with the scraper, and it still didn't work. I ended up using just the images in the middle but they didn't stamp well either. Especially the one on the ring finger. By that time I was highly frustrated and couldn't care less about my ring finger looking bad so I just left it like that. I stamped with Konad Black, by the way.
To tell you the truth, I'm not that happy with this polish so I'm probably gonna give it away. It doesn't happen often for me to give a bad review but this time I couldn't help it. To see more "in season" untrieds check out these blogs:

Thank you for stopping by!
Hmm ciudat, am vazut oja asta si pe alb blog si ei ii placea...acuma cred ca depinde si de preferinte, asteptari:) Oricum o nuanta frumoasa si model frumos
ReplyDeleteIts a fun bright color but bummer to hear the formula was bad.
ReplyDeletee foarte frumoasa, cel putin dupa cate imbunatatiri ai adus, arata super manichiura ta!
ReplyDeleteOMG! This shade is simply amazing!
ReplyDeleteI actually really love this yellow on you!
ReplyDeleteCateodata cand nu-ti place formula parca nici nuanta nu-ti mai place. Oricum a meritat incercata pentru 5 lei si o s-o dau la o prietena. Sper ca ei o sa-i placa.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I guess it's always a possibility with neons. Even the more expensive brands have neons with bad formulas sometimes.
ReplyDeleteMultumesc mult! M-am chinuit un pic s-o imbunatatesc ce-i drept.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Glad you like it!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
