Little 80ies Flashback - Milani HD Neons in Pink Rocks and Fresh Teal

Hello and Welcome!

Today I am taking you guys on a little time warp trip with 2 beautiful neon polishes from Milani. I know, the 80ies are definitely over by now, but hey, neons are definitely a must have for me when we are talking summer, so it is sun, sand and neons for me :-)
I got those two polishes way back in march, when they were released together with the Milani Holographic polishes, but youcan still find them at drugstores, Milani's website or cherrycouture. Back in march the weather was still meh and I wasn't really too motived to try those polishes. But now with some nice weather, hey, I needed to get these babies out and swatched asap. So here we go :-)

Both polishes, Pink Rocks and Fresh Teal, appy really easily, but the first coat is waaaaaay sheer. I needed three coats until I got them opaque enough for me, which works without problems as the formula is on the thin side, so no gloopy thick coats here. The polish dries like most neons really quick (which is a nice plus) and has a semi matte finish, meaning matte but with a subdued shine. Like it! So you can either play up the shine with a topcoat, or go totally matte with a matting topcoat, like Essie's Matte about you, your choice ladies ;-)
All the polishes come in a colored bottle, so you can't actually see the polish until you open it. Weird. Fortunately, the polish turned out to be pretty color true to the bottle color, but still weird.
Overall, these babies are not quite as bright and in your face as for example China Glazes Poolside Collection, they are (if you could even say that about a neon) a little subdued. Still bright and fresh, but not jumping in your face.

So on to the picture evidence!
