First one was diluted and dulled down, thanks to the "save for the web" feature of Photoshop Elements.
This is an E.L.F. polish I found in a three-pack at Ross. It's called Fluorescent Pink. My camera took a photo and it came out HOT, but then I made a copy for the web, and it turned a lot blander.
In any event. here's E.L.F.'s Fluorescent Pink.
Next is OPI Feelin' Hot-Hot-Hot. I have four coats on here and still visible nail line, but it dried beautifully and applied just fine. Fluorescent Pink by E.L.F. is a little less intense. BUT very similar to this color.
Though I will say, this is one gorgeous nail polish! Too bad it has some VNL! Still, can't complain! Gorgeous HOT pink. Bordering on neon.
Last offering is OPI's You're Such a Kabuki Queen.
This is one of those slightly crazy-making colors for those of us who sort our polish out by color.
It's a very dark reddish pink.
Without further ado:
I do love this color. A. Lot. Would I buy it again? YES!
It was four coats as well and some VNL, and a bit of early wear and tear. BUT! I feel the OPI love.
(As you can see, my left hand has shorter nails, it suffered a bunch of breaks, but I don't mind that they are uneven, they grow!)
Sorry about the E.L.F. I really wanted to show that one off. I feel it's a decent alternative if you are looking for that hot pink summer sun action for low cost. Just remember, it's not AS hot as Feelin' Hot-Hot-Hot, but it's a very close polish. Now that I've sussed out the photo editing, I am experimenting with things like size, color correction and watermarking.
I don't have a load of OPI, even the etailer's old discount of $5 a bottle was a bit steep for me. Hot-Hot-Hot, actually, was a cool gift from my sister! I think it looks great on my skin tone. Even though I wear a load of sunblock, my hands get really tanned in the summer.
Thanks for reading my little nail polish journal!
those E.L.F. poishs continually surprise me.
