Fluorescent Friday

Happy Friday, everyone! Just a short post today to show you some W7 fluorescents I got in July. I wanted to be brave and try out some really bright colours - for me! - so here they are.


Left to right: Fluorescent Pink, Fluorescent Orange, Fluorescent Yellow, Fluorescent Green


I layered these over white to make them pop, as I've seen so many bloggers recommend that. The formulas are not too bad, a little goopy, but the brushstrokes are really visible to the naked eye almost like a frost finish. The pink and yellow were two coats, the orange and green needed three.


They are bright in the sun though, and you can't see the brushstrokes here. Huzzah!


Don't mind my thumbnail, I was practising the technique that Chalkboard Nails used for her abstract brush strokes manicure.

Overall I think that these are ok. The pink is by far the best formula and colour, with the least visible brushstrokes. I think these would be fun to use in a dotticure or other patterned design though. Maybe I should try some neons next - what do you think? :)
