Hello! Today I have a quick China Glaze swatch to share with you. I recently got my hands on a couple of their older neon polishes - thank you to Timea (@rampartnails). They have been sat in my swatch pile for a few weeks now, and with the end of Summer is approaching I decided I needed to wear at least one. I went for 'Shocking Pink'. Read on for my swatch and more info!

'Pink Voltage' is a bright neon pink with a purple flash. This has a typical neon formula. It is opaque in two coats, but definitely needs a third to even out the streaks. It also dries very quickly to a matte finish, so over-manipulation will cause it to drag. I had a few slight streaks after my third coat, but most did level out/disappear after topcoating. Below is three coats and topcoat.

What do you think? I am very much a pink polish person and I love my neons, so this is perfect for me. That being said, I wasn't a massive fan of the formula. I love that it didn't need a white base coat but it was rather streaky. I think I can just about forgive the formula as I love the end result!
You can find 'Pink Voltage' on Nail Polish Direct for £3.95 here.
