Shinespark Polish Swatch And Review: Reformulated 80's Neon CollectionPart 2

Hey y'all! Today on the blog I have part 2 of my swatch and review of the reformulated 80's Neon Collection by Shinespark Polish, you can see part one HERE. As I stated in Tuesday's post, Shinespark Polish originally released this neon collection back in March for her spring launch. As a new indie, Molly got a lot of feedback from her testers, swatchers, and customers about her neon collection - some of the feedback was lack of opacity in certain shades, some requiring up to 4 coats for full opacity, other feedback was that many were hoping to watermarble with their 80's neons and were having difficulty. She took the 80's Neon Collection back to the drawing board and completely revamped the formula on this beautiful collection. She added pigment to the 4 coaters, changed the suspension base to make them easy to marble, and she added a color - Totally Teal! 

I purchased the original 80's collection back in March and loved them as they were so when Molly asked me to swatch and test the watermarble capability of her reformulated version, I gladly accepted! So let's get into the second half of this collection, shall we?

Swirl watermarble using Glam Green, Totally Teal, Bouncin' Blue, and Psych'd Purple

Glam Green 

Glam Green 

The fifth polish in the collection is Glam Green, a fluorescent neon green creme with subtle micro shimmer throughout. This swatch shows 3 coats plus topcoat and no white undie. The photo makes it look almost pistachio but its not quite that light in person, its actually a little deeper but definitely a wearable green. It would look FAB in a pedicure with a tan. Again, as has been the case with all of the reformulated versions of this collection, this formula is on the thicker side but I didn't experience any difficulty applying in thin coats. 

Totally Teal 

Totally Teal 

The sixth polish in this collection is Totally Teal which is a newly released shade that was not available in the original 80's Neon Collection. I love that she added a teal! Totally Teal is a bright blue leaning teal creme with a jelly-like finish This swatch shows 2 coats plus topcoat with no white undie. Looking at the swatch now, I am sure that a 3rd coat would have brought complete opacity but in person, it looked opaque with 2 which is why I left it like this for the photo. A little VNL doesn't bother me but a 3rd coat would easily take care of it. The formula on this one was nice, a little thinner than the others in the collection and very easy to apply.

Bouncin' Blue 

Bouncin' Blue 

The seventh polish in this collection is Bouncin' Blue, a bright cornflower blue creme with subtle micro shimmer throughout. This swatch shows 2 thin coats with topcoat and no white undie. Ughhhhh this blue is everything that is right and good in the world. I love this color and kinda just want to take a bath in it. Too much? Well...its really pretty. Don't judge me! The formula was a little thicker on this one like most of the others but applied nicely in 2 coats.

Psych'd Purple 

Psych'd Purple

The final polish in this collection is Psych'd Purple, a vibrant orchid creme with subtle micro shimmer throughout. This swatch shows 2 coats with topcoat and no white undie. The formula on Psych'd Purple is identical to the others in the collection - thicker but easy to apply. Each of the polishes in this collection self levels well and leaves no bald patches or brush strokes behind. 

That concludes part 2 of my two part review of the newly reformulated 80's Neon Collection from Shinespark Polish. I really enjoyed swatching these and playing around with them for watermarbling! You can pick up this collection for $55 for the full sized set, $24 for the mini sized set, $8 for full sized individual polishes, or $3.75 for mini sized individual polishes. 

What do you think of the colors in this collection? What's your favorite neon shade?
