I want a neon pink nail polish

27 replies

MooMinCow · 24/06/2012 18:55

any recommendations? had a quick look in Boots earlier ( had kids in tow) but nothing looked bright enough - they all looked too fuschia/purple toned. I want a more Barbie/bubblegum pink. Blush

I have olive/dark tan skin if that helps, and colour will be worn more on toes than fingers I think!

Don't know what level of brand you're after but this is from Asda. I have this colour and quite a few others from Asda. They seem to last quite well but for £1 each, it might be worth a go.

LetUsPrey · 24/06/2012 19:01

Flip. My link doesn't seem to have worked.

I'll try again.

Asda nail polish

Barry M's your man.

MooMinCow · 24/06/2012 19:17

Will have a look in Asda, as yes, want a cheap one! (I use a good top coat that acts like cement on ANY polish)

DameD, I find BarryM polishes a bit hit and miss. The pearly/frosty ones are fine, but the creme/opaque shades always apply streaky on me and I have to apply 3 coats to get the colour Sad

Any more suggestions?

Barry M, they have a 'shocking pink' which is neon and also 'bright pink' which is a pretty barbie pink.

givememarzipan · 24/06/2012 19:20

sorry x-post!

Rimmel also have a good neon pink.

givememarzipan · 24/06/2012 19:23

here rimmel

MooMinCow · 24/06/2012 19:23

Is it this one Marzipan? That's the kind of shade I'm after! Might use some Superdrug/Boots points and get it free Grin

This, x 1000
In fact the customer review complained that it is a "shocking, super bright pink"
I wear it all the time and love it

MooMinCow · 24/06/2012 22:06

ooo brighthair - that is spot on! thank you! (does it apply nicely?). excited about my (soon to be) Nicki Minajesque nails Grin

brighthair · 24/06/2012 22:08

It does, goes on smoothly. I use 2-3 coats to get that fluoro insane look Grin

germyrabbit · 24/06/2012 22:12

nails inc have one (just out didn't take note of name)

PlumSykes · 24/06/2012 22:16

Primark have some AMAZING neon varnishes at the moment. I bought the orange yesterday, but there was a pink, yellow etc. Not tremendous quality, but I am a cheap date, and it's not a colour you'll want forever.

MooMinCow · 24/06/2012 22:26

Germy - I am partial to Nails Inc (always grab the magazine freebie ones, or gift sets in TK Max) so will keep an eye out.

Plum - I was planning a Primarni trip later this week - thanks!

Not quite neon, but revlon sweet tart is a bit minaj

WhyTheBigPaws · 25/06/2012 08:32

I've been looking everywhere but none of the ones in the shops is bright enough for me. I've just ordered this and if it looks good I might get the orange as well.

whitelillies · 25/06/2012 09:28

Opi have a great pink "la-pazitively hot " perfect for what you're looking for

Filofax · 25/06/2012 11:37

I bought one last year from Boots, the brand was Pixi and it was about £5. It's a proper neon pink!

Quejica · 25/06/2012 12:13

I got a lovely Leighton Denny one free with a July magazine, I think it was Harper's Bazaar.

MooMinCow · 25/06/2012 12:43

Wow - loads of suggestions! Will head into town tomorrow to investigate the options Grin

I couldn't see Barry m one in boots. Got a Rommel one

MooMinCow · 26/06/2012 17:51

I couldn't find that Barry M one either, maybe it's only available online? I picked up 2 NYC ones from Superdrug (2 for £3) so will give them a go!
