China Glaze Poolside-2 More! Sun Worshiper & Yellow Polka Dot Bikini

Here we go, two more from the China Glaze Poolside Collection! You can find swatches of Pool Party and Flip Flop Fantasy in the post below this one, and I'll be back later today with Towel Boy Toy and Kiwi Cool-Ada. The sunshine we're enjoying today, along with these colors, have put me in a great mood. Come on Summer!

Above & Below: Sun Worshiper is like nothing I have in my collection. I have yellows and oranges, but I have no orangello! I opted for 3 coats on these over a white base color, and any streakiness that was evident on the first 2 coats disappeared after the final coat. Yellow Polka Dot Bikini is a fluorescent yellow that looks like it could glow in the dark! The formula on this one seemed a little thinner than the others, but didn't pose any real problems.

As I mentioned in my previous post, these are working out much better using a white base coat. I am using OPI Van-Couvered in Snow, because although I have no scientific evidence to back this up, I'm finding that I get a more even application if I use a shimmer instead of a creme for the white base. I'm wondering if perhaps the neon shades apply better over a shimmer because the metal flake gives them something to adhere to. At any rate, I'm totally enjoying this collection. I'm not having any real problems with the application, which has been my complaint in the past with neon shades.
