Electric Daisy
Description: a neon highlighter yellow
Electric Daisy if you asked for a BRIGHT eye-searing neon yellow, this is the polish for you!
I found the formula to be a little bit on the thicker side but it self levels and applies very nicely. This is what I think of as a classic highlighter yellow shade.
My photos show Electric Daisy in 2 coats plus glossy top coat. I will call this a 2-3 coater depending on preference and application style.
Guilty Pleasure
Description: a neon purple
Guilty Pleasure in case you missed the memo, there is no such thing as a true neon purple but Guilty Pleasure does a great job of still giving us a bright summery shade!
The formula was awesome, not too thick or too thin. I found it dries down just slightly darker than it initially applies.
My photos show Guilty Pleasures in 2 coats plus glossy top coat. This is another one that I will call a 2-3 coater depending on your personal preference.
High Roller
Description: a neon mint green
High Roller as someone who doesn’t usually like mint greens, apparently throwing some neon pigment at a mint green gets me to change my tune.
High Roller has a fantastic formula, it has amazing coverage on the first coat. It’s not a one coater but it still really great coverage. I do think a large part of that opacity is due to this having a bit of a thicker formula.
My photos show High Roller in 2 coats plus glossy top coat. This will be another 2-3 coater, if you overwork your coats you will create some bald spots.
Mile High Club
Description: a neon cobalt blue
Mile High Club as someone who has a slight problem obsession with cobalt blues, it makes me incredibly happy that there is a BRIGHT cobalt blue in this release. This is the first of 2 new shades.
In comparison to the other polishes in this release, the formula was a lot shinner, and the overall polish was on the more sheer side. I often find cobalt blue cremes to need to be built up in 2-3 coats so I wasn’t surprised by this being a bit more sheer than the other polishes.
My photos show Mile High Club in 2 coats plus glossy top coat. I had originally thought that I reached full opacity in two coats but looking at my footage, I can see some VNL. A third coat will cover that right up.
Plastik
Description: a deep neon magenta pink
Plastik is the returning shade that I am most happy that has made a comeback. I didn’t have this one and tried to tell myself that Socialite was a “close enough” shade. Spoiler, they’re not that similar and I am happy to add this to the collection!
Much like the majority of the collection, we have a slightly thicker but very opaque formula. This applied so evenly and I was really impressed with the level of brightness.
This has a little bit more purple in it to be called a PANK so I’ll call it a purpley pank.

Road Rage
Description: a neon red with pink undertones
Road Rage this is the eye searing bright red that I wanted for neon season! This is one of the new shades for the year.
Once again, we have an amazing formula that’s a little bit on the thicker side but still very easy to apply. It was also just shy of being a one coater on me.
While in the bottle, you can really see those pink undertones, I found that this dries down darker than it applies and leans more towards red than pink. This also warmed up my skintone just a little bit but we didn’t get into lobster hands territory.

Final Thoughts
I am incredibly happy with this collection. First, it’s a neon collection so duh I like it. Second, we have a full on rainbow of colors! And most importantly, fantastic formulas.
I will admit, I was a little bit disappointed initially that we didn’t get a full collection of new shades. I do really like brands bringing back fan favorites, plus the two new shades are phenomenal so that quelled any irritations in me.
My top picks are going to be Mile High Club, Road Rage, Electric Daisy and Plastik. It’s a neon season, I can pink 4 top picks if I want to!
