Imperfectly Painted: glow in the dark

*I received the following product in exchange for my honest review.

I have a polish I received at Cosmoprof that fits into the holidays! I'm trying to make sure I cover as many holiday polishes as I can because time will fly by! I was happy I had a Cosmoprof one that fit the holiday theme! This is another one by Serum No.5, and what makes this one extra special is that it glows in the dark!

Yule Light Up My Life

Yule Light Up My Life- Glow in the Dark

Yule Light Up My life is a rainbow glitter base in a milky glow in the dark base.

Collection: Serum No.5 Holiday 2014

Color: This is pretty amazing. You can wear this layered or on its own. I chose to wear it on its own because the base of this has some milkiness/cloudiness to it that does cover your nail more than a clear polish. I'm guessing that milkiness is caused by the glow pigment. I love this polish. It is perfectly festive and fun. I love array of color glitters in here as well as the variety of sizes. The glow factor is strong too. I don't recall ever seeing a polish that glows white either.

Formula: This had an excellent and easy to use formula for a glitter. I used 3 coats above and found this glitter applied very easy to the nail.

Price: This is $13.00 on Serum No.5's website.

Overall: This is another all star polish for me. I love everything about it . The color of the glitter. The opacity of the polish and the formula is great. The glow factor is always a plus. This is another polish that just makes me happy. I love everything about Yule Light Up My Life!

Happy Friday!

I don't often have entire collections to share with you all, but I do today. I glanced by this collection on Head2ToeBeauty about 2 weeks ago and I was very intrigued. I understand the repetition we get in seasonal collections. Spring=Pastels, Summer=Neons/Brights, Fall=Vamps, and etc. I like these types of colors enough, but I'm always wanting something extra. I want to see these types of seasonal colors amplified.

This is what I saw with this Color Club collection. They took pastel neons and made them into jelly glitters and glow in the dark. Thank you! I bought this blind without seeing swatches or anything, so it was a bit of a gamble, but I'm pleased!

This is going to be a rather extended review. I really want to give you the best review possible, since I see very few reviews of these so far from bloggers.

Glow the Dark:
Mind you, I've never photographed glow in the dark polishes. In all honesty, I do not have the right camera or skills to capture these decently, but I have put together a collage of what I could capture to the best of my ability. I used my phone for these photos.

Collection: Color Club Poptastic Pastel Neon Remix Spring/Summer 2015

Color: When I got this I hoped they would be opaque. These can be paired with the Color Club Pastel Neon collection which are just cremes. I do not own those. I didn't want to layer these because I feel you would get virtually the same result by just adding a coat of one of those thousands of iridescent glitter toppers out there by doing that. I've never seen pastel jelly glitters, and I wanted them to be exactly that! These do achieve opacity easily (mostly) in three coats. Yes, these colors are pale and soft, but they are definitely opaque! My only concern would be if you have long nails or if your nails are stained, you may need a 4th coat.

Glow in the Dark Effect: These definitely glow brightly, after I put them under the light. The glow doesn't last long,but it is a cool effect. When I photographed the bottles by themselves the glow color did someone coordinate to the color in the bottle not glowing. When I added my fingers to the pictures my camera went funky and all the glow colors looked relatively similar. In person I noticed a difference which did not pick up on camera well for me.

Formula: These formulas are thick, but workable. I found 5 out of the 7 polishes to be easy to decent to work with. These were not the perfect formula, but they were decent to good. I'm the most impatient with formulas and these didn't bother me. The blue-Get Down Tonight and neon yellow-It's Electric had the trickiest formula.. These two were clumpy, patchy, and pooled really thick on certain spots on my nail. I think you maybe able to remedy this with some nail polish thinner, but these 2 formulas wise were a pain in the butt.

Price: I purchased these for $3.50 each on Head2ToeBeauty.

Overall: I am so excited and impressed with this collection. I love that this offers something totally different in the mainstream market. I'm over the moon these are opaque too, and I really love the soft look of these colors. They're not perfect though. The formulas are not ideal, but far from bad or not manageable outside of 2 colors. You can absolutely layer these too, and I'm sure they'd look beautiful. I just really wanted to be able to wear these on their own! This is the type of collection that makes me get excited about nail polish all over again.
