Revlon Nail Art Neon High Voltage Swatch & Review

I saw this at my local Harmon and I was intrigued by them.  I picked this up for $6.29 but was able to use my sister's employee discount, yay!  Anyways, onto the polish..



I choose the one that stood out to me, the bright sunny orange, High Voltage.  Each bottle has two bottles, similar to the French Mix ones that I blogged about previously.  See below;


They look like this.  These are a bit pricey considering the label says you get only .26 fl oz of polish.

You're supposed paint your nails with the white.  Layering any neon polish over white makes it really POP and brings out the neon a lot better.  So that's the implied method of polishing here.  I used two coats of the white over Orly Bonder and then I used 3 thin coats of High Voltage and sealed with the Pro-FX top coat (available at Walmart in a big 2 fl oz bottle for like $5 or $6).

The orange needed 3 coats, it was streaky without it.  But this color is super bright, its really florescent looking and made my hands so tan looking too!  The white polish was decent, too.  I'd recommend 2 coats, but to wait until the first coat is really dry so you don't get streaks.

  1. :D I love the way High Voltage looks! That reminds me a lot of Essie Action, which I've wanted for a while but won't actually buy because... I don't think I'd actually ever wear it :X

  2. I realized I didn't have many oranges OR neons, so this was a must have! I think you should get the Essie, you might be surprised!
