Color Club Pastel Neon collection and NotD



Hello, today I would like to show you a collection from one of my favourite polish brands - Color Club! 

The Pastel Neon set is one of their Spring 2015 collections and contains seven polishes, all with 80's roller disco-themed names. Here they are, without and with flash:

L-R: Under the Blacklight, 'Til the Record Stops, Meet Me at the Rink, Diggin' the Dancing Queen, Feathered Hair Out to There, Hot-Hot-Hot Pants, Disco's Not Dead

Below I am wearing Under the Blacklight which is my favourite from this particular collection - it definitely lives up to its claims to be a pastel neon! It's a lemon sorbet yellow in some lights with a slight hint of neon green in other lights. 

  
Pictured without and with flash. Two coats with Seche Vite top coat.

So far I've tried three of these polishes, and I've found them to be less pigmented than other Color Club polishes of similar colours that I own and love. Some require three coats, whilst others only needed two. 

In the bottle, 'Til the Record Stops looks almost identical to London Calling (which is my favourite ever polish and can be seen here) and I was reeeeally hoping it'd be a dupe. LC is really hard to get hold of as it was part of a limited edition mini set :(
However, on the nails 'Til the Record Stops is quite a bit lighter and nowhere near as pigmented - it needed three coats. To be honest I'd class LC as a pastel neon and TTRC as a straight pastel.

I expected a little more from this collection - they weren't quite up to the high standard of previous Color Club polishes. Whilst being easy and smooth to apply they need thicker coats due to being less pigmented - but this is a common issue with pastels.
With the exception of 'Til the Record Stops they all lean more towards the pastel side than neon, which is a shame as I love my neons, but they are still super pretty :) 

What do you think of this collection? What's your most favourite pastel or neon polish? 

Love, Sarah Nailsfromnothing xx
