Whenever I think of ‘neon’, highlighter pinks and yellows usually spring to mind first.
But China Glaze Highlight of My Summer from the creme half of the Sunsational Collection has me rethinking how I define ‘neon’.
When I first looked at the bottle, China Glaze Highlight of My Summer just looked like a fun minty green. But the second I started painting my nails with it, it took on a life of its own.
It popped so much against my skin tone (even in dim light and in the shade) that it must be a neon. I’ve worn other mint greens, but I can’t think of many that were quite this bright on me.
I was torn when writing this post whether or not to call it a neon, but I decided that I can’t just call it bright. On me, it became a neon. Maybe if your skin tone is different, it might not pop as much (or may pop more). All I know is that, even though it wasn’t a lime green (which is what companies typically put out for a neon green), it still seemed to ‘glow’. (It was much brighter on me in person than what I could capture in my photos.)
P.S. As of this review, I’ve now finished reviewing all 6 shades in the creme half of the Sunsational Collection. Stay tuned because I will also be reviewing the 6 jellies in the other half soon!
