Piggy Polish [official website] is also a new brand to me - they market their polish mainly for pedicures, but their website says you can also wear it for manicures. I'm not about to show you my feet, so I used it as a manicure. ^_^
I used Seche Natural as my base, just one coat of Pink for Yourself! and a top coat of Seche Vite. I was impressed by the pigment and smoothness of the formula. This isn't a neon pink, but a deeper "Barbie" pink. It is definitely a creme though - no shimmer to it. It reminded me of a China Glaze color but I didn't take a comparison. As you can tell a bit in my picture, we were in for a LOT of rain.
All bottles come with a tiny toe ring made from beads with a little foam flower on it - totally cute! It's definitely a toe ring but if you had tiny hands (I don't) it may fit on your thumb or pinkie. Very cute!
Piggy Polish can be purchased through their website [official website] for $6 or at retailers. You can check their website for the closest retailer to your location.

My nail polish collection is now featured in this book "Anthology: A Collection of Collections" by San Antonio artist, Brittany Gates. I'm going to buy my own copy soon and if I can get up there to see the exhibit next month, I'll be sure to take pictures. I'm excited to be published for my obsession!
The book is available for purchase on Blurb [official website].
Are you seeing double? Sure looks like it. As soon as I put on Color Club "Mrs. Robinson" I was thinking "Hey, I have this color." Introducing China Glaze Purple Panic from the INK collection - a purple neon...
I used Seche Natural for my base, and 2 coats of each polish to stay consistent. I did not use a top coat to keep the matte look of the neon polish.
Oddly enough, on the nail, you can actually tell this is two different colors, but just slightly. Mrs. Robinson has a darker purple hue to it and slight more red, where Purple Panic is lighter with more blue in it. I showed a friend my hand, and he instantly knew they were different colors, so while these are totally related, they aren't complete duplicates.

Color Club Mrs. Robinson was from their Poptastic collection, and was a purple neon that reminded me of something else, but I'll leave that to another post. I've been kind of hit or miss with my Color Club colors, but I figured that overall, I've been happy with the pigmentation most of all and the formulas have worked for me in the end (with some clean up).
I used Seche Natural for my base, and 2 coats of Mrs. Robinson. I let it dry matte, and didn't add a top coat (gasp!) to show off the neon of this purple.
Pretty simple. My shade picture played tricks with the camera, as you can see below:
Talk about a nice color for summer. ^_^

I received this CND effect to review and I was pretty excited to check out how this would work. In the bottle, it almost looked like flakies, which is my new obsession. I used a base coat of Seche Natural, one coat of CND colour Blackjack as my colour and topped it with Gold Sparkle.
As you can see in the sun, Gold Sparkle was almost a flakie, but not quite. It reminded me more of sugar crystals - but it really lightened up the black, which I enjoyed. I'm still scared of full black nail polish - reminds me of those goth days.
It's a little harder to see in the shade, but this almost reminded me of China Glaze Fortune Teller (but with gold instead of orange). In just one coat, the Gold Sparkle completely covered the nail - not making the nail opaque, but giving great, even coverage. I'm excited to try this color over other colors (colours) as well.
CND is available for $9 per colour, and $11 per effect and you can find locations to buy here. TransDesign and Head2ToeBeauty has the colours for $4.50 and effects for $5.50.50.
