Dance Legend It's Hot Here

I was never really deeply into neons - yes, I did order a bunch of them last year but was not half as taken by them as I am for example by holos or flakies. Maybe part of the issue was that I was always hoping for a red neon and ended up with either a pink or coral one. Mind you, nothing wrong with either but, le sigh…, I WANTED a red neon! I blame here officially their refusal to cooperate in photos, more often than not the pictures led me to believe that I found LE NEON ROUGE! Fastforward to 2014 and Llarowe's launch of Dance Legend Neonic Collection - I could not believe my eyes - there sat It's Hot Here gleaming boldly. While I degrees, it is not a red neon but so far the closest I came to:

I applied three coats of Dance Legend It's Hot Here over Butter London Patent-Gel Base Coat. The formula has a jelly personality pigmentation wise and consistency wise. My guess is that this prevents the usual streak fest during application. The dry time was fast. As expected, the application of a high gloss Top Coat brings the neon really to eye searing level - I used Glisten&Glow HK Girl. The wear was also better than your regular neon. Though after the third day the polish seemed to sort of sink and shades of my ridges appeared. I only had minor tip wear and one chip on an index due to some wiggling with a naughty zipper.

I apologize for having only this one indoor picture of It's Hot Here but this little number was simply impossible to capture in the sun - or put more correctly - the color got so diverted that no amount of editing helped.

Final thoughts: I just love Dance Legend It's Hot Here and had it for four days on my nails. As I type this, it currently is with a friend and I yearn for getting it back to slap it on my nails again!

I look forward to reading your comments - thanks for visiting!!!
