Here is yet another untried. I scored this at Ross for 50cents! It goes on very opaque. I did two coats but those with shorter nails could probably get away with one. It applies very nice for a neon. I would describe the colour as "chalk neon green". It has the pastel chalk look to it but is still very bright. It was a dream to apply! Now I want more Cosmetic Arts polishes. I don't see a name on this one. Also, it's big-3 free. I try to only buy that but sometimes I'm not sure. This one says it right on the bottle!

shade: It's a deeper neon in the shade. I actually think it's a great Halloween colour!

 This polish seemed like it was asking for some nail art so I added Pure Ice Crackle "Lightning Strikes" on the pointer fingers. I find it applies super well over a dry topcoat. I didn't add any top coat on top of it.

Then I used my new polish LA Color Craze "Sparkling Diamonds" on my thumbs.

 So, obviously I broke my August no buy with that Julep order but I also bought 7 nail polishes in one day! I only spent $7 and love them all.  I did make myself go through my stash and decide on some more bottles to sell/giveaway though. My plan is to get rid of a bunch because I'd like to keep my stash below 150.

The first three are LA Color Craze from Dollartree at $1 each. I really love this brand, I have 6 or so of them now. From L - R: Radiation, Atomic, Sparkling Diamonds.  Next are more Sinful Color polishes because Walgreens has them for 99cents right now (there is no sale sign but its in the flyer so they do ring up as 99cents not $1.99). From L - R: Mercury Rising, Snow Me White, Daddy's Girl, Call You Later.

"Sparkling Diamonds". I have this on  my thumb up above. It is just a silver version of SH Xtreme Wear "Set the Stage" which I also have. Small silver glitter with big hexagon glitter... I have three different ones like that and love them all!

"Atomic" is similar to "Blue Siren" but without the shimmer. It's also a darker teal. I am the biggest sucker for teal polishes so for $1 I couldn't resist. I will wear this soon!

"Radiation" is a cool jewel toned jade colour. It has a blue green duochrome effect. It has a blue base. I'm really liking this for fall. I had something similar (but more green) which I will be selling.

"Daddy's Girl". I had  been wanting this. I own so many purples but this one is unique! It's a great medium purple shade, jelly finish with pinkish purple sparkle!

 I don't own many reds. I love them but I always think I'll end up with dupes. I already have a few! However, "Mercury Rising" is soo beautiful and totally unique to my collection. It is a brick red with gorgeous red sparkle. Next to it is "Sparkling Diamonds"
