Hello out there in nail polish land! Happy May 1st! This year is just flying by and with summer on our heels you know there are going to be a ton of neon polishes coming out! I've already shared a few collections and tonight I have an awesome 10-piece indie set to share with you. Liquid Sky Lacquer created these fabulous creamy (crelly) neons that truly leave your eyes feeling a bit blinded by their brightness. The Cabo Cabana Collection will be available tomorrow at 2pm PST. You can pick up the whole set for $95 or individually for $9.50 each (don't quote me on that price). So let's stop the gab and start the oogling. Oh, first put on your sunglasses.

Ok, there are alot of polishes to get through so I will try to not be wordy. Up first is SPF Neon. This is a neon red-coral creme/crelly that will surely make your eyes and camera go bonkers. I can't tell if these are creme or crelly because most are opaque, but they are squishy and shiny like a crelly. Formula and application were both fabulous. I used 3 coats and no topcoat.

Meet 'Cha at the Pink Kitty is a beautiful neon pink. It's the lighter of the 2 pinks, but not less bright by any means. This one actually makes me laugh because there is a strip club here called The Pink Poodle. Again, great formula and application. I used 3 coats and no topcoat.

That's HOT! is the other pink in the collection. It's a deeper pink, maybe more magenta. It reminds me of the 80's. This one (ok all of them actually) is going to be fabulous for beach bound toes! Awesome formula, creamy and opaque. Applied perfectly in 3 coats. No topcoat.

Pass The Salsa is probably my favorite in the whole collection. We've got a super bright neon orange (that reads way more red in my direct sunlight pictures) that makes me yearn for the summer heat, sprinklers and an otterpop. This one truly is WOW. If you love orange then this is totally for you. Fabulous formula and application. 3 coats for full coverage and no topcoat.

Moving along! Here's CAUTION: Party In Progress, a neon highlighter yellow polish. This was the only one that gave me a little trouble. I had to use 4 coats here to get nice leveling as it was a bit patchy. And there was still some visible nail line after the 4 coats. But this color is so cool it wouldn't keep me from wearing it again! No topcoat used.

Who loves green? I do! Jalapeno Business is a great neon lime green. The formula and application were wonderful. The formula was creamy, no chalkiness, and it dries glossy. There was a little visible nail line after 3 coats but if you wanted to do a 4th coat it would likely be unnoticeable. N o topcoat.

Cabo Wabo is much more lovely in real life. I don't know what it is but teal really hates me and I can never photograph it well to show the true color. This is a really pretty shade that reminds me of tropical water. The formula was nice and creamy. It applied smoothly and covered well in 3 easy coats. There was still a bit of VNL so slap on a 4th coat to cover that up if it bothers you.

Ready for a stunning blue? Here's Private Charter, a bright cobalt-ish blue. This one had more of a jelly formula. I enjoy that this one is very bright, but not a neon that you'd expect. The formula and application were great. Nice smooth formula with a glossy finish. I used 3 coats and no topcoat.

Heehee at this name. No Strippers, Please is a perfect purple berry shade. It's a totally wearable color for everyone and if you are wondering which would flatter you the most I'd say it's a safe bet. The formula and application were both just like the others in the collection - superb. Some creme/crelly hybrid that is smooth and opaque and glossy. I used 3 coats and no topcoat for my pictures.

And bringing up the rear is The Passion Club. What a beautiful deep purple! This one actually screams Prince to me. Doesn't it look like his shade? I loved this one much like I loved Private Charter, bright enough to hang with the neons but not in your face like the others. Lovely formula and application. I used 3 coats and no topcoat.
