Philly Loves Lacquer - The Bright Stuff, Baby! Collection [Summer 2016]

Press Sample



     If you follow me on Snapchat (ashley.eileen), you got to see a sneak peek at this collection when I was swatching it. You all know how much I love neons! This collection hits it out of the park for me. It's inspired by 90s boy bands. Esther, the brains behind PhLL, actually had a naming contest in the Philly Loves Lacquer Collective Facebook group. My name for the yellow one won! 

     Keep on reading for all the details!

Accent Nail

     If you were wondering about the accent nail, here it is. I used a white base for this nail only and then added spot of each color from the collection until it covered my nail. Anyone can do this look! I just used the brush from the bottle. I topped it off with Seche Vite to smooth it over. This would also make a great base for stamping!








This collection was a breeze to work with. All the shades only needed two coats except for the two noted above. If you let them drive longer between coats, two would have been fine. I'm a bit impatient at times. The application was nice and creamy without any pooling at the cuticle. As with nearly all neons, these dry to a matte finish. You'll want a good top coat to make them shiny. 

If you were wondering, they water marble! I'm not too good at it so I didn't attempt it, but you can see examples on the PhLL store. 

My top picks are This Lime Around and Hip Hop Marmalade. I really like Pinking of You, but I'm not an NSync fan. This girl is a BSB fan for life. 

The Bright Stuff, Baby! Collection is currently available in both full size 15mL bottles for $12 or mini size 8mL bottles for $6, or you can purchase the entire collection at a discount. Full size for $65 or minis for $32.50.
