(Full Size) Price: $8 * Buy At: Ulta * Size: 0.6 fl oz The Orly Nail Lacquer in Glowstick is a neon safety yellow color with a semi matte finish. This color is intensely bright and I am in love with it! Glowstick has a nice formula that is easy to apply, but, it's not very opaque and took four coats over bare nails and three coats over a white base (which I did on my middle fingernail). I don't mind having to use four coats because the polish dries quite quickly and isn't thick on the nails. XOX ♥
Price: $9 * Buy At: Zoya's Website * Size: 0.5 fl oz The Zoya Nail Lacquer in Robyn is a bright mid tone blue with a bit of a green tint. I thought that Robyn would be similar to Essie In The Cab-ana, but In The Cab-ana is lighter and is more green. Robyn has a great formula that is thin, but highly pigmented. It only required two coats to be fully opaque and gives the nails a smooth and shiny look. XOX ♥
Price: $9 * Buy At: Zoya's Website * Size: 0.5 fl oz The Zoya Nail Lacquer in Zuza is a shimmery blue green. Zuza's formula is perfect and super easy to work with, like most Zoya polishes are. Zuza was pretty opaque in one coat, but I used two coats in the swatches just to be sure. Zuza is quite self leveling and has a smooth appearance on the nails. It also had a fairly quick dry time.

Price: $3.99 * Buy At: Rite Aid * Size: 0.35 fl oz / 10 ml The Julie G Nail Color in 9 to 5 is a neon peach with a matte finish. The matte finish allows the polish to dry quickly, which is always a plus. Other than drying fast, there wasn't anything good about the formula. I used four coats of 9 to 5 in the swatches, and I still don't think it looks all that great. I also found that the color really highlighted all the issues with my nails, especially on my index and middle fingernail. I left 9 to 5 with its matte finish on my middle and pinky nail, and applied a top coat on the index and ring finger. XOX ♥
Price: $2.49 * Buy At: Walgreens * Size: 0.4 fl oz / 11.8 ml The Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Nail Color in Floaties is a pastel yellow based pink with a creme finish. Floaties is a part of the Xtreme Wear limited edition Electric Summer collection. Floaties had pretty nice coverage for a pastel polish, you could get away with two coats, but I used three coats of Floaties in the swatch pictures. XOX ♥
Price: $10.50 * Buy At: Sephora * Size: 0.4 fl oz / 12 ml The Formula X for Sephora Nail Color in Indelible is a blue based medium purple with a creme finish. Indelible has a great formula, just like the other Formula X polishes. It's thin, but the polish still easily covers the nails. I used two coats of Indelible in the swatches. XOX ♥
