Ulta3 - Coral Reef

Coral Reef is a dull neon red toned orange. This was sheer but built up after three coats. 

The Ulta3 Greetings From Paradise collection is available now and can be found in a candy cane tube or scattered in the Ulta3 bins at your local Ulta3 Stockist. To see the rest of my swatches of this collection click here. I'll have the second half up tomorrow.

Ulta3 - Atomic Oj

Atomic Oj is a bright yellow toned orange neon. This drys fast if you use thin coats, it also drys matte. I almost got away with three coats but used four to cover the visible nail line. This had a nice formula.

I think Atomic Oj is the only real new colour from this collection, I don't own any ulta3 polishes that are similar (I also checked the very handy Ulta3 colour guide over on More Nail Polish). I was able to find dupes or very close matches for the rest.

The Ulta3 Citrus collection will be available in December 2012. To see the rest of my swatches of this collection click here.

Ulta3 - Tangelo Twist

Tangelo Twist is a bright neon orange. This dried matte as most neons do so you'll need top coat. If you use thin coats this drys fairly quickly. I usually have to layer neons over a white base but Tangelo Twist doesn't need it. I thought this looked similar to Ulta3 - Tangelo so I compared them. Tangelo Twist is a much brighter neon orange.

The Ulta3 Citrus collection will be available in December 2012. To see the rest of my swatches of this collection click here.

China Glaze - Escaping Reality

Escaping Reality is a bright neon pink creme. This was pretty opaque for a neon. I usually layer neons over white to help build them up but this one didn't need it. You could probably get away with two coats, I used three because I still had a tiny bit of visible nail line after two.

The formula was a little runny and it easily flooded my cuticles. It died dull as most neons do so you'll need top coat.

Ulta3 - Tangelo

2 coats

Poshe Super-Fast Drying Top coat

Tangelo is from the Summer Siren Collection - 2011. It's a bright orange neon. This one had a bad brush, I've included the photo below. It was easily fixed, I just pulled out the longer strands. The formula is hard to explain, it's a little bit thick but still sheer and watery at the same time.
