Hean nail polish: City Fashion 166 (and a peek at the Neon collection)

I hope everyone else is enjoying this cold weather as much as I am. We got a new couch about 2 weeks ago and it's much bigger than the old one, so its nice to be able to properly snuggle up with a warm body next to you.
So sometimes a nail polish comes your way that just surprises you. Sometimes in a good way, sometimes in a bad way. This is one that surprised me in a good way. This is one (yes, one) coat of City Fashion 166. If you interested just click on the Glamore Cosmetics banner or the link to go directly to their shop.
I'm not a huge fan of nude polishes, but I do occasionally like wearing it. And this is already a favourite.
This is a bit of a busy mani. I think I tried too many things at the same time. But oh well. It was fun and apparently looks like a party under a UV light.
There is a mix of I love Hean 890, 891, 892 and 893 all from the Neon collection. On I middle finger I tried a needle drag, there's random dots and the stripes were a bit of a smoosh using the polishes. So it here it is looking like a party!
My colleagues thought it looked so cool under the UV light that they made me make it my WhatsApp profile pic.
What do you think? These neons are quite neon. And I love that they are UV light activated. It kinda makes them seem rather dull otherwise.
Thanks for stopping by.

Hean Disco Fluo Coat

There's one benefit for me being at work on a weekend, free WiFi... So I was catching up on watching YouTube and one video that I ended up with is Christine from SimplyNailogical's Get Glow Nails. You can watch it here.

Anyway, I was asked to try out this Hean Disco Fluo Coat from Glamore Cosmetics.
Image sourced from the internets.
According to the catalogue this is the description:
This fluorescent UV nail polish has nail whitening properties. In the daylight it restores the shine to discoloured and lifeless nails. In the dark it reflects UV light, providing a fluorescent effect.

So I was such a chop in not taking pictures in daylight with nothing but this, buuuut I always wear polish. So this is the mani I was wearing with this top coat.
I'll share this mani eventually, I promise. I painted one coat on middle finger and made random dots on my other fingers as I wasn't sure how it would look. The UV light picures wasn't taken in my normal setup, it was taken at work with the UV light the use on bank notes. I wish I had Christine's setup. Seriously.
It looks so cool! This would look awesome in a club.
I'd like to try stamping with it and see what it looks like then.

What do you guys think? While searching for a picture for the bottle shot, I didn't find any reviews or such on this... Guess it's not a big thing, but with Christine's video it will become HUGE. Oh anyone wanna send me a proper light box and a UV lamp? I'd love it.

Thanks for reading.
