Shades that are shown on the bottom photo are: Orange Blaze, Striking Pink, Red Shock and Electric Blue. All the shades have small shimmer in them which gives a bit more dimension to the nails and some added shine.

These come in their classic square glass bottles with black plastic tops. In each is 10 ml of product and regular price is 5.90€, but they're currently on offer for 3.30€. 

Let me just clarify that these are definitely not neon colored nail polishes. Usually neon nail polishes have a very bright neon color and need to be applied over white base to truly show the vibrant effect of neon color. These are definitely not neon colors, I would call them vibrant shades.

That being said, these can be worn on its own and they look just as vibrant. The shimmer in them makes them a bit more interesting and also gives them colorful sheen that sparkles in the sun.

Shimmer is small, so they're not hard to take off. Because of the shimmer I also find that they last a bit longer than usual gel like nail polishes. Formula is a bit on the transparent side. They remind me of gel nail polishes and you'll definitely need two coats to get full vibrancy of the shade. Even with two coats the formula will still let your nail see through a bit.

They lasted around 3 days on me, which is a good staying power for my nails. I have really weak and chipped nails. 

Striking Pink

Bright fuchsia pink with pink and blue shimmer. It looks like a regular bright pink, but small blue shimmer in it gives it a very cool purple blue sheen. 

Orange Blaze

Bright orange with light orange and pink shimmer. Bigger light orange shimmer looks almost look a bit golden, while small pink shimmer in it gives it a pink sheen. It still looks more golden orange when you apply it on the nails.

Red Shock

Pinkish red with pink and gold shimmer. It's more of a raspberry red shade, which looks a bit pinkish and similar to Striking Pink. But this one is warmer and has a bit of a golden sheen to it and looks more red.

Electric Blue

Bright blue with blue shimmer. It's a truly electric blue shade that has a cool tone to it.

I like the fact that Avon loves to add a spin on regular creme nail polishes. They often use glitter to create a bit of a different look to nail polish. These are definitely wrongly named neon, because are in fact not as bright as a true neon shade. I would say these are vibrant summer inspired nail polish shades. The selection is small and I would definitely add some brighter shades like yellows or greens. Formula is nice and it's fairly long lasting. If you find yourself in this small selection, definitely get some. 

My absolute winner and the most unique nail polish shade has to be Electric Blue. I just adore this vibrant blue shade. Shimmer in it makes it unique and perfect for when you want your nails to stand out. As I've been researching colors in my study time, I can guarantee you, you'll get lots of compliments, because apparently blue is the most loved color among most Europeans. I don't find other three shades as unique, but to each he's own. I always said I'm not a lover of blue and I've recently found four new blue nail polish shades that I just adore.

Če na spomlad takoj pomislimo na pastele, potem so neon odtenki tisti, ki nas spomnijo na poletje. Poletje je polno živahnih odtenkov oblačil, močnega sonca in seveda tudi barvitih nohtov. Sama nisem velika oboževalka neon odtenkov, vendar se tu in tam najdejo tudi na mojih nohtih. Avon je v svojo zbirko dodal linijo štirih novih živih odtenkov. Linija se imenuje Magic Effects Neon.

Odtenki, ki so prikazani na fotografiji so: Orange Blaze, Striking Pink, Red Shock in Electric Blue. Vsi odtenki imajo majhne bleščice, ki dajejo lakom malo več 3D dimenzije in hkrati dodaten sijaj. 

Laki se nahajajo v klasičnih kvadratastih stekleničkah z črnim plastičnim pokrovom. V vsakem je 10 ml izdelka in redna cena je 5.90€. Trenutno jih lahko dobite za 3.30€ (tukaj).

Najprej moram razjasniti, da ti laki vsekakor niso pravi neon laki. Po navadi imajo neon laki zelo živ odtenek barve, ki se večkrat nanaša preko bele podlage, da je neon odtenek res viden. Ti odtenki vsekakor niso neon. Sama bi jih mogoče poimenovala kot barvite žive odtenke. 

Avonovi laki se lahko nosijo sami po sebi, brez kakršne koli podlage. Majhne bleščice v njih jih naredijo bolj zanimive in dodajo barvni podlagi malo barvnega sijaja, ki se še posebej lepo blešči pod sončnimi žarki.

Bleščice so zelo majhne in jih ni težko odstraniti. Zaradi bleščic se mi zdi, da so laki tudi bolj obstojni kot navadni. Formula je rahlo prozorna in me spominja na gel lake. Vsekakor boste potrebovali dva nanosa, da bo lak v celoti enakomerno pokril noht. Tudi po dveh nanosih je noht še vedno rahlo viden. 

Na meni so se laki obdržali okrog 3 dni, kar je zelo dobra doba za moje nohte. Imam namreč zelo slabe in cepljene nohte.

Striking Pink

Živa fuksija z roza in modrimi bleščicami. Izgleda kot navaden živ roza odtenek, ampak majhne modre bleščice mu dajo hladen vijolično moder sijaj.

Orange Blaze

Živo oranžna s svetlo oranžnimi in roza bleščicami. Večje svetlo oranžne bleščice izgledajo skoraj zlate, med tem ko majhne roza, dajejo odtenku roza sijaj. Na nohtih odtenek izgleda bolj zlato oranžen odtenek.

Red Shock

Roza rdeča z roza in zlatimi bleščicami. Je bolj malinasto rdeč odtenek, ki izgleda skoraj bolj roza in podoben Striking Pink. Ta je toplejši in ima zlat sijaj, prav tako pa je sam odtenek bolj rdeč kot roza.

Electric Blue

Živo modra z modrimi bleščicami. Gre za pravi živo moder odtenek s hladnim podtonom.

Všeč mi je, da Avon rad preseneča s svojimi laki. Večkrat ustvari drugačne kolekcije, ki niso tipični kremni finiši. Predvsem rad dodaja bleščice, ki imajo same po sebi zanimiv efekt. Ta kolekcija se po mojem mnenju napačno imenuje neon, ker odtenki vsekakor niso pravi neon odtenki. Gre za bolj žive odtenke lakov, ki so črpali inspiracijo iz poletnih barv. Nabor je majhen in sama bi vsekakor dodala še kakšen živ rumen ali zelen odtenek. Formula je dobra in dokaj obstojna. Če se najdete v naboru odtenkov, vam vsekakor priporočam, da kakšnega preizkusite.

Moj absolutni zmagovalec je Electric Blue. Obožujem ta živ moder odtenek. Bleščice v njem mu dajejo unikatnost in naredijo nohte še bolj opazne in zanimive. V času šolanja sem preučevala barve in se naučila, da bi naj bila modra najbolj pribljubljena barva med Evropejci. S tem odtenkom boste zagotovo navdušili veliko mimoidočih pogledov. Ostali trije odtenki se meni osebno ne zdijo tako posebni. Vedno sem trdila, da nimam rada modre, pa sem v prejšnjem mesecu našla kar štiri modre odtenke lakov, ki jih naravnost obožujem. 

*Izdelki so mi bili poslani.

Clio Kill Black Blush Liner and Salon de Cara mascara

I have been on a search for new eyeliner, since I always want something cheap and good. I've found good reviews about Clio Brush Liner and it's really nice. It has that typical brush tip, very precise and the color is nice black. It's supposedly waterproof, but I don't agree with that, however it doesn't move or transfer. So far I really like it. Mascara that came with it it's like a mini version. As soon as I saw the brush, I saw that it has lots of fibers on it, which I hate. I won't be using it.

Missha Perfect Cover B.B. Cream

I've already reviewed mini version here. The texture is so nice and it looks glowy. What I love the most about it is that it's really light shade and it blends into the skin. I decided to order full size, wich is huge. I'll probably use it more in fall and winter months, since I have a bit of tan now.

Aritaum The Professional Iope Aircushion Puff

I bought two of these, because I wanted to get some new puff for my DIY BB Cushion. I haven't use these yet, but they seem of good quality.

Holika Holika Golden Monkey Glamour Lip 3-step Kit

I bought this, because it looked like a fun lip treatment. I haven't used it yet.

Essence Pure Nude Highlighter

Kathleen Lights on YouTube talked about this highlighter as one of the best she's found in drugstores and of course I was interested, so I bought it. It's actually a bit darker and I could only use it in summer time with some tan. In the pan it looks really dark, but once swatched it's like  peachy champagne base with lovely champagne almost a bit white sheen. There's no visible glitter, just nice sheen. It looks really pretty.

Essence Fan Brush

I wanted a fan brush to use with my highlighters. I don't think it's all that good. First of all the hair is sparse, it could be thicker. I also feel like it just picks up a lot of glitter and makes highlighter go on even more powdery than it is. I have to test it a bit more.

Kiko Radiant Fusion Baked Powder 01 Ivory

Since I saw these on promo photos they immediately reminded me of Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powders. I don't own any of these, so I can't compare. This is a very fine baked powder that is actually really light. I've heard it oxidizes a little, but haven't used it a lot since I got it, so I can't say. I can say that it's very fine and not mattifying.  It sort of gives the skin a very slight luminous look. Basically, it doesn't look flat. The packaging is so luxurious. A bit heavier with magnetic closing.

Kiko Long Lasting Stick 36 Golden Mauve

I already have three of these and when I saw this one on sale, I had to get it. It's pretty mauve purple shade with gold shimmer. I haven't wore it yet, but I hope the golden sheen really pops out. These are very long lasting and creamy.

Kiko Eyebrow Marker 03 Strawberry Blondes and Redheads

I also have this one in shade 02, which is a more taupe medium brown. I wanted something warmer and maybe darker. 03 is a bit red toned medium brown and I am not sure if it suits me. I didn't expected it to be red based. I like this marker, because it really stays put and can look natural, if you don't apply too much of it.

Kiko Creamy Colour Comfort Lip Liner 301 Nude and 304 Wine

These were also called as a Charlotte Tilbury lip pencil dupes. I've swatched them in the store and they were nicely creamy, so I got two shades, which I hope I can wear on it's own as well. 301 Nude is peachy nude with some silver shimmer. 304 Wine is gorgeous warm dark red. It's almost a bit brick like red. 

Kiko Matte Effect Top Coat

I got their matte top coat in their old version. Now they came out with new range of nail polishes and among these was another matte top coat. Since I loved previous one and have been using a lot, I decided to get another one.

Kiko Nail Lacquer 527 Metallic Emerald Green and 530 Pearly Blue Peacock

Apparently they don't have all nail polish shades in physical stores. Of course they didn't have those that I have on my wish list, so instead I got these two, because they were only 1€. 530 is like a turquoise blue with green sheen. 530 looks exactly like peacock feather. It has lot's of shimmer and looks like dark blue with green and gold sheen. Gorgeous!

Zoeva 234 Luxe Smoky Shader and 228 Luxe Crease

I can't go in Douglas without getting at least one of Zoeva eye brushes. They are good quality and have a lot of choices for every part of the eye. I actually already own 234, but decided to get another one, since this is great for applying eyeshadow on the lid. I also got 228, because I wanted something fluffier for the crease. Right now I use 231 Luxe Petite Crease, which is shorter than 228. I hope that I'll be able to apply eyeshadow in a larger area with 228.

Primark PS... Full Look False Eyelashes

Random purchase. I saw these in Primark and they looked fairly nice. I like that they have transparent bands, but I haven't tried them yet.

H&M Pure Radiance Powder Blusher Apricot and Rosy Brown

Ever since I got Brown Sugar, I really wanted to get more shades. They have such a lovely satin finish and have some really nice light shades. I got Apricot, which is lovely light apricot shade. Rosy Brown is brick red with some pinkish blue sheen to it. I am not sure about this one yet, but it looks really nice with red and pink lipsticks. I just adore these and hope to get more shades.

Golden Rose Silky Touch Pearl Eyeshadow 121 and 116

Golden Rose proved to be good inexpensive brand and I wanted to also try some of their eyeshadows. Both of these have really nice pigmentation and staying power. 121 is perfect bronze brown shade with lots of gold sheen to it. I adore this shade. 116 is a really unique browny red with purple sheen. It looks really pretty on the eyes and will be perfect for fall. 

Golden Rose Express Dry Nail Lacquer 14 and 15

I adore both of these shades and have been on a hunt for them for a while. 14 is perfect milky almost pastel yellow shade. 15 is perfect pastel light green. They are more spring colors, but I like them for the summer as well.

Ebelin Precision Make Up Blender

Ebelin added this makeup sponge to their range and it's super soft. I've been using it with every makeup application and I really like it. It blends lovely, but I fear that this can tear, if you're not gentle with it. I already have some micro holes and I don't get why they decided to stick together three different color foams. It's definitely a lot softer than their previous versions.

Maybelline Master Contour V-Shape Duo Stick Contour and Highlight 01 Light

Creamy contour and highlight stick that blends like a dream. You can blend it with sponge or fingers. It's very natural looking. 01 Light has a really light highlight and lovely taupe based brown. I have nothing bad to say about it. Expect that I use more of contour shade and then highlight sticks above and can start to mix with contour. That's the only negative thing about it. It's also not too creamy, which I love.

Batiste Dry Shampoos: Sweetie*, Tropical, Blush, Original and Cherry

It might seem like I have a problem and maybe I do. I just love Batiste shampoos and whenever I can I get a refill. I've just found out that they are finally in my Müller (I mean these scented versions) and I couldn't be happier. Before, I had to order them online. Sweetie I got from Ličila.si, which are also another Slovenian seller of these. Sweeties is like a vanilla fruity scent, Tropical is my favorite because it smells of coconut, Blush is more floral, Original more like a soap and Cherry is more sweet fruity. I adore minis to travel with. Batiste is in my opinion only dry shampoo that actually takes away the greasiness and add some texture as well as volume to my hair.

Btw with code BATISTE15 you can get these shampoos for 15% off on Ličila.si.

Toni & Guy Casual Rough Texturiser

I've had this one for quite a while and review will be coming soon. It's like a hairspray dry shampoo texturising spray that definitely gives you some texture for that bed hair look. I wasn't impressed by the volume of it or the fact that my hair doesn't stay as texturised through the day as I though it would.

Avon Foot Works Intensive Callus and Corn Cream with AHA Acids

After I used up my L'Occitane foot cream, I decided to get this one. So far I really like it. It's thicker gel like cream that feel really butter and is in fact greasy, which I love. It's not one of those creams that instantly soak in. I like my foot cream to form greasy layer on my feet so that my feet get optimal hydration through the night and this one definitely does that. In the morning I still have moisturized feet and dry patches are not visible. It also has lovely mint scent. 

Avon Teasing Comb

I bought it in hopes of putting more effort in my hair styling and making my hair look a bit more volumized. Obviously I haven't been really using it, especially not in this heat. I think this will be more useful in colder months. 

Avon Naturals Hydrating Aloe & Cotton Face Spritz

I thought that this will be fun hydrating mist for the summer for those really hot days. It surprised me that it says on the back that it contains AHA, which can cause skin to be more sun sensitive. I was kind of disappointed by that. I wanted a nice face mist for the beach or on the go, but I kind of don't want to use it for that. I include BHA and AHA acids in my routine, but I always follow with other skin care and sunscreen, so it seems useless to spray this on top of everything else. I now use it as a toner in the morning, which works fine. 

Avon Sun Face Cream SPF 30*

I actually haven't used this, because I have other sunscreens opened and I don't want to open it up, if I'm not gonna be using it. I hear that it's a lovely cream.

Avon Ultra Colour Lip Crayon in Notice Me Nude*

This is a lovely peachy brown shade and it's right up my alley. But it has shimmer in it, which wouldn't bother me, if it didn't stay on the lips as the lipstick wears off. I haven't tried it a lot, so I have to test it a bit more. Otherwise it's a nice creamy lipsticks.

Avon Senses Joyful Tropics Papaya and Peach Shower Gel*

I adore this shower gel. It's probably going to be in my July Favorites. It has a really nice tropical sweet smell. Texture is more of a creamy and it doesn't feel drying, at least not in those summer months. 

Avon Shine Burst Sticks*

I already reviewed these here. These are lip gloss and lipstick hybrid and look really glossy on the lips. I find them fun for summer and I really like comfortable formula. 

Avon Magic Effects Neon Nail Polishes (Orange Blaze, Red Shock, Electric Blue, Striking Pink)*

These are almost like gel formulas with lots of small glitter that reflect light and can add sheen to base color. They need at least two coats. I also wouldn't say they are true neon, because they're more like a brighter shades. Electric Blue is my absolute favorite. It looks gorgeous on the nails.

Avon Liquid Chrome Eyeliners (Plum Dazzle, Shimmering Silver, Shimmering Amber, Bronze, Electric Blue, Shiny Black)*

Colorful metallic eyeliners with foam applicators. They all have some sort of shimmer in it. Black looks the most matte, but also has a bit of silver shimmer in it. They need to be build up, but they stay put nicely. I adore Shimmering Amber and Bronze. I also really like Electric Blue and Shiny Black. 

Avon Naturals Escape Coconut and Starfruit Shower Gel*

I haven't tried it yet. It seems like a gel formula and it smells tropical. I was disappointed, because I don't detect and coconut smell, it's more tropical and fruity.

Avon Advance Techniques Sun-Light Spray Summer Hair Beautifying Hair Protector*

It contains UV filters and it will be great for the beach or to take on the pool. I only tried it once. It seems like a nice spray. It doesn't feel too drying or sticky, but I have to try it out more. I love the smell of it. It has that kind of sunscreen but also hair salon scent. 

Avon Nutra Effects Miracle Glow Lightweight Facial Oil*

Transparent thinner facial oil that feel like a dry oil. I've tried it a few times and I like that it soaks into the skin quickly and it's not too greasy. I think this is perfect for summer. It has lovely almost a bit fruity fresh smell. 

Avon True Colour Eyeshadow Quad - Rose Awakening and Sun Washed Blooms*

New Avon quads that they've recently added to their range. Rose Awakening is more on the coral red side and I it's not my favorite shades, but Sun Washed Blooms is really nice. I love mint green and purple matte shades. I find that matte shades have better pigmentation than some of their old quads.

Avon Camilla Rings*

I also got sent these Camilla rings, which are supposedly universal size. Yes, to an extend. Your fingers have to be as least as wide as these rings. Then they'll fit you. Or if you're fingers are thicker than these rings, you can actually pull them a bit further appart and they'll still fit you. My problem is that the rings are too big for my fingers, which is a real shame. I like the colored rhinestone look with gold base. 

Giveaway Prize

This is a giveaway price that I got from Sandra from Keep Calm and Wear Lipstick. She got me lots of amazing products. I was most excited to see Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Or dry oil with golden shimmer. Since it's summer, I have already been using it a lot. It gives such a nice shine to the body and makes it smell lovely. I won't talk about all other products since you can see them on my photos, but there's a lot of fun products that I can't wait to try. Some will be more in use in fall and winter time.

*Products were sent to me.

Some have said to me that Nailwear Pro+ is supposedly Avon's best nail polish line. I guess it's because they have nice creamy formula that isn't too thick, but is also not thin. 

One coat covers well, but I always apply two coats for perfect opaque looking nails.

Nail polish has a regular straight cut brush that performs well. 

It has an average drying time and I find that it was quite long lasting. As I've said many times, my nails are weak, always chipped and nail polishes don't usually stay on my nails for longer than 2 to 3 days. 

Shade Minty is the perfect mint shade in my opinion. It looks blue on my photos, because my camera plays me. In real life it's actually a bit greenish. I find it the perfect combination of pastel green and pastel blue, which to me is perfect mint shade.

Nice creamy opaque formula of this nail polish combined with perfect green blue pastel mint shade makes this one of my favorite nail polish shades. If you love pastels or mint colors, you'll love it.
