What I'd like to share with you today is an oldy but goody from China glaze: Flying Dragon. this colours is a little controverted because as far as I know there are two versions of it, one is the "neon" version and it's the one I own.

This is a pretty fantastic shade a magenta-purple with blue and pink glitter dust. The particularity of this polish is it dries to a matte finish, that makes the shade look dusty indeed (I was going to say "dull" but thought it was so negative, it's not that bad). BUT when you apply a topcoat: boom! there's why they call it "neon". I don't see it neon, still quite bright, I like it much better with topcoat. So much better that : I forgot to photograph it without topcoat! So you have to take my word on its looks until I wear it again and update this post with a proper topcoat-less picture.


The pictures show two coats of Flying dragon with one coat of Mavadry. The formula on this one is good, nice to apply. It applies like a jelly at first, but it dries pretty fast to a matte finish. You need two coats to reach opacity.
Do you own this shade? how do you like it better, with or without topcoat? (for those who own it)
Love,
Nati
