neon nail polish Archives - Noire Tropical Beauty

The nail polish collection that I look forward to most of all every year. The Cirque Colors Vice 2020 Collection. An annual collection of shocking neon shades. Seriously, I say this every year, but Cirque makes the best neon polishes that I have tried. The colours are legit! When it is summer time or I am in the Caribbean, I love wearing super bright shades, they look amazing against dark skin!

Cirque Colors Vice 2020 Collection – What to know

Before I get to the swatches here are a few things to note:

Limited Edition
Big 10 Free
Vegan & Cruelty Free
Woman owned, small business
No need to wear a white base coat – colour stays vibrant and true
Neon shades dry down to a plastic finish – not matte but not shiny – I highly recommend using a shiny top coat
Shades are blacklight/UV reactive – they glow!!!

Collection is a mix of brand new and repromoted shades

I bought all of these polishes. For the most part, they all applied easily and smoothly, with full opacity in 2 coats. Cirque uses a standard nail polish brush (not the wide style).

Now to the swatches!

Cirque Colors Vice 2020 Thirsty — Thirsty – brand new. A neon minty green creme. Surprisingly beautiful colour, bright and not pastel or chalky. Looks great on dark skin.

Cirque Colors Vice 2020 Euphoria — Euphoria – brand new. A gorgeous neon lilac creme. First shade that I knew that I had to get. I love purples and I love shades like this!

Cirque Colors Vice 2020 Superfreak — Superfreak – brand new. The brightest, neon orange. Literally, traffic cone orange. If you bought the previously released shade, Game Over, that is definitely more of a red-orange and Superfreak is an unmistakable orange.

Cirque Colors Vice 2020 Retail Therapy — Retail Therapy – repromote. They released this in 2018 and I bought it then. A bright neon fuschia pink. I am not crazy about pink polishes except if they are rich, and not bubble gummy.

Cirque Colors Vice 2020 Hedonist — Hedonist – repromote. Again released with the Vice 2018 collection, and I also bought it then. A true, true primary yellow neon shade. Reads a little on the cool side, and it looks brilliant against dark skin.

There are two other shades that I did not purchase. They didn’t really call to me, but let me know if you bought them. They are:

Cyber – neon grass green (use dark skin Cirque image)

I love this collection, as usual. Shades from the Vice 2020 collection cost US$12.50 each and are available from the Cirque Colors website for a limited time.

My prayers have been answered! Cirque Colors has brought out a neon nail polish collection for Summer 2018! Cirque Colors Vice 2018 is limited edition and will be gone by mid September. I posted a picture of one of my favourite pick ups for 2017 and I was able to expand on my collection. Neon colours are notoriously hard to get right. They either are not bright enough, or they have a chalky texture or they lose their intensity really quickly.

Cirque Colors Vice 2018 collection has some of the best neons that I have ever tried. Seriously, go check them out! I have been rocking these as often as I could. I love them! A few notes on this particular formula:

Cirque Colors Vice 2018 Tips

They don’t need a white base coat. Full opacity in 2 coats and what you see in the bottle is what you get!
They dry down to a plasticized/semi-matte finish. Must use a glossy top coat to maintain the brilliance of the colour.
These are blacklight reactive! They glow!!

I picked up four of the six shades. Here are some pictures and a video that I did on this collection.
