Laqa & Co - Bobby Dazzler

 Here is the next of my Laqa&Co reviews... this polish is called Bobby Dazzler and that's a perfect description; it really is a dazzling bright neon. Which makes it the devil to photograph, of course, lol! My camera wants to make it orange, and when I correct the colour of the polish, my skin is weirdly pink. So try to ignore the 'alien skin' in these pictures.

Laqa&Co is a super-bright coral neon - I'd call it an 'Electric Salmon' sort of colour! It is a true neon, and there's something about neon pigments that makes them sort of transparent-ish and dry to a rubbery-matte kind of finish. To make the colours really pop, neons work best over a white (or near white) base. I applied this over Barry M Coconut.

These pictures are two coats of Laqa&Co without topcoat; you can see the rubbery finish. The application was really smooth and easy - a great formula for a neon.

One other thing I need to mention is the bottle, as I found the bottle a bit tricky on the last Laqa & Co polish I reviewed (Lacey). The bottle on Laqa & Co's single, regular polishes is slim and elegant, but not in the least bit difficult to manage.

Here is the polish with topcoat (Seche Vite). I love this - what a fantastic bright shade!

I did have a little experiment with this polish before I did the full review - I did this cling film mani over my existing mani (Pretty Quirky Village Idiot) a couple of weeks ago when my package from Laqa & Co arrived. I applied a thick coat of Laqa&Co Bobby Dazzler, then immediately dabbed it off with a rolled up ball of cling film. Do this just one nail at a time, then apply topcoat. This is a very easy way to create a fab marbly effect!

  1. WHOA! That cling film effect looks fabulous! I'd seen it on other blogs but not really seen the point, but you've made it look so good!

    2. I think I must!

      The effect you've got reminds me of some sort of sweet that I HOPE I'm not imagining. Something with bits of jelly and something milky (maybe milky jelly?) mixed up in bits and then set in one firm shape. Does that ring any bells with anyone else? Haha!

  6. Wow - lovely colour, although im not keen on the rubbery finish so would personally topcoat, but I like that you showed both just for people who are awkward like me :D
