That being said, it definitely goes on clear and neutralizes odors all day long. I've been a devoted wearer for weeks now and can't come up with any complaints!

BrainyBeautys approved: The matte neon paint pot colors are gorgeously vibrant and the UV topcoat is perfect for every day shine or for the added oomph when hitting the club (blacklight madness!). The loose glitter can get a little messy, but just make sure you allow yourself a little extra time and added workspace and you'll be all set! And if you'd like one of these sweet kits for your very own, you might want to pay VERY close attention to the blog over the next few days! Wink!
