This is a neon orange polish with a creme/jelly hybrid type of formula. The color is indeed, as it is officially described, "blazing," a full-on neon with all the intensity and fluorescence you could ask for. It far outstrips anything I could find in the pantheon of oranges in terms of brightness, but quite a few reviewers have likened it to a traffic cone, or safety orange. In terms of red/yellow balance, I'd say it leans slightly to the former, but only just enough to make it juicy. Interestingly, it shows aspirations to coral under incandescent light.
Application was great! The consistency of Please Don't Glow Girl is fluid, light and smooth with a thin-to-medium viscosity and a fluent, even, self-leveling slip over the nail, an excellent formula that is a joy to work with and went on best for me from a moderately loaded brush. Pigmentation is very good, delivering evenly opaque coverage in two to three coats depending upon how you paint. I used three for the photos to ensure I didn't have any darkness around the nail line, and would probably opt for three even if I weren't taking pictures of it, but your mileage may vary. Cleanup is straightforward. There's a tiny bit of pigment travel and a skosh of residual staining but mostly its just not enough to really notice. Please Don't Glow Girl dries naturally in very good time to a smooth, fairly shiny finish, unusual for a neon.
