Collection 2000 have recently re-branded themselves as simply "Collection"
but that will take a while to be fully instated and if they keep releasing new shades with
the old branding it will take even longer!
Anyway there is a few new shades in the Hot Looks line for the summer season all of which are bright and
attention seeking, I bought five shades which you can see below with a brief colour description of each.
55 Bright Lights - This is a reddened coral shade that is intense and dries slightly more orange tinged
than it appears in the bottle. Bright Lights requires two coats to be come opaque and settles to a crème
finish. A really pretty shade that will sizzle with a tan.
56 Electric Dreams - What would summer be without a few turquoise shades in your stash? Boring that's what! Electric Dreams is a slightly deeper blue base turquoise than most turquoise polishes I own but none the less it is a lovely shade that only required one coat for full coverage and again a crème formula.
I can imagine I will more than likely use this as a toe nail shade.
57 Neon Art - I'm a little disappointed in this shade, with a name like Neon Art I'd expect the colour contained inside to be blindingly bright and most certainly neon but instead this polish is more of a crème raspberry pink than it is neon...shame really!
This shade require three coats to become opaque and the first coat was a little streaky.
58 Go Retro! - This is my favourite of the bunch, a lovely vivid purple that is deep yet vibrant.
As with all the shades in the range this is a crème formula but sadly it did require three coats to become fully opaque and can be a little streaky on the first few coats but a show stopping colour none the less.
59 Look at Me - An acid green that is equally as yellow as it is green. I don't really favour this type of shade as it doesn't work with my skin tone but on deeper tones it will be quite magical. I may try this one once I return from my holiday and have a tan but we shall see.
Again a crème formula and two coats for the full nail coverage.
I really like the size (8ml) and generally the formula - it can be a little hit and miss,
of the Hot Looks polishes by Collection (2000). They are a great size for travelling or trying out a shade
that you wouldn't normally, not to mention they are a snip at £1.69 each.
You can purchase Collection (2000) Hot Looks polishes at most Collection (2000) retailers such as
Superdrug and Boots stores but some also check out chemist stores and your local supermarket.
I really want that blue, I dont think I like them changing there name xx
ReplyDeleteI agree if it aint broke don't fix it!
DeleteLook at me looks like a great dupe for 'OPI - did it on em' from the Nicky Minaj collection! I've been searching for a dupe for ages!

Oh great call :)
DeleteOooh! I think Bright Lights, Electric Dreams and Neon Art are really nice for summer :D
ReplyDeleteYou are very right :)
DeleteThey look lovely
ReplyDeleteI've had mixed with this range too, some have been really awful. Electric Dreams is a beautiful colour though! xxx
ReplyDeleteYeah some can be a tad iffy, it's so pretty a great summer shade :)
Deletemy mum in law bought me the pink one (neon art) and i really dont like it :/
ReplyDeleteit doesnt look anything like yr pictures on my nails, it looks ok in the bottle but on my nails its soo bright so i dont ever wear it! xx
Ah that sucks! Sadly mine is not all that bright...dunno what is going on there is truthfulness!
Deletecollection 2000 are so cheap but yet such a good brand, most of their makeup and nail varnishes are really great quality. Love the colours btw:)
ReplyDeleteYou have summed it up beautifully :) ah thank you :)
DeleteLove all those colours!
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteBright Lights and Look at Me look awesome! I've no idea why they rebranded...they should have expected it wouldn't stick, even if they did think it would freshen their image. Definitely not helped by old branding!
ReplyDeleteI really couldn't agree more, surely some new funky packaging would have been suffice I don't think dropping the 2000 was necessary. Haha yes why rebrand but still use the old bottles...uber confusing!
DeleteI really like Neon Art! All of the colours look amazing though!
ReplyDeleteI love Electric Dreams - you've made me want to buy it now! Enabler!

Haha sorry ;)
DeleteI've had some great colours from this range, and also some that have been awful and chipped really fast. Good job they're only £1.69! Go Retro is the prettiest of this bunch.

I hope they sort out the formula as you said when it's good it's great but when it's poor when frankly it's not worth applying.
Deletegreat colors& perfect for summer
ReplyDeleteI've never tried Collection polishes! They look great though :) xo
ReplyDeleteHow easy do they chip? xxx
