Color Club Pucci-licious // Barry M Wild Fig // Orly Rinse and Repeat // Color Club Twiggie // Orly Glowstick

Pucci-licious is showing up lighter below but the bottleshot is more colour accurate. It is a bright, almost neon purple cream.

Wild Fig is a bright almost neon shade, not a barbie pink but still bright.

Rinse and Repeat is a bright summer-y blue shade.

Twiggie is showing up much more bleached in the swatch below, it is a bright spring green cream.

Glowstick is again not showing up colour accurate, it is a highlighter yellow, very neon and bright cream.
