Serum No. 5 Pink Lantern Swatch and Review



Serum No. 5 is a brand well known for amazing glow in the dark polishes, and this limited edition stunner is no exception. Pink Lantern is a special release for October, and with just over a week left in the month, there's no time to hesitate if it tickles your fancy.

Pink Lantern is a bright Barbie pink creme with a bonus orange glow in the dark effect. This polish is meant both as a representation of Breast Cancer Awareness Month (with its pink hue) and Halloween (with its glow).

It has a great formula -- not too thick and not too thin! I used three coats for full coverage here, and it applied evenly and smoothly. It does dry slightly matte with a tiny bit of grit to it due to the glow pigment, but one coat of topcoat evens everything out no problem.



The glow is super bright. I charged it up a bit while I was brushing my teeth before bed, and when I woke up in the middle of the night two hours later, I could still see it glowing. Of course the room was pitch black, but that's pretty legit if you ask me!


Here is a little preview video/mini-swatch I posted to Instgram a couple of weeks ago!


I told Victoria from Serum that she needs to drop everything and focus on a core line of glow in the dark cremes. I think she would just KILL with those!

Again, this is a LE product for October, so head over to the Serum No. 5 shop to pick it up if you like it. You can also keep up with the brand on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
