Hi Amber,
As mentioned in the description, this polish is an "almost neon"—true neon shades can't be accurately displayed on digital screens, which is why the colour in your photo appears similar to our images.
Gel polish is naturally thicker than regular polish, so make sure you're wiping off any excess product in the neck of the bottle. To help prevent patchiness, we recommend applying very thin coats and building the colour up gradually.
