Is Cowabunga a limited edition shade?

Yes, Cowabunga is part of the Summer 2025 1980s collection and is a limited edition release.

Is this polish vegan?

Do I need a special base coat?

While any standard base coat works, applying a white base coat underneath will help the neon orange pigment appear significantly brighter.

How should I store this polish to prevent fading?

Store the bottle in a cool, dark environment away from direct sunlight to maintain the vibrancy of the neon pigment.

Troubleshooting

Polish is streaky after the first coat

Neon formulas are naturally sheer; ensure you are not over-brushing and allow the first coat to dry completely before applying the second.

Polish appears dull after drying

Apply a high-shine clear top coat to enhance the depth of the neon orange pigment and add durability.

Polish is too thick to apply smoothly

Add 2-3 drops of professional nail lacquer thinner and roll the bottle between your hands to gently mix without creating air bubbles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best longevity, start by prepping your nails with a gentle buffing and an Orly-approved base coat. When storing, keep the bottle upright in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight, as UV exposure can cause neon pigments to fade over time. Always ensure the cap is tightened firmly to prevent the solvent from evaporating, which can lead to a thickened formula. If the polish begins to thicken over time, use only high-quality, professional-grade nail polish thinner; do not use acetone to thin the polish, as it will break down the formula.
