Remember way back when I started this blog and told you I had a third Vicky’s polish to show you? Yeah, I totally forgot about it – sorry! I swatched Flash… and then got really excited about new polish releases, which means that it got a little lost in the shuffle. Woops!
Anyways, better late than never, right? Right. Flash is a soft, shimmering light pink.
I used two coats of Flash, plus base and top coat. My middle nail is finally growing out (darn breaks), but I swatched this almost right after I chipped it.

The pros:
- As with the other VS Nail Pop lacquers, the formula was smooth and easy to control.
- This is a very feminine, pretty shade of pink (perfect for an Easter mani!). I was worried that the shimmer would make Flash frosty, but it actually just lends a subtle sparkle to the polish.
- The shimmer in this shows up nicely considering that the formula is a cream.
The cons:
- I don’t look at this polish and see “flash,” so I don’t feel it’s very appropriately named. Not that the name is much of a con, I’m just nitpicking.
- The delicate, light pink shade turns a little nude against my skin tone in low lighting.
I like Flash more than I expected! I don’t usually reach for pale, soft pink polishes but I think that Flash will be a nice color to wear to work or when I’m feeling uber-girly. As with the other VS Nail Pop lacquers that I swatched, Flash was a gift (thanks Mom!) and I’ve been unable to find it online. Consequently, I’m not sure how much a bottle costs; I can’t imagine that it’s outside the typical $7-9 polish range though.
What do you think of Flash or other Victoria’s Secret Nail Pop lacquers? Purchase or pass? Do you have any dupes for Flash?
