Lime Crime Crema De Limon plus a little glitter!
I've wanted to try Lime Crime polishes for the longest time and Ange and Anita very kindly picked me up a bottle when they went to IMATS a few weeks back!! I love yellow and they gifted me the cute Crema De Limon and I have some quick swatches for you today.
Crema De Limon is a pale yellow pastel creme. Application wasn't as good as I hoped but I think I rushed when applying it so I had to use 3 coats for opacity. The brush is great to use and it dries quickly to a glossy finish. During the warmer months I can't get enough of yellow so I'm going to be wearing this a lot!
I decided to add some glitter to spice things up a bit! I used 2 coats of Sephora by OPI Only Gold For Me Top Coat.
Thank you so much for my 1st Lime Crime polish ladies!! You can check out Anita's haul and Ange's haul videos to see what else they bought! Thanks for looking as always =)

Essence Me & My Ice Cream polishes swatches and review
Hello ladies! Today I have some quick swatches of 3 of the polishes from the essence Me & My Ice Cream collection which was released recently. I am a HUGE sucker for the trend edition Essence polishes!! There are 4 polishes in the collection but I only managed to pick up 3 unfortunately. I went to every single Priceline I could to find Icylicious but no luck doh!
What they say:
"I scream: ice cream! essence invites you to make a quick stop at an ice cream cart in October and November 2013 with the trend edition “me & my ice cream”. Soft sorbet shades like beige, vanilla, apricot, pink, lavender and mint as well as awesome products in a cool retro look will melt your heart.. Strawberry, sweet woodruff, blueberry or apricot? The longlasting nail polishes in gorgeous pastel shades like pink, mint, lavender and apricot are sure to put you in the mood for ice cream – and summery nails, of course! "
Ben & Cherries is a gorgeous pastel pinky peach creme with very subtle shimmer through it. Very girly and sweet but it makes me have lobster hands!! Plus how darn cute is the name??! Now I feel like some Ben & Jerry's LOL. 3 coats is pictured.
Always in my Mint is a cute pastel mint creme with subtle shimmer through it too. 3 coats is pictured.
Ice Ice Baby is a soft pastel lavender creme with subtle shimmer through it. 3 coats is pictured.
Overall: There is nothing quite like a collection based on one of my favourite food groups!! I absolutely love these cute shades but that's about all that was really positive about the essence Me & My Ice Cream collection unfortunately. Application wasn't great and they were pretty streaky and it took 3 coats for opacity. The shimmer is really subtle and doesn't show up on the nail sadly.
Details: The essence Me & My Ice Cream collection are available from Priceline for $2.95 each.
Thanks for looking as always!! =)

Lynnderella Angel Whisper
Happy Sunday! Today I have my last Lynnderella glitter for you =) Today's glitter is the very pretty Angel Whisper which is from the Mixed Feelings collection.
Angel Whisper contains different sized translucent hex, heart and half moon white glitters in a clear base packed with shimmer.
Angel Whisper applied really well and I think it would be perfect for a white Christmas type of mani. Here
I've used 2 coats over 2 coats of Kester Black Peach Melba. Peach isn't really the best shade to layer it over to show it to its full potential so I'll probably use it over a dark blue or green next time.
Close up:
Details: Lynnderella polishes can be purchased from Glitter Connect for $24.95 for Aussie ladies (make sure you like the Glitter Connect Facebook page!), Lynnderella.com for US ladies and Norway Nails for European ladies.
You can check out my other Lynnderella swatches here!! Thanks for looking as always!
