Dior Lime

Spring green is one of my absolute favourite colours, so Dior Lime was an instant lemming the moment I saw it. One of Dior's Spring / Cruise collection colours (along with Dior Mango) from earlier this year, I'm not sure it ever made it to the UK Dior counters, but a lovely polish friend in the US ordered this from Dior Boutique for me :)  I was a little wary of buying, as I do have quite a few colours in this family - for example Illamasqua Smash and Gosh Early Green, but Sheila at Pointless Cafe included a comparison of these two in her review of Dior Lime that totally put my mind at rest.

The colour and formula are wonderful. The finish is ever so slightly jellyish; I used three coats plus Seche Vite quick drying topcoat for this mani.

I added a lovely new yellow and green glitter to this mani after a couple of days - but I'm saving my pictures of that one for a post about the glitter polish itself later this week!

    1. Thank you! Your nails grow so fast I'm sure they'll be long again no time. I always enjoy the variety when I change shape, in fact I'm really craving shorter, squarer nails right now...........
