Allo polish Pals!
How are you doing today? I hope your
week has been fabulous so far? I've been enjoying my time in England
so far. Last time I saw my nephew he was a new born baby and now he
is crawling around all over the place and giving me beautiful smiles
and giggles. I've also done a couple work outs using my exercise ball
(Oh how I missed that!) and of course spending time with Mr Bravo and
my family. I've also been eating all the foods I miss (tons of
vegetables from my dads garden!) and enjoyed taking my dog Charlie on
dog walks again. Enough about me! Today I am showing you a
swatch and review of Catrice's 'Lime Heart Beating Like A Jungle Drum'.
Colour ~ 'Lime Heart Beating
Like A Jungle Drum' (Lets call it LHBLAJD...That looks as if I've just hit my head on the keyboard repeatedly..) is a
beautiful bright yellow with a hint of lime; I would say this is
certainly more on the yellow side. I actually did think this was just
yellow when I picked it out in the store – probably their lighting.
Application ~ Wonderful!! Seriously, I was applying LHBLAJD back in Holland at super speed so I could have pictures ready for my vacation and despite the rushing application I endured zero bubbles. It is amazingly self leveling which means I had a beautiful and flawless finish. The dry time is also above average I'd say.
Texture ~ I would have to
say the texture of LHBLAD is pretty equal in terms of thickness or
how watery it is. I'm describing it as a crème but I'm not 100% sure
– either way the texture gave me no problems and the end result was
an incredibly smooth and perfect finish.
★★★★★/5 Another polish worth awarding five stars! Let me explain why... application was entirely fool proof even though I was layering on the coats without allowing ample dry time. You can see the end result told a different story. Also I think that if your like me and struggle to buy yellows (I just find it hard, I'll end up with neon or pastel and be stuck) then the touch of lime to this polish really makes it quite unique.

What do you guys think of this
yellow-lime polish? What's your opinion on yellow nail polish? ~
*Just another little thing... If anyone would be interested in
teaming up with me for a manicure swap don't hesitate to ask!
Have a great day!

DeleteOh how awesome! Thanks a lot for your review, I often have doubts about yellow polishes as they can be tricky or steaky but if I find Lime Heart Beating I'll definitely pick it up now after reading you review! :)
ReplyDeleteOh thank you for thanking me, Robin! :D I am doubtful too with yellows, I can tell you there are no issues with streaks AT ALL with this polish, great huh? :) I do really recommend this one. I am so happy with how it looks when I am wearing it. :) xx
DeleteIt sounds like you're having a great time back in England, I'm so happy for you :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic shade! it looks gorgeous on you, and it is really difficult to find yellows for me too. I really like your new nail shape btw!

I really am, Natalia! Its so lovely spending time with my family, I missed my three year old Niece terribly so spending lots of time chatting and playing with her is great :) I like this one a lot, thank you for your kind words! I'm still not 100% on the nail shape, to me the thumb is weird but I think I'm still just getting used to it! xxx
DeleteVery nice shade of yellow :-)
ReplyDeleteHow did the tail end of the hurricane effect you down there? We've had heavy rain and a lot colder weather up here in Scotland! This last week, I can ever tell if it's the end of the hurricane or just normal Scottish weather lol! We are all starting to think our summer is well a truly over :-|
Thank you, Ananka! It was awful here yesterday! We had heavy rain on and off all day and some thunder. I'm so sorry to hear it was crappy up in Scotland also, I hope it clears up soon! Today has been much better and the sun has been out but now that I am thinking of taking the dog out for a walk there are some nasty looking grey clouds - Just my luck, ha! The weather was much more 'stable' in Holland, for sure! xx
DeleteLovely shade, I'm more and more into yellows lately.
ReplyDeleteThank you, A.Notcopyacat! Me too, I've never been the biggest yellow fan but they are growing on me :) xx
