Officially described as a neon green linear holo, the color here is less strident and much more graceful that what I generally think of for neon. It is, in fact, a perfect lime green, bright, radiant, fresh and energetic. Abundant finely-milled holographic pigment dimensionalizes the look with shimmering hues of green-yellow, spring bud, pear and glimmers of pale robin's egg blue in ambient light, and creates a gleaming semi-metallic underlay of golden chartreuse yellow. We are overcast and rainy here today, but I imagine that in direct sun would generate a sparkling, analogously-hued linear holographic display featuring a brilliant arc of bright spring green edged with sparks of orange.
Application was fantastic. The consistency of Electric Lime is fluid, light and creamy with a medium viscosity and a effortless, buttery, self-leveling glide over the nail. Pigmentation is very good. A touch of sheerness on the first coat builds easily to wearable opacity with the second. Cleanup is easy. Electric Lime dries naturally in very good time to a smooth, shiny finish. Topcoat does not inhibit the holographic properties in any way.

Wow, this is just what the doctor ordered for a rainy day in early spring! There's a radiance to this holo that is almost jewel-like on the nail, and the color is perfect for visualizing the bright greens of new spring leaves that are already beginning to appear around these parts. Really perks a body up!
love,
