Alter Ego Limelite Lover - Swatches and Review

I don't know what took me so long but I finally ordered my first polishes from Cynthia at Alter Ego! I received my two polishes with a nice card, a makeup brush, a manicure brush and a little tube of nail glue. So nice!

Of course you KNOW I had to try the green one first! Limelite Lover is a glitter polish is described by the creator: A limelite lover is someone who is always "on"! Quick witted, glib & observant, happy to be part of any scene as long as they can find an audience! This enamel has 2 shades of lime glitter, 1 matte & 1 holographic.

It's a really gorgeous, almost neon, lime green and I've layered it over GOSH Early Green on my 4 fingers and alone on my thumb so you can see how it builds on its own. I had no issues with application. It was a tad on the thick side, but not enough to be a problem. I've used two coats over the base color and 3 coats on the thumb alone. It dries to a satin finish so I have a photo at the end with top coat so you can see it both ways. I rather like it without the top coat though!


This was my base: GOSH Early Green

Ain't she PURTY?

What do you think? I'm a huge fan of the single-color-look glitters even though up close they have a ton of interest. I'm not really into the multi-colored glitters as much so this one was right up my alley. And it's GREEN!
