Limecrime - Parfait Day Review



Along with D'Lilac (review here) I also purchased a nail polish from Limecrime, I wanted to try another of their products and seeing as how my pastel pink polish from Barry M had just run out I thought I'd give 'Parfait Day' a go! I'm going to review it in a slightly different way though, so I hope you like it:

Packaging

I've mentioned this about a gazillion times on my blog recently, but I LOVE the packaging of Limecrime's items, it's the main reason why I wanted to buy from them and not just opt for a cheaper or similar brand. The nail polish is no exception, it came in a cute little box and the bottle itself is frosted glass with the pretty little Limecrime logo on it, the only complaint I have is that the bottle is a bit smaller than I expected, it's kinda diddy but that doesn't bother me too much as you don't need more than 2 coats. In the box both my purchases arrived in, I got a holographic sticker (third photo) which I was almost as excited about...I think someone needs to calm me down over here.

Colour

Arghh I'm so annoyed by the way this colour photographs! In reality it's waaaay more of a neon pastel pink, it's seriously bright and definitely makes more of a statement than you can see in the photo. Overall, I love the colour and really you can get away with just one coat which is awesome for pastel shades - I always ended up applying around 4 of my Barry M one!

Overall Performance

As much as I love the colour and packaging of this 'Parfait Day', it's performance is kinda average. I found that it dried really fast, like super super fast which was a bonus, I hate waiting around for my nails to dry, only to smush them and have all the polish crease up! The only downside I found to this polish is how easy it chips! The first time I applied it I didn't use a topcoat or base coat and it had chipped within a few hours...it is a bit better with a topcoat, I managed to go 2 days with only minor chippage but still...I kinda expected more.

Have you tried any Limecrime products yet? Which ones are on your wish list?

Love Ellen xx

  14. I have got to look into this brand because the only reason that I rarely paint my nails is because they take forever to dry! Love the colour too! x

  17. I haven't tried any LIMECRIME because I've heard that some of the products aren't that awesome but gosh the packaging is so tempting. One thing they definitely have gotten right this the marketing - I'm pretty sure if I paid for a product I'd be paying for that sticker <3
