Moonstone Nail Polish Swatch :: Key Lime Pie from What’s In-Die Box February 2014

*** Spoiler Alert ***

February’s What’s In-Die Box was themed “Bakery Delights”, and over the coming days I will be sharing full manicures of each of the polishes that were in the box.  As usual, I have popped up a cheeky spoiler alert and a teaser black and white photo for those of you who haven’t received your box, and are still trying desperately to keep its contents a surprise.

Moonstone Nail Polish – Key Lime Pie

Key Lime Pie is the last polish left to share with you from February’s What’s In-Die Box.  This glitter topper from Moonstone Nail Polish captures the citrus feeling of a Key Lime Pie perfectly with its lime green, bright yellow, sheer pastel yellow and frosty sheer white hex and circle glitters in a variety of sizes, with a pinch of holo glitter dust.  Moonstone really packed in the glitters, so there was no fishing necessary, and the glitters dried fairly flat and only needed one layer of topcoat.  The up-close nail shot below is Key Lime Pie over MUD Meet Minty, which shows off the different type of glitters better.

I really wanted to amp up the key lime pie feel in this swatch, so my base is a gradient of Sinful Colors Snow Me White, Maybelleine Urban Lemon and Sinful Colors Innocent.  I then applied one normal, and one ultra thin coat of Key Lime Pie and topped with HK Girl topcoat.  It looks really summery and fresh.

The only thing that would make this more Key Lime-like would be lime scent!
