Above & Below: Lime Lights is an extremely sheer (shown using 3 coats) pale mint green with iridescent shimmer. I found this worked much better as a layering polish over black.
Below: See what I mean? How gorgeous is that color now?!! The color shifts from a darker to lighter green in various lighting. I think this would look beautiful as a stamping image color on a black-based Konad design.
Here's another Xtreme Wear, this time in Lime Lights. Even though I don't like this one nearly as much as I did The Real Teal, which I posted earlier today, it's not a total fail. Worn alone (with 3 coats), it's an iridescent pale green that is more mint than lime. It's extremely sheer and I'd hazard a guess that you'd need 5 coats to get rid of the visible nail lines. The iridescent shimmer is quite attractive, so I wondered how it might perform over black. I did a quick test using 1 coat of Orly's Matte Vinyl, followed with 1 coat of Lime Lights, and I'll admit this look impresses me more. It becomes an emerald green with what looks like a light sprinkling of lighter green shimmer. In various lighting, it almost turns into a duo chrome, showing some underlying black and darker shades of green.
