OPI Hey! Get in Lime!

So I've kind of got bad news.  In the next 2-3 weeks, the posts from me are going to be few in far between.  I have WAY too much going on right now and it's killing me that I don't have time to paint my nails.  Painting my nails is almost therapeutic for me, and boy do I need a stress release.  In the next 2 weeks, I have to play in 2 volleyball playoff tournaments, study and take a midterm, take an overnight trip, pack up my life, move, unpack my life, finish a leasing agreement, get my new renters to sign it, schedule a carpet installation, get quotes on getting my basement professionally cleaned, take the dog to the vet, go to a concert, find a new vet for the cat, and WORK.  Ummmmmm, I kinda freaking out!!!  So I'm bringing you a nice calming pale green to help me try to reach some kind of internal zen.  While it's not really helping, I really love OPI's Hey! Get in Lime!

Hey! Get in Lime! was part of the OPI Brights collection released back in 2006, which means this polish is the old chemical filled formula with the non-prowide brush.  I did need 3 coats to get this beautiful creamy mint green, but I think it was worth it.  I picked this up after I swapped Courtney my Damone Roberts 1968 when I didn't like it on my skin tone.  I figured this guy would fill my need for a mint green polish and it did.  Note that this is after 2 days of wear for me, so in the second picture you can see a chip on my middle finger. I would have love to have brought you this sooner, but alas.  I also had some wrinkling on my index finger, which is totally my fault.  I did this in a rush and didn't waiting long enough between coats, before adding topcoat, or before going to bed.

Hey! Get in Lime! is discontinued, but I easily found this guy at a beauty salon.  There are also a ton on Ebay if you must have it.  But since it's hard to find, you might be shelling out a bit more than $8.50 for it!

So what to expect from me in the next 2 weeks - one more post with my overnight trip mani and then posts about my Shellac manicure, which I get Tuesday.  It seems like a nail breaks everyday for me with all this volleyball and packing, and I've got a Groupon for Shellac, so I figured why the heck not.  I've done it before with mixed results, so I figured I can document my progress for you all.  I know they won't be the most exciting posts, but unfortunately life wins over blogging for a bit!
