Island Farms - Moon Mist - Classic Ice Cream - New Release!

Hey Readers!
I picked up this new release Island Farms Moon Mist Ice Cream.
This is a wicked Neapolitan style spin of blue raspberry, banana and grape ice cream!
So heavenly, it's a soft flavor of blue raspberry, banana and grape, not a strong flavor which some might prefer more flavor, but I say the name is Moon Mist so it's meant to be light and misty.
Plus HOW CUTE is the name Moon Mist?!

Island Farms makes good quality Ice Cream.
This release is so perfect to serve for a birthday party, or a Spring/Summer party!

If you knew me when I was younger you would know how much I was OBSESSED with The Spice Girls and still to this day I love to go back and listen to their music, Victoria Beckham was always my favorite, so this release I was so super happy for!
This shade of Bamboo White Collection is a bone white nude cream shade which pairs so well with so many looks, it's chic and pretty.
It's vibrant, and rich, you only need 1-2 coats, applies very nicely and easily.
Long lasting as it stayed chip-free from over a week!
The bottle is complete in a collectors NAILS INC. Victoria Beckham box, which you can reuse for little items.

-Stretch-To-Fit Technology: An elastic-like polymer that gives a flexible, self-leveling finish as it increases the stretching and tensing properties of the polish—allowing color to glides onto the nail, fitting every contour to ensure a perfectly smooth application. 
-Added Bamboo Extract: Infused with silica to promote optimum nail health as it conditions and feeds the nail bed with essential nutrients from first application. As the richest source of silica, it helps nails to regain their natural shine, reducing nail ridges and imperfections while supporting nail growth.

The Judo Red and Bamboo White nail lacquers are formulated with exclusive Stretch-To-Fit technology and bamboo extract, infused with silica—all within a sleek bottle. The Judo Red is a vibrant tomato shade while Bamboo White is a bone shade—created in-line with key pieces from the Victoria, Victoria Beckham collection. Designed by Fabien Baron and Victoria Beckham, each bottle comes in matte black and matte white, and is created with fine Venetian glass, and is hand-frosted to leave a subtle reveal window.
