Lavander-ish color with nice formula. Kinda boring color, though.

It's very tricky to get the color to apply smoothly because it is very runny and does streak. The end result is a beautiful lilac but I wished that the formula was better. For me, it took forever to d...Read more

My first essie nail polish. I love the color itself. Its a toned down purple that's pastel with a touch of grey. The formula is thin (when compared to OPI and China Glaze). It requires 3 coats to be t...Read more

This nail polish is a lovely lavender pastel color that I believe goes well with only certain skin colors. It's easy to apply and very opaque, a lovely Easter/spring color. It is a little more expens...Read more

I think this is a wonderful color! It is a creme lavender that is bright and cute. It washes out my toes but looks great on my hands :] The formula is a little on the runny side, but I think it goes...Read more

Contrary to other reviewers, I found the application of the polish to be very good (which I cannot say for all Essie polishes I have purchased). It went on evenly and did not try TOO fast that I could...Read more

I bought this in a sale bin for $2. I have hardly any dusty colors, but this one was bearable. It took 3 coats for an even application, but I changed it after a day because I was bored already. Don't ...Read more

Very pastel lilac purple. I didn't like it at first because it looked chalky but I kept it on and it started to grow on me. I'm still on the fence about it but probably won't repurchase because I doub...Read more

Colour was true to the bottle after 2 coats, though still a little streaky looking and could probably use a third coat to be completely opaque. Streaky to apply, but the colour is beautiful and looked...Read more

Far too streaky and hard to work with. Will not be purchasing this again. after two coats the color is true to the bottle, but the color is a stark contrast to my NW45 complexion.

I loved this in the bottle. On my toes, not so much. :-) It is a very dead looking lavender, and makes me look dead. I am light-medium skin tone with yellow undertones. Do NOT buy this if you're pale...Read more

This is a dead looking lavender. It might work if you are looking for a light color for your toes in summer. I'm ppp and cool.

This is pretty much the ONLY lilac in Essie's vast collection and it is fine as a pedi. A little opaque and chalky on me for a mani - and it does have a cool almost grey-ish cast. (Layer a coat of O...Read more

This is a gorgeous lilac shade that would be especially pretty with a tan. I have lots of yellow-undertones in my skin & this lilac looked so pretty. The formula is excellent. I applied 2 coats and...Read more
