While lilacs come in many shades of pink and purple, Lilacism from Essie's Spring 2010 collection "Art of Spring" is of the beautiful bluish-purple variety. I adore this pastel spring shade despite its less-than-perfect formula - I needed three coats for smooth and even coverage.
Thinking this polish might be a dupe to Essie To Buy or Not To Buy? I did! To Buy or Not To Buy is actually pinker compared to Lilacism (comparison picture here).
We photographed these lilacs in the Brooklyn Botanical Garden last month :)
oh beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAren't lilacs dreamy?!
DeleteI love Essie's, this one is no exception. But I love Lilac's even more! Beautiful shots!
