Sally Hansen-Forever Lilac

Forever Lilac is from the Diamond Strength line.  It is a sheer berry-lilac mix of a color with a ton of pretty shimmer.  Now, I did not expect this polish to be called Forever Lilac when I first saw the color.  In the bottle it is more of a raspberry color, definitely not lilac.  On the nail, however, it dries just a touch lighter.  Still not a true lilac, but definitely closer than the bottle color.  These photos are three coats topped with SV.

I really like this color. I'm not sure it's the best against my skin tone, but it's super shimmery and pretty.  Very feminine.  It has a somewhat metallic quality, which makes it a little more unusual than your typical purple mani. Even though this color is super shimmery, I still think it is office appropriate because of the soft, feminine color.

What do you think?

Also, I've been getting quite a few comments where people are link spamming me.  I moderate my comments to avoid them being posted, but I would appreciate if you would please email me instead of leave a link here if you want me to check out your blog/website.  Thanks!! :D

Nails of Last Month...

Sally Hansen's Lacy Lilac

This color is beautiful!  Not my typical style, but great for spring.  It is a cream finish that is completely opaque in 2 thin coats.  The only bad thing about this formulation is that it can get a bit chunky, as you can see from my cuticle area.

Sally Hansen's Commander in Chic

Sorry about the poor lighting in this picture...This color is, just as the bottle says, chic.  It's a taupey-purple-greyish-brown type color.  It looks a little drab in the bottle, but on the nails it's amazing.  Opaque in 2 coats.

Sinful Colors' Courtney Orange

When I saw this color at my local Walgreens, I had to pick it up.  It is called Courtney Orange, after all.  I wasn't terribly impressed with the color or formulation, but for those who love orange polish, I think this might be a winner.

Sinful Colors' Mint Apple

Now this is one gorgeous color.  I'm not usually a pastel lover, but this color is so dimensional.  It has silver shimmer and a jelly-like base.  So gorgeous.  The formulation is meh, 2 thick coats is what I had on in the picture.  I'm definitely going to be wearing this one often this spring :)
