Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Lacey Lilac.
This shade has been out for awhile now, but I just got my hands on it today after months of walking past the display at Walmart and telling myself I needed to exercise some form of self-control. Xtreme Wear ($2.50) are one of my favorite drugstore polishes; it is so easy to go overboard and put a ton of these into my shopping basket =/
Lacey Lilac (LL; 2 coats) is a gorgeous lilac creme that somehow manages to be vibrant and muted at the same time. I've been a fan of lilac/lavender nails eversince I saw Sarah Michelle Gellar's nails back in '97 (but that's another story). The Xtreme Wear polishes tend to get goopy and thick after the 3rd nail or so of application. I usually just screw the cap back on, roll the bottle in the palm of my hands to warm it up [Because ladies, we do not shake our nail polishes and cause gross air bubbles. We roll ;) ], and it'll go back to a liquidy consistency. I know it's a drag but I think it has something to do with how quickly these polishes dry that gets it goopy really quickly.
Right, LL reminded me so much of my beloved OPI polish in Done Out in Deco. Can you tell which nail is LL and which is DOID?
It's the one on top. I know not everyone can justify spending $10 on a bottle so LL is a great alternative.
DOID (left) is slightly darker and more greyish than LL (right). I wanted a lighter version of DOID since forever so I'm thrilled! I felt like DOID looked a tad dirty (still nice & still a favorite though!), like those taupe-grey-purply colours (RE: OPI for Sephora Metro Chic, Rimmel Steel Grey). Yeah, I never really understood why those colours are pretty =/
I will stop my rambling but I'm still looking for the OPI Black Shatter. I.want.it.so.bad.
