NOTD: Lilac Sparkle (My Current Favourite Nail Combination)


It's weird because in general, lilac and purple aren't really colours that especially do it for me but I definitely make an exception when it comes to nails. In fact if I had to choose one nail colour to wear for the rest of my life it would probably be something like this, it's a bit different to a standard pink but is still quite muted for day-to-day wear. Although pastel-y colours are more popular over the spring and summer, I think this is a good all rounder that wouldn't look out of place in any season. 

I'm quite new to the world of Essie polishes, but I can now see what all the hype is about. I love the wide brush and the formula of most shades I've tried is opaque in two coats. My two previous lilac favourites 'Prickly Pear' and 'Berry Icecream' by Barry M haven't been used much since 'Bond With Whomever' arrived, although all three are similar shades and well worth checking out if you're a fellow lilac nails fan. 'Stunning' is definitely my favourite glitter topcoat of the moment. It's full of small and large pieces of holographic glitter which make it ultra sparkly- the glitter pieces reflect a rainbow of different colours in the light. Sadly my camera has dulled some of the shine on the nail swatch- but take my word for it, it's amazing!
