Hello everybody!
That's about how I feel today...I don't know why, but everything I start today ends in chaos *yikes* I should have just stayed in bed and wait till Tuesday *grin*
Still, I actually intended to swatch 2 soft lovely beauties for you, but swatching didn't work out very well today, I managed to dip right into the fresh polish before taking the pictures. Oh, and no, not did I manage to do so once, but about 5!!! times in row, so I just decided "oh, what the heck..." and took pics of the messed up swatch, I do apologize for that, but I am just severly lefthanded on both hands today.
So, since it's Monday I wanted to show you some soft shades, to have a soft start into the new week ;-)
I picked two Essie colors, Essie Lilacism from the Spring Collection and Essie Main Squeeze from the Wedding Collection, which just came out recently.
The formula of both is okay I guess, a bit too runny for my taste.
Lilacism is a soft lilac cream, leaning towards the blue side of lilac. I needed the standart 2 coats for it to be opaque.
Main Squeeze is very sheer, a sheer pearl base, shimmering in different shades of lilac with a sort of pearl like effect, I needed 4 coats for it to really show on my nails.

The beautiful shimmer is really hard to capture and my pics don't do this polish justice
