    I borrowed this nail polish from a friend, and I fell in love with it! I didn't really think I'd like purple nail polish, well, any color besides pink. But this pastel purple is so sweet and...

    EDIT: The colour separated even after putting it on, so I'm lowering it to 2 lippies.Qaulity isn't up to the usual Essie's standard. I was looking for a pastel purple to wear for spring, and...

    I love this color! However, I'm not sure what is going on with Essie making this color. I have a more lilac colored bottle...but just the other day in Walgreens I saw the same color but it was...

    I consider Essie polishes suitable but not review worthy. But Lilacism is different - it has a story to tell. A pastel lilac with a good base of blue and a touch of grey which makes it very well...

    I am very fair skinned and I LOVE this polish! I reached full opacity in 2 coats and I could not be more pleased. It's soft, gentle, and very feminine. Looks gorgeous. I want 5 bottles just so I...

    Really pretty pale lilac color but it needed 3 coats to be opaque because the formula was so thin. Then after a couple of months, the polish turned into blue! Did I get a bad bottle? I'll look...

    This color is beautiful. I have medium-light skin tone (slightly tanned, because of the summer sun) and this color looks great with my skin tone. I love it! I paired this with Essie's 3-way glaze...

    This polish looks great on medium to darker skin tones; it's a bit to light for fair skin tones. The formula is typical for Essie, it's very streaky and does not stay true to the bottle color...

    This is a gorgeous lavender pastel with a creme finish. It's cool toned and looks great on my medium skin-tone. The formula is a little watery so it takes two-three coats to get full opacity. Very...

    Such a pretty lavender color in the bottle, but it really doesn't do anything for my fair skin tone. I think it is just too light and chalky for someone of my coloring. I used the color for my...

    This color is great if you like pastel-like light purple. It's a very nice spring..maybe summer color. I think the only con would be that is chipped after a few days, but keep in mind that I did...

    I'm a bit mystified by the fair-skinned reviewers calling this chalky. I put on three coats and it looks periwinkle on my NW20 skin! I want to do a second mani or pedi with this color, because I...

    Pros: Pretty, great lavender color, great for Spring Not as sheer as some other Essie pastels Cons: Streaky (this seems to be a common issue for Essie polishes though..)

    The brush isn't too big, and the colour is just nice and light. This is a win for essie! Lilacism looks AMAZING on golden, tan skin :) Perfect pastel colour.

    This is a fun lavender color. I prefer it over OPI DO you lilac it? Just because this color is paler and a little chalkier. The application is a little streaky, but after two coats it evens out....

    Whenever I use this, I stare at my nails a lot and admire them. It sounds weird, but I love the color. It's very unique and pretty. I never see people wear that many pastel colors on their nails....
