I love the color but hate the formula. It's a cool toned medium pastel lavender/pink color. It's looks very pretty in my nc30-35 skin. Only thing I hate is the formula!!! It's super thick yet opaque in one coat. Dries pretty quick. I'm going to try and thin it out with some nail polish thinner. Other than that, gorgeous color but I wouldn't repurchase. I would rather find another brand with a similar color with a better formula.

I love love love this lavender! Usually warm shades don't suit my skin tone, but the moment I saw swatches of this color, I have been wanting it for months...months! Finally I got this at Sally's and this color is smooth and gorgeous! With a few drops of thinner, this is only a one coat polish. I gladly paid full price for this! I think this will be one of the few shades I will want wear over and over again, and one that suits any occasion.

Out of all the purple polishes I own, this shade is my favorite. It's a gorgeous, milky, pastel lilac that looks almost pink in some lights. It's a great springtime color, but I wear this shade year-round.
Unfortunately, the formula isn't the best on this. It's runny yet thick, and it tends to pool at the cuticles and around the edges of the nails. Also, since the formula is a little thick, I find that this chips more quickly than other Orly polishes I own.
And I have to add -- I love Orly's rubber brush handle! It seems like such a minor touch, but it makes application so much easier.
Despite my issues with the formula, I still love this shade and will continue to get a lot of use out of this. This is a great shade if you're looking to explore color but still want something relatively "safe."

This is one of my favorite nail polishes. It is opaque in 2 coats. It dries faster than any polish I own, and it lasts for days without chipping!

What a beautiful colour - and disappointing formula! I spotted this at my local Sallys Beauty Supply and found it stunning. It remind me of the MAC lipstick in Snob. Both are cool toned, non shimmery, blue pinks. The formula seems a little bit thicker then as per usual, and you must work quickly.


By that, I mean I am someone who does my nails in sort of multiple and sometimes slow strokes. This one you need to apply it carefully, yet quickly, in three long strokes. I started in the middle, then left side of my nail and then right. It seems the polish dries quite fast (sort of a bonus?!) which unfortunately doesn't give you a lot of time to add extra polish over spots you missed, as it smudges..


It is quite flattering on my NW15 skin, and at three coats was opaque despite the first streaky one. I also noticed it was quite shiny, which is a plus. Despite the slight issues with the formula, if you are patient I would recommend this - with caution. I hope they will reformulate it soon. :)


Edit: Had to knock off two lippies. The next day after applying this it chipped and peeled. Therefore would not repurchase this.

I am so disappointed! This is my 1st Orly nail polish and the only reason I shelled out the cash for this was cause I loved the color so much. But like the others have said, the application is horrible! It super THICK and globby and really makes a mess. I did end up making it look nice the 1st time I used it, but it took 10 x longer then any other manni I've given myself. Anyone know if a good dupe with better formula? (I already own OPI Mod about You)

This is a very pretty lilac purple. It is perfect for springtime. I applied 2 coats on my nails because I always apply 2 coats, but you really only need 1 coat because it is super opaque. I think the formulation is a bit thick, but nail polish thinner should make it better. I did not have any streaking at all even with one coat. I applied out the door topcoat over it and it looks nice and glossy. I love this color. Picture will follow soon...

I just put this polish on and the color is gorgeous! I will agree with previous reviewers that it is a very thick polish and can get a little messy. I think though that the thickness is what gives it such a beautiful rich color and finish. Only two coats are needed and you get a fully opaque, beautiful lilac color. I gave a 4 for the difficulty-of-use factor, but I will reach for this often! As of now I can't speak to how well it lasts, since I just put it on. I would recommend.

this was my first Orly nail polish and unfortunately, it was not good :( I like the easy-grip cap, and the pretty light purple creme shade, but the formula SUCKS. I remember the first time I used this stuff, I got sheet marks on my fingers the next morning even though I had done my nails hours before going to bed. also, it chips a lot even with topcoat. good thing I swapped it away.

Just gross. Gross formula and the color completely washes me out and gives me that "dead" look. There are many better options out there.

Polish was opaque but thick, needs a few coats to even out the layers. Applying just one coat, the polish looks uneven. Does that make sense haha
Overall color was okay, I like my OPIs lavender cremes more (:

The color looked like a pretty pale lavender with a hint of pink but on my darker tan skin, it can sometimes look very washed out, emphasizing the darkness of my skin even more. IMO, it looks better on longer nails. I don't know if I got a bad bottle or something but it's so thick and streaky! One coat is okay but any more than that and it starts to clump up and not spread so evenly. It tends to look VERY streaky when dry and looks very clumpy and uneven. On the bright side, it dries pretty quickly - or atleast one coat does. The color is pretty-ish, kinda so so to me. I wish the consistency was smoother and the brush was a little bigger. Maybe I'll try adding some thinner and see if it helps any.

I love this polish! this is the 2nd polish from this Orly collection that has blown me away. I also have "Cotton Candy" and it is my most coveted peachy pink at the moment.
Lollipop applies beautifully, just perfect consistency; it's not too thin or too thick, and no streaking. I even like it just with one coat. The color itself is a cross between a lavender and a pink, almost like a more wearable version of Mod About You by OPI. (I love MAY though)
This color is also perfect for darker skin tones, so I do respectfully disagree with the previous reviewer. I'm dark and OPI's MAY may look a bit liquid-paperesque on a darker person, but this color is just not quite as white-based. It's still very mod looking, but wearable.
What I also love most is that this lavender tone is not so blue. I have CG's "Agent Lavender" and that is just so blue to me. This is like night and day compared to that...they're not remotely similar.
this is a really unique color, and the price, packaging, quality and overall beauty make it a bargain. Get them while they're out...I have feeling this won't be available for long! Bonus: you get a little vial of mini lip gloss =)

This is a perfect light, cool-pink that almost airs on a lavender creme. It's from the 2010, Sweet Spring II Collection.

This would actually be best on fair, cool complexions. It can look chalky on darker/warmer skintones.
