This is a gorgeous lavender shade leaning very slightly towards a periwinkle. Since it is a pastel, I found it a little harder to apply than usual since generally the formula of pastel shades of polish can be a little chalky. However, with that being said it is opaque with two coats and doesn't chip easily either. Great colour for Spring!

super pretty light purple, great 2 coat coverage,dries pretty quickly. gorgeous alone but I use it a lot as a base color for fades- the one I'm going to upload is Agent Lavender with color club pucci-licious creeping up from the cuticle. (striped tips- ooh la la lol)

Pretty light purple! I like to create lace designs on this color instead of pink because light pink do not look good on my hands. I would not buy this again though because I would love something slightly darker!

This nail polish is ok to me. Nothing spectacular. The color is very pretty but the application can be streaky and all in all I don't think that it's worth the extra money you are spending over getting a cheapo nail polish. Would look very nice in the summer against tan skin. I'm a girly girl and have been painting my nails since I was very young. I have about 50-60 bottles of nail polish all together and have tried all kinds of brands. To me there is no big difference in formula really between brands. It mostly seems to depend on the color. I do have to say that I enjoy China Glaze a lot more than OPI and with my experience with China Glaze and OPI both I would say only invest the money if it is a color that you can not find in any other brand because that is really the only reason I will purchase from them. They have a huge selection of colors so you may be able to find something fun and unique.

Before ChG's Agent Lavender, I had never seen a color similar to this. The color has been described below perfectly by other reviewers. This was a color that when I first put it on I felt very "meh" about it. It just wasn't that great. But everywhere I went shopping that day I had several girls stop me to ask what color it was and where to get it. Well, that impressed me since that was the first time that had ever happened to me. I still didn't really care for it myself until the summer when I had a tan. I loved the contrast of it against my darker skin (I'm very light olive skinned usually). So overall, I love the color. On me, I love it only in the summer, which makes sense as it is more of a summer color I suppose. :)

This color reminds me of Lady Gaga. And I love lavender. First coat was streaky, but second coat made it opaque and lovely. I'm not sure how I feel about it against my skintone though (Asian, warmish). I still love it enough to keep it on for at least a couple days. One problem I had with this was the bubbling. It wasn't BAD, nor were they huge, and easily fixed by doing it over or using SV top coat, but I have noticed that China Glaze cremes have been doing this lately (For Audrey is another shade I own that does this). I will keep this color around though, because it is unique in my humble collection. :)

i am a sucker for anything lavender. i think it compliments many skintones and i just feel so light & girly whenever i wear it. this may be my perfect lavender shade~ very unique. the only one i found that comes close is OPI's Done Out in Deco.. also a very gorgeous lavender shade =]

Wow, this polish is smooth! It just glides onto the nail. The quality is amazing, there was no pooling or streaking. The application process was a breeze. I also liked the color. It looks great on both tips and toes.

I adore this nail polish. The colour is wonderfully unique and still compliments my skin. It only needs two coats for a perfect, streak free finish. I am very impressed.

this is a beautiful color with perfect application in two coats. it is opaque but not chalky. it has a softness to it. you may not think to use lavender but it is very flattering, clean and feminine.

I am a licensed nail tech, although I most likely will no longer do it professionally since I graduated college and am ready to move on, I still love nail polishes, designs, care, ect. I do not like a lot of china glaze polishes, although I can work with them well. A lot of them are streaky, sticky or too sheer. Agent Lavender, has been my favorite by far. It does apply somewhat streaky with the first coat, but the second coat is necessary as with most polishes. It covers well, dries evenly, is a heavenly shade, and lasts a lot longer than other shades of china glaze and other polishes in general. The pictures posted are very accurate. It is quite neutral although it is pastel. It makes nails look flawless and fresh. In general, your skin will look warmer, and for those who are pale like me, tanner.

I really don't have anything bad to say about this nail polish. Agent Lavender is just a gorgeous pale lavender creme, but has the right amount of brightness to give it a POP! without appearing neon. Probably the best lavender creme out there IMO. The color reminds me of spring and Eastertime, and just really cheers me up when I see it. You could probably do with 2 coats, but 3 coats is going to really give AL more depth and intensity. It applies smooth like butter and dries to a nice glossy finish.

I love this nail polish!! The colour is amazing and everytime I wear it people comment on it like crazy. As with every China Glaze it has amazing staying power and application is a breeze. The colour is a beautiful cream lavender with no shimmer, which I love. I dont like shimmers, I swapped them all actually and they have been replaced with all ChG creams. Great nail polish, fun colour.

I love pastel creams like this and For Audrey... Lavender is incredibly popular in makeup and now for nails.. It reminds me of the Hard Candy shades that came in the 90's. Gives me flashbacks....

I love this lavender creme! The application was wonderful and it looks so lovely on the nail. It reminds me of an Easter Egg :) I like this shade so much better than OPI's Do you Lilac It? I really wanted to, but I ended up swapping that one. I now have a great lavender creme.

I love this polish. It is a super pale opaque lavender creme. It's almost like lavender white out. In low lighting it looks like a blue grey (which I don't mind). The only complaint that I have is that the formula is a little thick and slightly difficult to work with. But I find that problem consistently with China Glaze, and prefer the formula of Opi. However, I do love this color, so yes, I would buy again. Click continued to see a pic on my NC25 skin. (2 coats, indoor lighting, no flash) HTH!

ooh, I love this color. It really goes well with my olive tan skintone. I heard some complaints about the application with this one, so I added a few drops of thinner before my first application. Konad stamp in Royal Purple really pops with this polish.
Also, I think it is more striking than OPI Do you Lilac it?. Plus it beats OPI's consistency. Is it me, or does all OPI polish become hot thickened mess after some time?

I've been looking for OPI's Do You Lilac It for months now, to no avail. I did find one half-used bottle at a nail salon, but they wouldn't sell it to me. So I've been looking for a dupe to it. This is lighter than DYLI, but I love it even more. It's a pale lavender cream that is just gorgeous. Thanks to nailgal.com by the way, where comparisons were posted. Plus it was only $2.99 online. I will definitely buy a couple of backups of this color since it'll probably be discontinued.
