Essie Lilacism is a soft and feminine creamy lilac shade that was released with the 2010 Art of Spring collection. I love the shade, not so much the formula. The consistency is too thick and applies streaky. I used three coats plus top coat in the above.
I finally got a much needed hair cut! This time I went to PANYC Salon (pronounced panic), it's right around the corner from me and is open till late. Jeff was my stylist and he was very attentive to my needs, my hair was re-layered and split ends removed. I'm really happy with the cut, he did a great blow out for me too! If you're in the area do give it a try, it's located in a convenient area one block west of Union Square

So this is a little random. I generally stick with Alcon when it comes to contact solution but noticed that Renu recently repackaged theirs! I picked up a bottle to see what it's all about, turns out they finally made the bottles see-through! Now you know when you're running low. What took them so long?!
Guess what I saw on my way home? I tweeted this but it's too cute not to share here :)
XOXO, M
that shade is lovely but doesn't sound easy to work with :(. do all essie nail varnishes have the same formula?
ReplyDeletegreat cut, by the way! it really suits you and your hair looks very healthy.
p.s. i'm so jealous you get to live in nyc!
