Toby and I went on a walk early this morning and spotted this beautiful lilac nail polish on two different gorgeous women. (Maybe it's the new "it" color?) It looked so light and lovely, and was a nice change from red and pink. I'm going to pick up a bottle today and plan to wear it all summer. What do you think? xoP.S. I never used to be that into nail polish, but the colors are so amazing this year.

That is the *exact* color of my 4-year-old daughter's fingers and toes right now! She's so chic!
ReplyDeletehaha, no way, bri! :) she is a little trendsetter! you should try some on, too. ;)
ReplyDeleteLove it! That's the color I wore on my nails for my sister's wedding, it really must be the summer's "it" color! I'm liking the pink, "Cute As A Button" color too!

P.S. Just posted a new blog featuring our wedding video! It'll be sure to put a smile on your face today! =)

I just quit one of my jobs recently, and part of the dress code was that we couldn't wear nail polish, or any other makeup really. Can you imagine? I was there for sooo long too. I'm definitely going to take advantage of this new finger nail freedom and try on as many new pretty shades as I can this summer! :D
ReplyDeletewow, really, cassandra? that's so strict!
ReplyDeleteI've had that exact color on my nails before. It's so pretty. I agree with you, I'm more into nail polish now than ever!
ReplyDeleteJo! Might I recommend the best lilac color I've found? Slightly embarassing because it's from the Shrek (!) collection from O.P.I.... but it's beautiful. It's called Rumples' Wiggin. :)
ReplyDeleteYou know, Joanna, the older I got, the more I became enamored of nail polish on the fingers. Toes, I always did but not fingers.
ReplyDeleteI still haven't had anything other than fairly traditional colors but this is tempting. I'll look at it today on a neighborhood errand trip. One of the joys of living in an urban neighborhood...
i have that exact same color - it must be the "it" color of the season cause my friend and i ended up wearing it at the same time! totally unplanned!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.style-extraordinaire.com/
Yeah, tell me about it! But no worries...I'm outta there, and I've got the loudest shade of pink on my nails right now. Take THAT former employer! ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful color! I love nail polish, but I never wear it because I'm just so awful at putting it on my nails - it always looks messy. Maybe I just need to try a manicure every once in a while :)
ReplyDeleteit is the best! i REALLY love it on my toes. but, maybe that is because i can't usually wear fingernail polish for work. apparently, it is 'clean' to wear it in the OR. ha! all in all, you will love it. great purchase!
ReplyDeleteI love it! It's a fun color but not an obnoxious one. Definitely a keeper!
ReplyDeleteI am a huge fan of the color - I actually love it so much that I bought it for one of my dear friends as part of her birthday present - had to share the love!
ReplyDeleteMuch love,
B
I love lilac nail polish! I bought lilacism by essie a few weeks ago. I still have some polish lingering on my thumbnails after my test-run...I need to get in the habit of removing nail polish when it starts chipping instead of letting it linger for weeks.
ReplyDeleteI am looking for a good pale blue. I think it makes a great neutral and pops a little when you have a tan. I just might have to get this lilac too!
ReplyDeleteIt's so fresh! I've also been seeing a lot of emerald green - in fact, essie has the greatest mermaid-y shade.
ReplyDeleteI just did a post about this color and I LOVE IT! I'm buying all the pastels I can... I blog about them each Monday!
ReplyDeleteI like it really cute.
ReplyDeleteget "nice is nice" by essie. it's my favorite!
ReplyDeleteLove that color. Nail polish is so fun - an instant pick me up. I love the way it looks as I am typing...is that weird? haha
ReplyDeleteI LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteoooh, love it! perfect for summer, indeed!
ReplyDeleteI love it! I've been wearing Essie "Lilacism" :)
ReplyDeleteYou know, I haven't been in the nail painting habit for about a decade now, but YES, I've been totally inspired by all the fun colors I'm seeing lately. I've also been seeing this really cute sunshiny yellow that looks fun and a tropical coral color! I'm thinking my 5 yr old and I need ourselves a nail painting party!~Melissa
ReplyDeletehaha, josie, i love that!
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely going to try this for my Saturday mani :) Have you tried tart deco? It's a really cute pastel coral.
ReplyDeleteLove it! I'm also in love with a similar pale purple from Essie, "Neo Whimsical." It's got a little touch of pink, so fun!
ReplyDeleteNail polish is my big makeup love. I tend to be very conservative with anything on my face but with nails I love bright, intense, fun colors. (My yoga instructor once pointed out my blue toenails and how happy they made her.) This lilac is gorgeous; will definitely pick up a bottle soon!
ReplyDeleteI'm not in NYC but I have that on my hands right this minute. :)
ReplyDeleteI have a lilac color on my nails right now! I also used a gold sparkly topcoat like Emily from Cupcakes and Cashmere. I love the way it looks!
ReplyDeleteI love this color! Also, I love using Essie's "French Affair" and I just bought "Absolutely Shore," (what seems to be a love affair between a mint-green and the sea-foam-green... L-O-V-E). A plus, I have seen plenty of girls wearing lilac and "French Affair," but I have yet to spot another girl wearing "Absolutely Shore" :)
ReplyDeleteI've been wearing Essie's "St. Lucia Lilac" this summer and it's such a fun pop of color! Definitely on board with lilac/lavender nails.
ReplyDeleteI never was much into nail polish either, but lately I've been wearing it and I'm loving it! Makes me feel so much more feminine- I even notice I'm more graceful in how I move my hands and gesture, which is kind of a funny observation. :)
ReplyDeletelove it! i didnt think i had a lot of any one given item in my stuff, till i realized how many bottles of nail polish i had. i have a darker lilac pastel purple that i love from joefresh. this ones nice too but i love fiji from essie in the summer
ReplyDeletehttp://www.pinkpeonieswithlove.blogspot.com
I ADORE this color and have only a teeny tiny bit left in my bottle. Definitely a great summer color.
ReplyDeleteI love that color so much! I wear it all of the time!
ReplyDeletehttp://thedailytiara.com
I want it!!
ReplyDeleteWow! Sooo adorable a feminine! I really like it!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!

I bought a lilac Essie polish last year and loved it! Unfortunately, it gets too milky on my nails and I'm such a perfectionist that I never liked the look on me. It's a gorgeous colour though!
ReplyDeleteI love my Essie lilac nail polish but I do think it looks best when I have a light tan!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty color! Did you ask each of the women for the name of the color? Or are you just highly observant? :)
ReplyDeleteSo pretty!
ReplyDeleteFunny, I actually threw french affair in my tote in case I had a minute to paint my nails at work.
ReplyDeleteI finally bought this a few months ago after hearing so many great things about it, but I was a bit let down (I thought it would be paler). However I found its lighter lavender cousin St. Lucia Lilac and I simply adore it!
ReplyDeleteI just found an Essie lilac polish on sale (50% off) at the drugstore the other day, I think the shade is called, "Nice is nice." I've gotten quite a few compliments on it and that never happens to me!
ReplyDeleteI've been using Nice is Nice for the past couple of months, Essie nail polishes are so addictive! Especially when the Target near you now carries them...dangerous.
ReplyDeleteI love having dark purple nails, but that doesn't really work for the summer. I'm going to have to try it.
ReplyDeleteLove that color.
ReplyDeleteThat is totally the color of my toes right now :) I bought it last weekend and I love it!
ReplyDeleteLove. It. I know it sounds crazy but I wasn't into nail polish until I had a baby—wear it all the time now! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm wearing that exact color on my toes now. So glad you approve ;)
ReplyDeletelilac has totally been my fav so far this summer!
ReplyDeletethis is such a cute color! i always go for the hot pinks and frenches.. maybe i should try this out too - something new.

I love this shade! There's also a similar powdery blue that I'm obsessed with!

Oh! I love this color for my toes!!!! ~Val
ReplyDeletei love this color!i JUST picked up a bottle yesterday! great minds!! ;) it is the perfect color for spring and summer! thanks for sharing! xx
ReplyDeletepretty! I might have to score some for my bright pink toe nails! ; )
ReplyDeleteThat's too funny... I've worn the color "Nice is Nice" a few times and I've NEVER gotten so many compliments! I guess I was wearing a trendy shade without realizing it!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE lilac nailpolish!
ReplyDeletehttp://sweetharvestmoon.blogspot.com
I'm loving lilac right now! Thanks.
ReplyDeletehttp://athomewithmaryam.blogspot.com
Oooo I do love that color!
ReplyDeleteLeighanaluther.blogspot.com
cara, haha, i asked! one of the women was with her baby at the playground so it was as little less awkward than approaching a complete stranger :)
ReplyDeleteI bought Essie's lilac color "Nice is Nice." Its a little darker than lilacism, but it is SO beautiful. I definitely recommend it! :)
ReplyDeleteit's a lovely color, i was looking for my next color ...i will definitely consider this! so pretty and romantic!
ReplyDeleteNIce is Nice by Essie is my new nail color obsession. It goes with every outfit; you'll love it.
ReplyDeleteHihi, it's so funny that two years ago noone would like to wear that nail color, but this summer everyone loves it. I also have it;)
ReplyDeletewiecejmumu
Amazingly, I love this color, especially on darker-skinned ladies. Unfortunately, it makes my nails look sickly.
ReplyDeleteI just moved and found out while packing that the nail polish colors I have are black, gray, silver and bright red. Slightly surprised and wondering what that says about me...
i just bought Lilacism a few weeks ago and i LOVE it. it's a perfect pastel lilac.
ReplyDeleteYour recent interest in nail polish might have something to do with this: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/economy/lipstick-theory-bodes-ill-for-us-retail/article2050904/
ReplyDeleteI have been wearing nothing but pastels this summer. I also have a new seafoam green color that I have been wearing on my toes. My nails are also lilac :) it is a very nice change to the brights.

love it! i'm gonna have to buy some....right now i have on a really light mint color and people are complimenting me right and left! must be the season for pastel nails! :-)
ReplyDeleteI have felt the impulse to buy a lot of lilac colored clothing lately... something lilac must be in the air.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely color!

I love an orangey colour for the summertime. Last week I bought the new Chanel Mimosa varnish but its not working for me, so my 2 year old Ruby is wearing it on her toes - Chanel at 2, whatever next !
ReplyDeleteOooo! I just bought this and wore it last week. It looks totally different if you put one coat on than two coats. It's like two in one!
ReplyDeleteI love finding new and fun polish colors. I am into the brights this summer. So far I have done purple, electric blue, and pink. Getting up the nerve for green and orange!
ReplyDeleteI love this color, I've been wearing it all week!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.littlemisscards.blogspot.com
beautiful colour!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.mirrorofmyworld.blogspot.com
I can't pick between baby blue and bright yellow! So I just change it every week :))) Both are such happy colors.
ReplyDeletemy incredibly fashionable roommate (that works for MAC and dresses in all black 5 days a week)has been sporting the same color lately and while i'd feel like a little girl with it on, she looks funky and cool! i like it!
ReplyDeleteI have a lavender color called "niece is niece" by essie. I love love LOVE it!!
ReplyDeletehttp://speakingfromthesole.blogspot.com
go for it!!
ReplyDeletei have it and get lots of complements when i wear it.
I love nail polishes and I'm constantly changing them. great color!
ReplyDeletewow I have never seen this colour is amazing... what do you think about grey ? I have seen it few days ago!
ReplyDeleteI am literally wearing it right now. And I must admit. I am obsessed with it!! I also love "absolutely shore" by Essie. Love.
ReplyDeleteI love that color. It's one of the few I can wear. Glad to hear it's looking popular =)

That's the color I'm wearing right now! I think it's a nice switch from seashell pinks, lush reds and neon. It's a great look for tan summer tootsies. It's delish when combined with blue jeans too. I didn't realize it was a trend, I just thought it looked fresh.
ReplyDeleteI wore that exact shade all last week! Loving it for summer. xo Lola
ReplyDeleteThis color is amazing. I picked it up a few months ago to try out and it has been on my nails ever since. (okay well i did take it off and sported baby pink nails for a week in there but other than that..) its such a great color :)
ReplyDeleteOPI has a GREAT lavender/lilac color called "tickle my francy!" You would like it!
ReplyDeleteI wore this shade at my wedding last summer! I think I had a hand in painting a few others hands the same shade that day. My bottle of Lilacism is kind of a mess because of it!
ReplyDeleteLove that color! So pretty and so different - I've never seen anything like that before!

Ooh, Emily of Cupcakes and Chasmere just recently did a post about almost the exact same color. She layered gold glitter on top and it was divine! You should check it out.
ReplyDeleteI think I just need to say thank you. I saw this color about a year ago and have been contemplating getting it for ages. I'm now ready to take the plunge. :)
ReplyDeleteI bought this one around easter and I loved it instantly, but I have not worn it again! I need to remedy that right away!
ReplyDeleteI've had "Nice is nice" by Essie on my toes for the past few weeks. It's fabulous. I'm typically a French pedicure kinda gal but I'm loving the lilac. It's sweet and fun. Joanna
ReplyDeletenatalie, thank you!!
ReplyDeleteI bought that exact color about a month ago, and every time I go to "change" my color, it ends up back on my nails! Definitely a favorite
ReplyDeleteHow funny! This really must be the new 'it' colour cos Emily from cupcakesandcashmere.com recently just blogged about this little nail colour combo: http://tinyurl.com/sparkledlilac
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely loving it!

i use this color yesterday ......
ReplyDeletei have had this color on my nails for a few weeks! i had no idea it was a trendy thing right now. people were complimenting me on it and i would just tell them, "oh..thanks...i just like purple..."
ReplyDeleteooh, such a fun reason to head to Target. thank you. loving the lilac hue. am recently in love with Sally Hansen brand complete salon manicure. it's really the quickest drying i've found. nail polish was never a fave until i turned into a mama and now i realize it's an instant gratification on days i'm feeling unpretty.
ReplyDeletep.s. thanks for your comment about the black out solution with black felt. it really does save the day. the felt is light-weight enough for a few pushpins and voila.. curtains! leave a package of pushpins in your baby's suitcase and you'll always be prepared. it's the best way to make a 'nursery' divider in hotel rooms and still stay up late and watch movies as a couple. xo.
Lacey Lilac by Sally Hansen is a good one too ; )
ReplyDeleteI have been wearing Essie's "Nice is Nice" on both my fingers and toes all week, I just LOVE the lilac! My husband can't stop raving about it, so I know it must be good. Come to think of it, I love Essie's entire line of "French" colors -- especially this one and "sand tropez". (Its a fantastic pale gray you should try!!)

ReplyDeletejust treated myself to a pedicure and remembered this post as I chose a color. I went with this exact color and am loving that I did. yay for pedicures! yay for lilac toes this summer!
