Manicure Wednesday: Royal Lilac

On My Nails Vogue Cosmetics Nail Polish in 25

Purple used to be my favourite colour. Given the choice, I would always pick this shade, whatever the variation of tone it was in. Dare I remind you that my old room (at my parent’s house) used to be this dark purple shade with leopard accents? LOL. As you can probably guess I pretty much overdosed on this colour after spending 6 years between purple walls. Since then, I gave away every purple item I ever owned, I moved into an apartment where my bedroom walls are white and for the longest time, I swore I would never wear purple again. The picture above goes to show that you should never say never! Life can’t always be a purple rain (so bad…lol)!

I picked up this nail polish while waiting in line at the dollar store. The great shade selection and the incredibly low price made me curious enough to see if it would hold up quality wise. Along with this gorgeous lilac shade, I picked up a great turquoise that looks a lot like Essie’s Turquoise & Caicos and a great neutral taupe. After trying out each of the shade, I could have been more pleased with the result. The polish has staying power, absolutely no streaking and doesn’t leave a stain on my nails after I take it off. At this price, the great thing is that I won’t even feel guilty picking up some other shades.
