Models Own: Lilac Dream

How awesome is this color?  I have to admit, I wasn't that exited about this shade when I saw it on swatches because it looked too pink.  But once I got it on, I love it!  It is on the pink side of lilac, but it's very flattering.  Some lilacs tend to look dusty and that makes your skin look pale, but this is vibrant and warm.  This is 2 coats Models Own Lilac Dream with Milani Hi-Res for the dots.  Topped with 2 coats Seche Vite.  Application was very smooth and easy, great coverage, no cuticle drag.  Very dreamy if I do say so myself.  And to top it all off, this pic is after 4 days of wear.  There's some tip wear, but no chipping.  Pretty darn good.  I will definitely go to this color again soon.

I am going through some stuff.  Some pretty major stuff.  I really don't know what to do or how to feel or when it's going to end.  Some days are better than others.  And I guess I know it will eventually get better because it always does.  But at the moment, I don't see a light at the end of this tunnel and frankly I don't know if I want to.  I'm depressed and numb at the same time.  But I have to distract myself and keep going.  So I'm trying to keep going.  Sorry in advance...

Anyway, I went to Ulta this past weekend because I had to get out of the house and I had a coupon for two free "salon" polishes... basically the Essie, OPI, China Glaze, etc... So I picked up two of those and a few other things.  I got the new Essie minis for their new collection.  They look super cute, so look out for them.  I also picked up the Essence stampy set because I am wanting Konad, but haven't gotten it yet.

This is 3 coats of Essence No More Drama from the Colour & Go collection.  Then I stamped with OPI Dim Sum Plum on just the ring and thumb.  You can tell I started with this ring finger.  Fail-ish... but not too terrible.  I really like this one actually.  I think it's nice and spring-like.  Something to look at to brighten my mood a little.
