Sally Hansen: Mystic Lilac (*Thank you Tamara!)


I was intending to do more China Glaze Holiday swatches but we had no sun this week so we'll have to wait until next week for that. Sorry!

A few weeks back Tamara of MochaMishMash held a Sally Hansen Mystic Lilac giveaway and I won! I was so excited because I could not find this color anywhere. So I thought I would share it with you today:

Mystic Lilac is a gorgeous grayed out lilac color with sort of irridessent or silver microshimmer. I am not sure, it's difficult to describe. It's a great sort of "edgy" neutral because it's not in your face; it's understated yet unique. I really like this color a lot.

As far as the formula is concerned it's not the best in the World but is is much much better than some of the other Xtreme Wear lacquers I have tried. I found it much easier to apply than usual but it does dry rather quickly in my opinion so it can gunk up the sides of the bottle a bit if you don't work quickly.

On to the photos. I apologize in advance, my hands were very dry that day.





So are you a fan? Have you seen this in your drug stores?

I love this polish so much! I actually have a back up even haha. My original bottle is very weird application wise but hopefully the second bottle will be better. I've already worn this twice, so pretty.

Glad you loved the color. I'll admit the formulas not the best, but the beautiful color kind of makes up for it. It would be nice if SH would have made Mystic Lilac with the Complete Manicure formula instead.
