I'm having a lavender and lilac moment. I can't pinpoint the exact point of origin that started this purple haze craze for me, but MAC Lavender Jade lipstick (from the Bao Bao Wan collection), Clinique Pansy Pop Cheek Pop Blush, and NARS Années Folles Larger Than Life Lipgloss were 3 of the first beauties that had tiny (lilac) hearts floating above my head.
What's on your nails right now?
What was your last color addiction?

I cannot tell you how MANY times I've nearly bought this polish! I've literally had the bottle in the palm of my hand! I'm in the mood for a polish purchase so I might just go ahead and buy some because I have such a weakness for this colour and it's so flattering!
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty! And I love that photo of you and the mister at the background. So sweet :-)
ReplyDeleteOOO this is a BEAUTY! Love the photos here as well, Kristen! I hope your mama will love it, too :)
ReplyDeleteI am having a bit of a lilac moment myself and Splash of Grenadine looks beautiful.
ReplyDeletePlease, tell me you have Playdate from Essie- it's my all time favorite lilac purple.
This color is amazing! I love bold and bright colors like this. I'm going through a dusty blue phase myself. (;

Beautiful, Kristen! I have been loving this kind of shade, too. And that photo of you and the Mr. is so lovely :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE that pic of you two! I want one! :)
ReplyDeletePerfect shade on your nails! It's springy and pretty LIKE YOU. xx
I want it!!!! It's been on my list for ages, but I can never find it in store. Your pictures are beautiful
ReplyDeleteGaelle, you need it! Maybe you can finally find it online? We searched stores all over town and gave up! And thank you, by the way!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tracy! I will send you one! I'm not even joking! :D
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your sweet words! You are such a peach patty! Mucho love to you!
Thank you, Larie! I love that picture; every time I see it, it's April 26th, 2014 again and I'm high on wedding waves, lol!
ReplyDeleteI went through a dusty blue phase myself a few years ago, Kiki! I had every dusty blue I could find! It's such a fun color. Splash of Grenadine is one of the only colors I like equally on my toes and hands. Usually I have to go darker on the toes b/c lighter colors make my feet look red (to me)! No likey! Splash is perfect!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Xuvious! Thanks for making me fall in love with it again enough to hunt it down online and finally purchase it! The color is just pure happiness!
ReplyDeleteOoh fun! What else lilac have you gotten into? I bet all purples look great on you being a cool blonde and all! I do not have Playdate but I pick it up at the Essie display every time I see it! Buying it next time! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sunny! My mama did love it! It's a universally flattering super star! :)
ReplyDeleteAw! Thanks so much, Lily! Our 1 year wedding anniversary is Sunday, so I thought it might be fun to photobomb this post with that memory, lol!
ReplyDeleteGirlfriend, buy the polish! It would look fabulous on you! I'd love to see if if you do end up picking it up!
ReplyDeleteI have this one! It looks perfect on you!
ReplyDeleteWhen it came out as a part of a summer collection, I bought the whole set. One of the best color selections from Essie, in my opinion. :)
Pantone Orchid! Lovely pick and love the matching flowers. Everyone is sporting such nice manis - I gotta buckle down and paint mah nails TONIGHT!
ReplyDeleteIronically I painted my toes pale pink last week and I cannot stand it. It's too fleshy against my pale skin. I cannot wait to change it to something more bold. What was I thinking? lol
ReplyDeleteGurl frand you know I'm on that lilac/lavender tip with you! This is a gorgeous color, your nails look great in the photos! I'm planning on grabbing NYX's lavender lipstick to fill Coven's void... Still on the hunt for a lilac bag, although I've always wanted a super matte-black one... That is my other color addiction for life; matte black... But LILAC right now is killing me.
ReplyDeleteMuch LOVE!
I know! We're having a mutual lilac/lavender moment! :D I wish you luck in your hunt for the NYX lavender lipstick and purse and possibly a matte black one, too, LOL!
ReplyDeleteBuckle down, Liz! Show us what you're working with! ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lena! I agree, this whole set is perfection. LOL, I hope your super dark nails help flick the NYC weather fright train back to November where it belongs! My friend is getting married in Brooklyn (where she lives) this August and I'm so excited to visit NY for the first time! Any must do's for a first timer? My husband is originally from NY (Albany, though, not NYC) but he's only been to the city a handful of times. So excited!
ReplyDeleteKiki! I am cosigning this whole pale pink toe nail comment! I always think it's going to look so good and it just looks AWFUL against my skin! It brings out skin redness I never knew was there and makes my feet look janky! Bold toenails all the way!
ReplyDeleteThat's exciting! If in Brooklyn, definitely check out Williamsburg and some food fairs. Downtown NY near Freedom Tower and Brookfield Place on the water front would be easy to access from Brooklyn, too. You might want to take a short cruise (no more than 45 minutes, which is unnecessary and boring, imo). And museums! :)
ReplyDeleteI switched it last night to Wife Goes on by Essie. (;
