Les Lilac: Nail Pattern Boldness Elle La Vende Aire

I have assembled SOOOO many lilacs this spring, that it is really time to do a lilac themed week. I start with Nail Pattern Boldness Elle La Vende Aire - a lilac jelly with a slightly grey tone.



The two pictures above are taken indoors in daylight, below outdoors in the shade


and in artificial light:

This is your typicall jelly: I used three coats for the pictures above to achieve this amount of opacity. Isn't this a juicy, squishy lilac? The application was very easy. However, it might be advisable to wrap the tips as I found Nail Pattern Boldness Elle La Vende Aire prone to shrinkage. I used Essence XXL Nail Thickener as base coat and no top coat as it dries to this wonderful high shine.

I ordered Nail Pattern Boldness with Llarowe.

I look forward to reading your comments - thanks for visiting!!!
Christine

    1. Hi Natalia - please don't apologize - I was a bad follower for you too but I just don't know where to take the time to appropriately comment on your wonderful posts. Mind you, I am always awed with what you come up and I remain faithful and loyal to your Blog!!! I am getting better (at least it feels like this) and being back at work helps a ton. And what can I say, life throws us rocks and river in our path and it is upon us if and how we overcome them. I just know that people like you have helped me tremendously and comforted me beyond words - thank you for always being there for me xxx.

      And thanks so much for your sweet comment on this polish - just wish its name would be just a little bit shorter - LOL!!! Heaps of hugs and kisses - hope your family and your little one especially are doing well xxx
