Les Lilacs: Picture Polish Wisteria

You did not think you would get around a Picture Polish this week - did you? Today I have Picture Polish Wisteria for you - it was one of those shades that I added and then deleted from my cart several times - well, sometimes I wonder, why it takes me so long to get a certain polish and this was one of them:



The above two pictures are taken indoors in daylight, the below photo in artificial light


I applied two wonderfully creamy and easy to apply coats of Picture Polish Wisteria over Essence XXL Nail Thickener. The formula is (as I have gotten SOOOO used with Picture Polish) a breeze to work with, while very pigmented and creamy it is still easily distributed on the nail and has excellent selfleveling qualities. I could literally see the unevenness on one of my nails blending away (if you know what I mean).

This is the THIRD lilac cream I have shown you so far this week and for those of you who patiently came back now every day, I thought it might be interesting to see how these three compare.

and here as they show on the nail:

I applied two coats of each polish over Essence XXL Nail Thickener. I think from the picture above it is very clear that the Picture Polish and the Nfu Oh are close but "extended family" - for me a good enough reason to own both ;-)!!! Clearly Cult Nails Love At First Sight is a very different story and has considerably less blue in it.

Which one would be YOUR favorite out of those three? Or would you (like me) go for all three?

I order my Picture Polish from several sources: Harlow & Co., Llarowe and Pshiiit Boutique to name my three favorites.

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

    1. Hi Essie, we thought along the same lines - after having swatched through the three creams I went like hmmmm are they now all dupes??? Glad that you liked it <3. my favorites are Wisteria and the Nfu Oh - I like the blue toned lilacs a tad better against my skintone - thank you for your lovely comment xxx
