As other reviews said the color in the bottle looks amazing, I thought I had found my perfect shade of light lavender. I applied it, very thin and difficult to get it to cover and not goop or be too thin in spots. Once I got it on it was beautiful..for 1 day. Then it oddly turns a muted baby blue gray color. Not attractive. I tried painting a base coat of white first too, didnt work. The really odd thing though is my fingernails changed color but my toenails stayed the same 🤔 Maybe the sunlight makes it change? Idk either way don't waste your time or money on this shade unless you only plan to wear it for a day at a time. Even then if I'm going to put in the effort to paint my nails (especially with pain in the butt polish) you better believe I want it to last more than a day. Just my two cents.

This is a grey-lilac in the bottle, but on my nails it turns to a blue.

This is a grey-lilac in the bottle, but on my nails it turns to a blue. It's also thin and watery, which makes it streaky. Even a third coat isn't fully opaque and is streaked. Some shades of Essie are watery and streaky in my experience, but this is the first one I've had that really looks like a different color on the nails. I like blue shades as well but this one is a bit dull and grey, it's just not attractive.

This was a fail for me.

This was a fail for me. This was my first Essie color and I did not liked it at all. It was streaky and such a pale color. Lavender is one my favorite colors. I love lavender clothes, shoes, headbands you name it, so when I saw this color I immediately fell in love with it. Looks lovely in the bottle but once you put it on strangely it turned to a pale blue color which is not pretty at all. I wanted to see that lovely lavender color in my nails and unfortunately never saw it.

I so wanted to like this because it is a great shade for transitioning from Winter to Spring, imo, and really is great for all Springtime. Just a lovely shade in the bottle and swatches online. But for me, this applies a streaky mess. I tried applying 3 light coats, letting each coat dry in between, and even tried other little 'tricks,' and each time this ended up uneven and streaky and sometimes even gloppy-looking. I have had luck with some of Essie's other shades, just this one for whatever reason was a fail for me. Maybe the bottle I got was old...? But I find Essie either applies really nicely for me or really streaky, and for me, this one was a hot mess. Even if it did work with one of the 'tricks' like applying 3 coats and letting each coat dry, I just am not one to fuss like that. To me that is a sign of a bad nail polish. Sorry. Just did not work for me. I would suggest if you like this shade check out the Sally Hansen Lacey Lilac or OPI You're Such A Budapest. They are not complete 'dupes,' but definitely in the same shade range, and ime apply and wear much better than this formula. It seems to me the cooler tones I have tried with Essie always end up streaky and/or gloppy-looking, while the warmer tones seem to work well for me (generally speaking). Funny, but I just realized that as I wrote this review. Probably just a coincidence!!! ;)

Lilacism is a beautiful pale lavender colour nail polish from Essie.

Lilacism is a beautiful pale lavender colour nail polish from Essie. It has a creme finish and the formula is very smooth and easy to apply. It is opaque in two coats and dried quickly. The colour is gorgeous, a cool-toned lilac/lavender colour that does not pull too grey. It does not make my fingers look pink either which is a bonus! The staying power was fantastic, a full week including 30 hours of air travel (Australia to Europe) without getting a single chip, even without the use of base or top coat! A beautiful colour with a great formula, if you like pastel or purple nail polishes, Lilacism is a must have!! A+
