I love this elegant lilac colour. It isn't overpowering but, if given the right outfit, it could be a statement 'accessory'. Two coats of this polish will give you the colour as seen in the bottle. It is free of all nasties (Formaldehyde, Dibutylphthalate/DBP, Toluene and Camphor) and dries relatively fast. My manicure lasted 3-4 days with a top coat (Tip Top's Quick repair top coat).
