My nails have been making all kinds of statements lately and I just felt like a change of pace.
Occasionally I crave a breather from brights and metallics and Revlon's Ooh La La Lilac is one of those gently subdued nail shades - just perfect for understated fingers. It's an ethereal colour, a milky sheer lilac with a hint of pink shimmer. Ooh La La Lilac was released as a LE shade back in 2011 (I think?) but it can still be snapped up on eBay if this is your kind of manicure. I needed three coats to build up the coverage for a not too sheer finish and I really liked the "breath of fresh air" prettiness of it. It's suitable for everyday wear but it conjures up images of sheer floaty dresses, ballerinas and blah, blah, blah - I'd better stop before I get too carried away in my daydreams!

Thanks for looking as always!
So spring-time pretty! This sort of shade looks marvelous with your skin tone but not so much on my yellowy skin.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I guess you gravitate more to beige and other warm toned neutrals - my skin tone sits right in the middle I think because I can (I think?) get away with warm and cool tones.
DeleteYep, I'm with Liz - can't really wear this kind of shade! But it's gorgeously fresh on you :) And I know what you mean about palate cleansers!
ReplyDeleteIt's almost a relief to wear easy colours - I don't have to think about colour clashes with the rest of my outfit or makeup and yes I can be that anal sometimes! Lol
DeletePretty and classic! I love shades like this!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it fresh? I'm sure I'd wear more of these kinds of colours if I wasn't a nail and beauty blogger! On the other hand maybe I could do a soft shades
