Lilacism was originally released as part of Essie’s 2010 The Art of Spring collection and is now part of their permanent line. Essie describe it as “whisper-soft satiny smooth lilac”. 'Lilac’ seems...

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...

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...

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,...

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...

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...

I love this so much I've had to re-purchase after a couple of months. Unlike some Essie colours you do need to apply three thin coats to get the desired creamy pastel effect - but it's worth...

Not sure why the overall rating for this isn't higher! Beautiful color, glossy formula, opaque in 3 thin coats.

I get compliments on this every time I wear it. It's such a pretty bluish purple. It takes me three thin coats to be opaque and has good wear time (I use seche vite base and top coat). I feel like...

Very pretty lilac colour. It is light, but manages to stay away from babyish. The polish dries very quickly, and lasts well. My inky complaint is with the width of the brush.

In the spirit of Pantones Colour of 2014 { Radiant Orchid}, I purchased this colour. So far, loving it. Very unusual & opaque in 2 coats but the more you apply, the better the colour...

While this is a very pretty color, I find the formula to be not so great, with streaky application and polish that gets lumpy if you don't immediately brush it out onto your nail. It's a little...

My mom was the one that bought this polish, and she didn't like it so she gave it to me. I think Essie is way overpriced ranging from 8-9 dollars depending on where you go. I had to paint this in...

This isn't the lovely lilac-lavender nail polish the Google image swatches led me to believe it was. I was honestly expecting a true, bright lilac. 2-3 coats later and it's a muted blue-grey shade...

As a milky pastel purple, Lilacism took me three coats to get it completely opaque. It was fairly streaky for me. As an Essie Nail polish, I was partially disappointed in this color. It was fairly...

It's a pretty lilac color in the bottle but in some lighting it can appear blue. I don't like that but in the sunlight it's a pretty purple color

I wouldn't call Lilacism a true lilac color: it's a very pale lavender with a lot of blue and gray. In some lights it even looks more blue than purple. The lightness and creme finish make Lilacism...

This is my first Essie polish and I bought this since I heard it would be a dupe of OPI's Rumples Wiggins or Done Out in Deco. This polish seems to have a grey undertone and I don't seem to reach...
