Essie St Lucia Lilac is So Very Pretty

When were finally packing up to come home from holidays, it was time for a fresh mani. I'd been reading about pastels for spring over here so when I found this sweet little Essie double pack with sweet mini bottles of Essie St Lucia Lilac and Jazz. I knew it had to be mine. I've been obsessing about Essie Absolutely Shore for awhile, and seeing as how I have yet to find it in an actual store & it's not available online....If any of you know of a dupe for it let me know! Da Bush from Fall 2011 looks like a contender and my search continues. So pastel nails are my new thing. Not even halfway through January and I am already feeling Spring 2012....

St Lucia Lilac is a soft powdery lavender/lilac shade and Jazz is a nude shade. Although, different enough from my other nudes that I don't feel it is, ahem, redundant. I guess I'd say it has a grey tone to it vs pink. Can't wait to try it. I can't find these little boxed sets online anywhere but I found mine at Walgreens. There were a couple sets with two minis as "Essie's Favorites" or something similar...
