Normally I tend to go either super dark or beautifully Nude shades on my nails but when it comes to pretty Pastels, I turn all girly and quite frankly can't resist.
These Esteé Lauder Pure Colour Nail Lacquers in Lilac Leather and Narcissist* are two of five in Estée Lauders new collection, Heavy Petals.
The collection is made up of Narcissist, Lilac Leather, Coral Cult which is a beautiful Coral, Dilettante a fresh looking Aqua Teal shade and Absinthe which is quite a bright shade of Green, all pictured above from my Esteé Lauder Christmas post.
The shades have been influenced by Paris in Spring and Tom Pechuex, Estée Laduers Creative Make Up Director, took inspiration from the shades found in "amazing bouquets from the flower markets, the pretty pastels of children's carousels and the pops of colour from macaroons."
They're each boxed and packaged in beautiful, cubed, weighty glass bottles and I think they look so eye catching against the Gold lid.
I really like the finish of these polishes, although I must say they didn't dry as quick as I had hoped. I'm really lazy when it comes to my nails and although it wasn't unbearably long, they did take a minute or so longer that I would normally like, until I felt I could get on with things without smudging.
Two coats builds a beautifully opaque shade which I really like and I think these colours will be making an appearance on my nails quite often throughout Spring Summer, as will Coral Cult when I get my hands on it, I'm sure.
These Heavy Petals Pure Colour Nail Lacquers cost £14.50 each and are available on Estée Lauder counters now.
These are just beautiful! I don't normally go for high end nail products but these are gorgeous :)

I agree, I don't think it's always necessary to really spend more than £5 on a nail polish. However, these are just beautiful and the packaging is gorgeous!
