Flower Polish - I Lavendare You

I received this polish in my Allure Summer Beauty box and finally got around to trying it a few weeks ago.  It's part of the Flower Beauty brand by Drew Barrymore and is the first product I've tried from this line.  The nail polish is 3-free, retails for $4.98, and I believe it's available exclusively at Walmart.

Indoors, Natural & Overhead Light

I Lavendare You is a very pale lavender polish that tends to look pink in most lights.  It has a slight shimmer to it but it was more noticeable in the bottle than on the nail.

The polish itself was nice, though it did take three coats for full coverage.  The handle of the bottle is square so that did make it a bit tricky to hold onto, as cute as some nail polish bottles are I really wish companies would stick to a round handle.

Outside, Shade

I wore this polish for 5 days before I saw any chipping and since it's so light in color tipwear wasn't very noticeable.  I was a little bored after a couple of days so I added an accent nail to my ring finger by adding 2 coats of OPI's Pirouette My Whistle which is one of my all time favorite glitters to use on top of other polishes.

Indoors, Natural Light

I skipped the coat of Nailtiques on this mani since I was expecting I might need 3 coats of polish, so all pictures are a basecoat of  Essie's Grow Stronger, 3 coats of polish, and a top coat of NYC In a New York Minute in Grand Central Station.  (This was my last use from my almost empty bottle of the NYC before trying the Seche Vite top coat I used in my Fourth of July mani.)
