Hooray! New Sally Hansen Xtreme wear colors for Fall 2010! The Xtreme wear line is by far my favorite drugstore line of nail polish. Fairly inexpensive and trendy colors with new releases a couple of times a year. Not much to complain about!
Mystic Lilac didn’t disappoint. It is a dusty lilac with aqua microglitter. It sounds ugly, but it is SO PRETTY! Even as a creme I would love this, but the aqua microglitter adds such an interesting dimension to this polish.
The aqua microglitter is quite subtle. From a distance it just adds a little sparkle to the polish, but up close (even in indoor lighting) it’s very obvious that the microglitter is the aqua color.
My only complaint about this polish is the application. Generally application of Xtreme Wear polishes is very good, but this polish is very thin. I had to use four coats in order to get opaque coverage.
The only place I’ve seen a display of these new colors is at Ulta. Usually Wal-Greens gets them, so hopefully they’ll be popping up at Wal-Greens soon. The good news is Sally Hansen usually incorporates their new colors into their permanent collection. So even if you don’t manage to find one of the new displays, not all hope is lost 
Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

wow this is beautiful! It seems like greyish nail polishes with purple shimmer are totally setting the trend this fall!
They seem to be popping up everywhere! The aqua microglitter in this polish makes it so unique yet on trend. Love it!
I saw this in the store this weekend and passed it up, I’m definitely going back!
It’s definitely worth picking up. So pretty

[...] Overall, I’m just not a fan of these Sally Hansen polishes with the bar glitter. The winner (and really a must have) from this collection is Mystic Lilac. [...]
