Nail of the week (probably next 2 weeks too...), just cos I don't change my nail colour very often. I'm lazy!
Absolutely ing this colour! :) Such a calm and pleasant colour.
Pros:
-Only 2 coats needed
-Dries quickly to a shiny finish even without a top coat! (But of course, with a top coat the shine stays on longer)
-Consistency is thin but has great pigmentation
-Very easy to work with
-Small brush gives a more precise application (this however, MUST come with great consistency otherwise, if the consistency is too thick or the polish dries too quickly, small brushes are a pain in the butt to work with)
-Great for any occasion, season and functions.
Cons:

Cons:
Initially, my only complain was the small brush but once I started to do all my nails and noticed how little mistakes (polish on cuticles and fingers) I made as how I usually would make a lot, the small brush is actually not a bad thing so no cons! :)
* 19 June 2010 - I realise this doesn't stay on very well. It chipped at the 2nd day. I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with the base coat because I have worn other nail polishes which lasted longer than this, even with the same base coat.

Periwinkle is such a girly color. For some reason, it really reminds me of Easter!

...and everything girly under the sun!
I've never celebrated Ester, but I'm guessing maybe it's because it's a pastel colour? I do tend to see lots of pastel colours on decorated Easter eggs :)
I love periwinkle! Sadly I can't pull the color off, haha. Its looks lovely on your nails dear.
I use razors for my eyebrows all the time...Only ONE mishap *touch wood* thru the years lllarrrr
