This is the first disappointment I've had with RBL polishes. Personally the colour wasn't for me - too bubblegum. I expected there to be more lilac in this. But others might love it!
The real disappointment was the formula - the worst!!! Thick, yet streaky. It was like trying to spread marshmallow fluff on my nails!!! Huge disappointment and a waste of money.

So I bought this color for my mom on Christmas and I let her open it, but I don't think she's seen it since. I LOVE this color! It's so pretty and simple. I feel elegant and classy when I wear it and it matches almost everything in my closet.
Maybe next year I'll get my mom something for her instead of me :)

This isn't your bright 'Barbie' pink, however, I see this as a color that is more matures (and work appropriate!). I'm not a huge pink fan, I tend to gravitate towards blues, but this color is simply gorgeous. Love it!

Not "lilac" as I think of it, but still pretty!, 1.14.2010

Ever since I saw Rescue Beauty Lounge's Smitten in Ji Baek's book I have been "smitten" with it. I don't usually like girly pinks but for some reason I just had to have this one.
Color
Ji Baek describes this as "Lilac" in her book, which really threw me off. I usually think of "lilac" as being a purple color. Yes, I know lilacs come in pink too (I have one in my back yard) and a variety of other colors. Anyway, this to me is more of a cross between "bubble gum" and "Barbie". It's "little girl" pink, and that's not usually something I'm comfortable wearing. I don't think I am comfortable wearing Smitten.
Application
This was a pain. Maybe it's just my bottle, but the formula felt sluggish and uneaven when going on, almost like old polish. I was happy, at least, that once dry it didn't look like pink concrete. I used 3 layers to even this one out, and I'm still not totally happy with it.
Wear
Wonderful, actually.

2 coats and you'll be 'Smitten', too!, 12.22.2009

This is truly, as Ji stated in her book, a neutral color! Yes, it is a pinky lilac with some punch, but on my nails against my very pale skintone it somehow blends beautifully and makes my hands look clean and 'done'. I found application a bit tricky; it seems like this color is loaded with pigment in perhaps a whitish base. After the second coat any hint of streaks were gone though, and I am thrilled with the look of Smitten! Because it's in the pink/lilac spectrum you'd think it was girly and frou-frou. Not so! It's actually a very hip, classic look. Nice. Very nice!
