Its finally the weekend. Summer is here! too bad there's no sun here in Vancouver, Canada =(
As iI said on my previous post that i will be doing Elf nail polish swatches. Here it is now! Hope you guys enjoy this post.
Please excuse my ugly fingers. =) I need some pampering ASAP!
Elf polishes from L-R: Mint Cream, Bubblegum Pink, Lilac.
I wish Elf would give them fun names. Maybe like, Give Me Mint , Oh Pink Me Please!, Lilac My Toes.
LAME?!?! hahaha! just a thought. Sorry for the dent on my pointer, I was trying to remove my press ons and I used a knife to scrape it of. lol! yeap thats what happens if you use a knife to scrape off the excess glue on your nails! lol
oh and these are not a dupe for the elf polishes, I just made a comaprison.
Nail polish comaprison: (L-R): OPI Strawberry Margarita, Elf Bubblegum Pink, Sally Hansen I Pink I Can.
As you guys can see, Elf Bubblegum Pink is cooler tones compared to SH I pink I can. I think I still like SH tho. oh OPI Starwberry Margarita is still the best pink I own. for now =D
From( L-R): OPI Rumples Wiggin', ELF Lilac, OPI A Grape FitI applied 4 coats on the ELF one! 4 coats!! wow!! , but its pretty!, Its defenitely darker than OPI Rumples Wiggin.
From (L-R): China Glaze For Aubrey, Elf Mint Cream, Revlon Minted
I also applied 4 coats for this one!! not good! It is a nice dupe for Revlon Minted tho as you guys can see. Revlon Minted has more green undertoned tho compared to Elf Mint Cream.
EDIT-My Thoughts:
I didn't expect a lot from Elf polishes, but I was pretty impressed. I mean for a dollar? where would you find such?? I needed 4 coats to apply these three babies, which is not a good thing. The lids of these polishes are quite awkward because when you close the polish, the lid seems to be weird. What I mean is that when you close the polish, air can still come in, because the lid is kind off blah! you know what I mean? Air coming in is a no no especially with nail polishes because it will dry up quickly! not good
all in all, I like the products, but the lid bothers me and 4 coats???
I'll give this a 7/10
Random: This is my NOTD- OPI lincoln Park at Midnight. Just sharingAre you guys enjoying your summer vacation? time for some shopping and pampering!!

Wow, those polishes are super pretty! I have Revlon in Minted and it requires 3 coats, it sucks -_- But it's quite similar to th eone from ELF.
ReplyDeleteDon't you think shipping fees are insanely high for us Canadians? I won a $25 gift card some times ago but I gave it away because I didn't want to pay $16 in shipping -_-
I'm following =D

I haven't tried any of the ELF nail polishes, but I've heard good things about them. The colors you picked out are probably the same colors I would've picked out. lol I can't believe you put 4 coats on of that Lilac color! hahah The colors looks pretty nice though. I should probably pick up some next time. =] I have been looking everywhere for that China Glaze For Audrey nail polish. Can't find it anywhere. The color is soooo pretty.
ReplyDeletei am soo happy that you posted this! i was thinking about getting some things from elf and wasn't sure on what to try first. i LOVE that lilac color. it's the shade i've been looking for, i don't even care if it takes four coats! :) thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteThe colour combinations, I LOVE ^^
