Hey guys! I am feeling much better today! So I have another post for you guys today! I did these a few weeks ago actually, but they kind of hide themselves in all of the folders on my computer. I used all e.l.f. nail polishes for this design! I will listen them all below and give a brief descripition of how I did it!

Oh and I should have another post tomorrow, and one that I'm very excited about! Tomorrow is the Lacquer Legion's day for their lucky prompt. I'm actually painting them right now! I am going to paint my good luck charm on my nails. But that is all I'm going to say for now!

For this design I used e.l.f Pot of Gold for my base for all of my nails. Then I put striping tape done on my middle and ring finger and filled in with different colors! You have to be careful to not go over the tape, and into another section but I think its pretty easy. Then I took the striping tape off. For the gradient colors I used e.l.f. Sunflower, Mango Madness, Flirty Fuchsia, and Electric Fuchsia! I topped them off with Seche Vite Top Coat. You can buy all of these nail polishes here.

Thanks for reading and have a great day! Make sure you get your nails ready for tomorrow's prompt!

Hey! Today I have 8 new elf polishes for you! The set originally came with 12 but I have already made another post on 4 of them. If you want to see Gina Girl, Sea Escape, Nude, and/or Smokin Hot' go here.

Wedding Bells:

Wedding Bells is a very light pink. The formula was good and I love this color. It is so subtle and pretty. I did have to use 4 coats though. But that is pretty expected for a polish as light as this one. Here is 4 coats with no top coat.

Gold Star:

Gold Star is a clear base with small and large gold hexagonal glitters. I put this one over Wedding Bells. This glitter is really pretty but the glitter is kind of sparse. Here is 2 coats over 4 coats of Wedding Bells with no top coat.

Desert Haze:

Desert Haze is a darker tan or a light brown. The formula of this color is pretty good but the color is kind of blah. But its always good to have more nudes. Here is 2 coats without top coat.

Prissy Chrissy:

Prissy Chrissy is a light brownish orange. This color is unlike anything that I have in my collection. Its one of my favorites of the set actually. I love oranges and this is a great halloween color. The formula is great too. Here is 2 coats without top coat.

Blush:

Blush is a light bronze foil. This is other one that I really don't have anything like it. The formula is good. Here is 2 coats without top coat.

Raspberry Sorbet:

Raspberry Sorbet is a dark pink creme. The name is actually perfect for this one because it is a lot like a raspberry color. The formula is good and the color is really vibrant. Here is 2 coats without top coat.

Purple Pleaser:

Purple Pleaser is your typical plum creme. I like this color but its not very original. The formula is pretty good. Here is 2 coats without top coat.

Purple Dream:

Purple Dream is a purple and pink shimmer. Honestly, I have at least 3 polishes exactly like this one. But its still pretty. Here is 2 coats without top coat.

So what are your thoughts on these pretty polishes? Let me know in the comments below! Thanks for reading.

2013 elf swatches

Wednesday, October 9, 2013

Hi there. I got up at 2 in the afternoon today. I have been sleeping about 14 hours every day for the past two weeks. I have also been super weak and dizzy. So I'm going in to get my blood tested on Friday. The people who I have talked to seem to think that I don't have enough vitamins in my body. So for now I'm just taking some vitamins to see if that gives me energy.

I got the ELF Disney Villians set at Walgreens yesterday. It has 12 polishes in it for 10 dollars. So its a great deal! I already have 4 of the polishes though. But 8 new polishes for 10 is alright too. Here is my review and swatches of the 12 polishes.

There is supposed to be 3 polishes in the Cruella De Vil side, but one of them turned on me, and I couldn't get it visible. But no worries, I still have the swatches and everything. Cruella De Vil is from 101 Dalmations. The Cruella De Vil collection includes Nude, Smokin' Hot, and Smoky Brown.

Nude:

Nude is a tan color with a hint of beige. This is one of the polishes that I already have but I love it all the same. Nude has actually been one of my favorite nude polishes for a while now. The formula is amazing. It goes on in 2 coats and has no issues. Here is two coats and no top coat.

Polish Info:
Brand: Elf
Name: Nude
Finish: Creme
Collection: Disney Villians: Cruella De Vil

Smokin' Hot:

Smokin' Hot is your typical red creme. I like it a lot but it's not really too special. The formula is good. It has no issues and goes on in two coats. Here is two coats and no top coat.

Polish Info:

Brand: Elf

Name: Smokin' Hot

Finish: Creme

Collection: Elf Disney Villians: Cruella De Vil

Smoky Brown:

Smoky Brown is dark brown. I like this color a lot, because it has a lot of depth for a brown. The formula is great and it goes on in two coats. Here is two coats with no top coat.

Polish Info:

Brand: Elf

Name: Smoky Brown

Finish: Creme

Collection: Elf Disney Villians: Cruella De Vil

Ursula is from Little Mermaid! This collection includes Coral Dream, Mint Cream, and Sea Escape.

Coral Dream:

Coral Dream is a pinkish orange. I wouldn't call it coral because it is way more on the orange side. The formula is good and it goes on in two coats. Here is two coats with no top coat.

Polish Info:

Brand: Elf

Name: Coral Dream

Finish: Creme

Collection: Elf Disney Villians: Ursula

Mint Cream:

Polish Info:

Brand: Elf

Name: Mint Cream

Finish: Creme

Collection: Elf Disney Villians: Ursula

Sea Escape:

Sea Escape is a very dark blue with some lighter blue shimmer. This one of those polishes that it is beautiful in the bottle, but no really on your fingers. I'm not a huge fan but its alright. The formula is good and it goes on in two coats. Here is two coats with no top coat.

Polish Info:

Brand: Elf

Name: Sea Escape

Finish: Shimmer

Collection: Elf Disney Villians: Ursula

Evil Queen is from Snow White. The collection includes Pot Of Gold, Cranberry, and Thunder Storm.

Pot Of Gold:

Pot Of Gold is a gold foil. This polish is a complete dupe of Julie G ornamental. Like they look completely alike. So that is why I love this one! It is super pretty. The formula is great and it goes on in two coats. Here is two coats with no top coat.

Polish Info:

Name: Pot Of Gold

Maleficent is from Sleeping Beauty. Its a good thing that I don't have to speak, because I have no clue how to say her name. This collection includes Bubble Gum Pink, Mod Mauve, and Gina Girl.

Bubble Gum Pink:

Bubble Gum Pink is your typical hot pink. I like it because it has some depth to it that I didn't expect. The formula is great and it goes on in two coats. Here is two coats with no topcoat.

Collection: Elf Disney Villians: Maleficent

Gina Girl:

Gina Girl is a clear base with purple, orange big hexagons and yellow, red, and green small ones. This polish is my favorite. It suprised me. If you look at the bottle it looks like a black creme with the glitter. But nope, its pretty clear. Even though there is hint of grey color to the base. It also suprised me by drying matte. The formula is great and there is lots of glitter. Here is two coats over Sinful Colors Black on Black with no topcoat.
