So you saw my hauls yesterday and one thing I totally forgot to include was (crappy) cell pics of the warehouse where I got the polish for 50 cents. Unfortunately, I am having problems getting the pics off my new phone, I hope to have them up soon.
Also, my sister ordered some makeup from ELF so I decided to try out their polish, this came last night:
ELF - Passion Pink, Fire Coral, Desert Haze, Mod Mauve
On to my NOTD, I got this beauty from H&M last night. I loved it when I saw it on the blogs a while back, but for some reason in person it didn't "wow" me as much, but have been the lighting. I decided to buy it anyway, and I am really glad I did! During application I was already in love!
I cut my nails short!
Window, daylight
Now, the actual application was another story all together, it was a pain to apply; streaky, thick (even after adding thinner) and the brush sucked. But having completed it in only 2 coats and the final colour was worth it. It took longer than usual to clean up because of the brush, but next time I will see if more thinner will help with application. Another plus was that it dried pretty fast, I applied this after 10pm last night and was in bed before 12 :) no sheet marks!
What do you think of the colour? Canadian Readers - will you be buying any of the H&M polishes now that they are available?
Very pretty. Love your nails.
ReplyDeleteI've got a lot of those ELF polishes. They are pretty but have a tendency to chip fast. I'm following you,

Hey Susie, thanks a lot :) I have been following your blog for a while now.
ReplyDeleteI quickly swatched the ELF polishes on some fake nails and the colours are okay, the Brushes are a little weird, I hope they don't chip too soon!
I've got that H&M in my untrieds thanks to a kind swapper overseas. It looks good on you, and I like your new nail length, too!
ReplyDeleteKarenD - lol thanks for noticing. I had a chipped nail on on my right hand and cut them down a bit, my right nails are 1 or 2 mm shorter, but I didn't do that purposely! oh well, they will grow back longer and stronger in time for my vacation at the end of july :)
ReplyDeleteOh I've heard H&M are good... I love seeing these polishes I can't get in the states.
ReplyDeleteI need to remind myself to check it out when I go to a mall. Though I wish we would get those awesome HM holos here. I would RUN to the store then :P
ReplyDeletePharma plus sales always start on Saturdays. but the ones I posted are for two weeks. so they started last saturday, and we should have another week left. gotta stalk out obscure PPs for sallys now :P

Yea! i think that is it! they had China Glazes for $4.99, now they went up to $5.99, OPI's used to be $6.99 now they are $7.99. They went up recently, maybe a couple of months ago, i should have stocked up before the price change :(
