NOTD : H&M Bella's Choice, Plus - ELF Polishes

Evening Ladies :) I would have had this post up way ealier but blogger wasn't letting me upload my pictures... moving on...

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?

    I've got a lot of those ELF polishes. They are pretty but have a tendency to chip fast. I'm following you,

  2. Hey Susie, thanks a lot :) I have been following your blog for a while now.

    I 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!

  4. KarenD - 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 :)
