Mannequin Hands
A few weeks ago I was sent this polish from E.L.F. in Innocent and didn't really think a lot of it. It's a difficult colour to describe (a creamy greyish pink neutral?) and it didn't really stand out. Nevertheless, as I was well overdue to get my gel nail infills I decided to give it a go in an attempt to mask the re-growth.
I can't believe I was so dismissive! The colour is gorgeous and is a perfect nude for my skintone - not too beige/ yellow and not too dark. It applied smoothly and topped with my trusty Seche Vite dried quickly to a lovely even finish.

I can't comment on the chipping as with gel nails most polishes last much longer, but there was minimal wear at the tips, as you can see in this photo, which was taken after 6 days of wear.

That colour looks like a great nude. They are such a bargain, loving the look of Mango Madness, yum!
ReplyDeleteI've only ever bought 1 nail polish from E.L.F. and it was completely different from the swatch :( so many people have recommended them though so I might give them another go. I'm not sure about the plastic drips they put on some bottles...it's a bit weird, but kind of cute/quirky! xxx

Innocent looks amazing!!
ReplyDeleteI've bought Mango Madness because I thought the colour was so gorgeous, and it is, but it's also really streaky, I need 3+ coats to get a decent coverage...

I have tried quite a lot of their polishes, I really like purple pleaser nice for autumn.
