I've got a fairly short post for you all today... heck, it's not even long enough for a page jump to be inserted!!
Happy? Sad? YOLO!!
(I don't even know if that's an appropriate usage of 'YOLO'... makes me feel old that I don't completely understand the hip tween lingo #headhangofshame)
I feel like e.l.f. gets a bad rap (chicka-what?? ...that was a rap noise and my attempt at humor #sorry).
And while I can understand the hate e.l.f. receives (some of their products are a little less than stellar) I really don't understand the hate as a whole; their products are dirt cheap so you should pretty much know going into your purchase that you're not paying for quality comparable to tarte or NARS.
Heck, I even got this nail polish for free in one of my online orders almost a year ago!!
So, here's my two cents:
Considering this polish is a year old (even some O.P.I. polishes get gloopy after being shelved for that long), cost me absolutely nothing (and even if it did, e.l.f. polishes retail for only $2), and has lasted four days on my nails with VERY minimal wear-and-tear, I'd say e.l.f. has another winning product in my book.
Fair Pink is a creamy baby pink that is neither cool nor warm toned; it's right in the middle of the tonal spectrum so I think it would suit pretty much any skin color. It goes on a little streaky and requires three coats for nearly full opacity but adding a good top coat while the polish is still a little wet takes away streaks and I find that the amount of opacity is perfect for creating a really minimally clean and sophisticated looking nail.
How do you feel about e.l.f. nail polishes?
How about e.l.f. in general?
Any other colors from e.l.f. that I need to check out?
Do share!!

I don't have an opinion on elf yet since I haven't triend their products. I ordered some products and they haven't arrived so I'm excited to see what they're like. x
ReplyDeleteI like Elf - not all their products, but I've found a few good ones. I love their eye shadow quad in butternut. Love one of their lip glosses in baby lips. I have two nail polishes that I bought at Target (limited edition), but haven't used them yet. They are xmas colors so .. next month!

Perla: Yay, a fellow e.l.f. lover!! Definitely try out their polishes; even though they're a bit sheer they wear really well and have a great shelf life! :)
ReplyDeleteJeeda: Definitely do, it's a great polish!
Coco: You'll have to let me know how you like them once you receive your package and have a chance to try things out!! Have fun with them :)
Monica: Sounds like you have the same take on e.l.f. as I do; not all of their products are great but they do make some really nice ones for the price! Let me know how the Christmas colors are so I can either go pick them up or avoid them altogether haha! :)
The Jaded Reality: Thank you, glad you like it!!
Thats such a pretty shade! I can't get Elf out here though unfortunately. But I am obsessed with everything nails, probably don't need any more polishes! Haha ;)

Amelia: Aw, that's too bad you can't get your hands on e.l.f. products where you live!! And a girl can never have too many polishes ;)
ReplyDeletekb: Yes, it is very similar to some of essie's light pinks but as you said the price of e.l.f. is much MUCH better !!
Evelyn: Thank you!
Michelle: Thanks, I'm glad you enjoy!! :)
That's such a pretty color!
