Now where do I start?
Nail polish!
I never bought any nail polish from elf before but because they are so cheap I grabbed almost all the colours that I saw on their website. So what do I think of them? The colours on the website are not very accurate. Starting off with the Red Velvet.
Colour: Red Velvet
As you can see from the first picture (taken from their website), the colour is dark red/maroon with shimmer whilst mine in the second picture was just like a standard red with no shimmer at all. I did wonder if they have sent me the wrong colour but I read the label so many times and it has red velvet printed on the sticker underneath the bottle. So upset!
Quality wise:
Poor.
- They all peel rather than chip (is that normal?)
- They last couple of days only
- They are mostly sheer
- Not very nice finish. Like semi-matte or rubbery
- The darker ones are quite pigmented but you still need 2-3 coats to get a non-streaky finish
- Some of my bottles are weird. The bottle and cap do not align when I close it tightly (again, is that normal?)
- They stain without a base coat
Colour: Passion Pink
Colour: Passion Pink
1 coat
Colour: Passion Pink
2 coats
The cap does not align with the bottles
I am aware that these nail polish are just under £2 so I don't expect much. I can still tolerate their poor quality (you get what you pay for) however as a customer, I felt that I was misled by their not so accurate colours presented to me on their website. Will I repurchase their nail polish again? Hmm.. maybe not:(
