Glitter and Violet

I am now on day 7 for the My Favorite Things Challenge and day 6 for the 31 Day challenge.

So I wanted to come up with something for both in 1 mani since they both fell on the same day.

I decided that I wanted to do a royal colored mani since violet/purple is such a royal color!

 

 

First I started off with Sally Hansen Golden-I

 

Then on my ring finger and thumb I applied Orly Sashay My Way

 

Next I attempted a ruffian look by adding e.l.f Royal Purple

 

Now I should have stopped here but for some reason I didn't...

 

I'm not too crazy about the rhinestones but I wanted to see how it would look.

Now I know. LOL

 

 

I also attemped a purple camo per my husbands request. It turned out better than I thought it would.

I just couldn't get it to photograph well for some reason.

 

 

Those were the best 2 out of about 30 so I gave up. LOL

 

Now I am going to start swatching...Dollish Polish will be first and on my next post! Yay!

So check back for that!

 

And as always, Go check out the other ladies in these two challenges!

e.l.f Polish Review

I was on the e.l.f website a couple weeks ago and got an offer for a free Sunkissed Summer Gift bag with my purchase. I actually love a lot of  e.l.f's cosmetics, most of their stuff is actually really good quality for an extremely cheap price! Anyway, in my gift bag there was a bottle of their nail polish in Champagne. For a $2 bottle of polish it's pretty nice and it covered completely in 2 light coats.

It's hard to tell in the pictures but it has a beige kind of base with a kind of coral shimmer.

I topped it off with my new top coat. Seche Vite

I went to Sally's Beauty to pick this up since I'd heard it was the best top coat.

I am glad I made this purchase. It really does dry very quickly, I even applied it to my polish before it was dry, but it still dried up extremely fast.

The only downfall i came across is that my mani didn't last very long. Now this isn't a huge deal for me because I tend to change my polish quite often, but for those of you looking for a long lasting mani, the e.l.f polish isn't going to cut it. But all in all I really do like the e.l.f polish and they have 40 different colors too! I'll definitely be getting some more!
