E.L.F. Nail Polish Review

Ignore my crappy cuticles I'm sorry

Hey everyone! A little while ago I was at Big Lots and I was looking at beauty sets. You know the ones that come out around Christmas time and Valentine’s Day, the generic gift sets for people who don’t know a lot about. Well while I was browsing I saw an E.L.F. nail polish set with four polishes for under $3 and I had to buy it because… it was under $3 lol. I’m a spender. Anyway I thought I would do a review of these four polishes for you.


I’m going to start with the color on my pinky finger which is called “Chic Confetti”. This is a really cute glitter that you can wear by itself, as I am, or wear over a solid color. I really love this color combo and the polish itself is pretty great.  It’s pretty hard to mess up glitter tbh. I even got a compliment on this one finger nail lol. It stands out.

The color on my ring finger is called “Pot of Gold” and it is just a classic gold color. I’m a fan of this for sure and I really have no complaints about it. This picture was taken over a week after I put this polish on and there was no chipping. This is also the polish without a top coat so I’d say that this is a pretty decent polish.

The color on my middle finger is called “Smokin Hot” and it is just a solid bright red color. While, as I’ve expressed before, I love red nails this polish isn’t that great. I mean the color is good and it goes on well and it didn’t stain my nails too terribly, however it did chip quite a bit. I’m sure if I used a top coat it would have been better, but sometimes I’m just too lazy and I have other red polishes that don’t need it to stay on. I’d say this color is pretty average. I’m not mad but I’m not impressed.

And finally on my index finger is the same gold except I added the Matte Finisher. Now this polish does not freaking work. It’s the worst matte top coat I’ve ever come across in my life lol. I put it on my thumb nail with the red polish too and there’s almost no difference. It’s kind of pointless. Sorry E.L.F. but you need to work on that formula.

Overall I’d give this set a 3.5 out of 5. The gold and glitter polishes are totally cool, the red is ok, and the matte one sucks. I think that $3 is a fair price for what you get, I’d maybe even pay a little more considering how much normal bottles of polish cost just for one color. If you come across this set and you want to get it, I’d say go for it. 

I hope this was helpful. I know that I have been gone again, but I’m doing Vedim (video every day in March) on my YouTube channel if you want to go check that out. There’s no video today because I literally have no time, but that’s why I scheduled this post lol.  See you soon!

Miracle Gel “Greyfitti” Review

  Hello everyone! Today I have a review for one of my newer polishes by Sally Hansen called “Greyfitti” (#260). So, keep reading to see what I think!  The first thing I have to say is that this polish took 3 coats to get this opacity. That was a little bit annoying, but it didn’t take too long to dry and this color is very pretty. I guess if you needed a really transparent grey color for any type of nail design that this polish could be considered multifunctional.  Also, this color reminds me of Candie’s “Concrete Jungle”, which I’ve done reviews on before, except it's a bit of a lighter shade of grey. I may like Candie’s a bit better… no offense to Sally Hansen lol. This polish is great and you know that I love Sally Hansen products, but I prefer the other one a bit more. Overall, I’d say that this polish deserves 4 out of 5 stars. I like the color and it dries quickly. So far it has lasted with no chips (even though I haven’t had it on for that long so I’...

L.A. Colors Color Last - First Impressions

Hey everybody! So I was walking around my local Walmart about 2 weeks ago and I came across a new display of nail polish for L.A. Colors Color Last nail polish. The polishes went for 2 dollars (I think anyway they were pretty cheap) and they claimed to last up to 10 days with the top coat. I decided I’d test that out because why not buy more nail polish that will inevitably dry out and be wasted, whatever. So that is what this blog post is for; I’ll be giving you my first impressions of both the actual polish and the top coat itself.  The color I chose is called “Friendship” and it’s a neutral purple color with slight pink tones. It also has this weird glitter that you can only see when it’s wet or if you have eagle eyes. Anyway, it is a nice color (I used 2 coats) but I had a few problems with application. This particular polish did NOT go on smoothly at all and it looked really rough on its own. I contemplated testing the polish without the top coat on one hand for a ...

Suncoat Natural Nail Polish Remover First Impression

Hello everyone! Today I have a review for Suncoat’s Natural Nail Polish Remover. My mom recently purchased this online at Amazon, which at the moment is $5.68 for 60ml. It is a corn and soya based nail polish remover with only 4 ingredients, which is significantly healthier than regular polish remover. It comes in either a 30ml or 60ml glass bottle (1oz or 2oz) which is better than plastic because the chemicals in plastic bottles will soak into the remover as well, and that’s bad for you. The directions say to put it on your nails with a Q tip or cotton ball, let soak, and rub off until the polish is removed; basically, it works just like normal removers. I had my mom test it on the 4 th of July nail design and the new glitter polish I got (I test my designs on her first ok) and she gave me a review. She said that it was very very oily, but it is oil so that’s what you’d expect. It took longer to remove than what it would for normal polish remover, but it worked just as well....
