You may have gathered from reading so far that I don't like cheap things in general. It's the packaging - it depresses me. But in fairness, I do absolutely adore when I find something that's both a quality product, affordable , and housed in casing that doesn't make me feel ill - something like e.l.f. nail polishes.Yes, the formula is very thin and runny. You might not like it. I do, because my method of painting nails is to just aim broad, haphazard strokes at my fingertips, and remover all the excess with from my fingers afterwards. I hate formulas that feel thick and gloopy, because I'm sure to end up with a mess. e.l.f's polish is foolproof, dirt cheap, has a nice array of charming colors, and while not exactly natural, is lacking some of the more unpleasant chemical additives of it's drugstore cousins.
Lately I've been wearing lilac - a perfect creamy, pale Amy Pond-esque lavender shade - like a little hint of easter egg to cheer up my nails. I'm eyeing the beautiful pale mint and the shiny, posh grey-nude next - for $2 it's hard to go wrong. I've even managed to stop biting my nails for a bit. Praise indeed.
What's your favorite color for nails this spring?
The mint one is really beautiful.
