Nail of the Day: E.L.F. Red Velvet

Today’s NOTD is a holiday shade from elf in Red Velvet

It’s a gorgeous deep and rich red with super fine shimmer in it..

very very pretty…

swatch under natural light by the window (raining today)

application is quite easy and smooth for this polish

1 coats will completely give you an opaque finish

(don’t we just love it a bit more when we only need 1-2 layers^^)

but I went 2 coats to see if color will look different

I like it with 2 coats because it made the finish richer 

and deeper and more complete!

packaging is simple, square glass bottle with black cap

this shade is from elf holiday nail polish set of 5 polishes

so one only costs less than $1

with these gorgeous finish for the low cost

I think it’s a good buy^^

E.L.F. Holiday Nail Polish Set Reviews and Swatches

I just couldn’t make up my mind choosing one color from the E.L.F. Holiday Nail Polish Set for my Nail of the Day
All these 5 colors look so pretty to me so I decided to swatch all the colors on my nails ^-^ sounds good? Keep reading.
Left to Right: Golden Goddess, Royal Purple, Mod Mauve, Red Velvet, Metal Madness

Golden Goddess is a clear based shimmer/glitter polish.It looks so pretty in the bottle, but I wish it shows more goldwhen applying on the nail. I applied 4 coats and still can see through my nail underneath. The bigger hexagonal glitter is moreof a silver/multicolor based glitter, very pretty, however, I found it a little bit hard to get them on the nails. I think this will alsolook great layering on other colors!

Royal Purple is a pink/fuchsia undertone purple shimmer, good opacity, 2 coats is all you need for this opaque finish! Application is very easy and smooth for this one, too. I did not have “HIGH” hope tothis shade, but it turned out very pretty, gorgeous color! 

Mod Mauve is a very creamy brown/mauve-tone color without any shimmer or glitter. This is also the only one color that doesn’t match the picture on E.L.F. website. The one on their website shows more pink rather than brown. Actual color is a darker mauve witha hint of brown to it (Mod Mauve!). I think this is a special and muddy mauve shade. 

Red Velvet, such a cute name, reminds me of yummy red velvet cakes ha ha ^-^ I really love this shade. It’s a deep and bright red with very pretty shimmer to it. Very easy to apply, 2 coats were essential for this gorgeous opaque look!This added sparkles made this shade so pretty, great for the holidays!

Metal Madness is a metallic gunmetal/charcoal color with very fine multi-color micro-glitter/shimmer. so so pretty! This shade is stunning, and it’s such aperfect holiday color! Application is fairly easy and smooth, 2 coats will give you an opaque gorgeous finish! 

With the price of $4.50 for these 5 lovely shade, these are only $0.90/each
you get glittery, creamy, and holiday shimmery shades all in a set.I’d say they really worth the money and worth the try^-^
