New Series: Manicure Monday 1



Hi Everyone! It's October already! To commemorate the start of the month, I'll be starting a new series in my blog wherein I will post every Monday the nail polish that I'm wearing at the start of the week, thus it's going to be called Manicure Monday. (I don't know if the title sounds creative or corny)




For my first official Manicure Monday, I painted my nails with Etude House Matte Nail Polish 2.





I hope I won't be too busy this week to write more reviews for you all.

Until then...

elf nail polishes


I love that elf nail polishes are now available locally however I'm not digging how much it is. Local elf prices are a rip off as they sell for Php129.75 each for the essentials line. Though I know they're not too expensive but considering that they sell only for a dollar each in the US that makes it three times as much as the local retail price when converted.

elf nail polishes are of pretty good quality. They come in cute packaging too, very reminiscent of the nars nail polishes. They are formulated without 
Toluene, Formaldehyde, and Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP). They also come in a variety of colors from nudes, to reds, to even bright colors. I own 12 elf nail polishes so far (chocolate, lilac, black, punk purple, smoky brown, dark navy, fire coral, plum, light red, nude, fluorescent pink, and mod mauve). I love them all but if I were to choose my favorites, it will be smoky brown and lilac. I've had my elf nail polishes for over eight months now and I'm happy to say that I can still use them as they haven't dried up yet. They have pretty long shelf life which makes them oh so worth it. Another plus is that elf nail polishes don't have a strong nail polish scent. It doesn't hurt my nose or give me a headache unlike other nail polishes I've used in the past. The nail polishes are thin and a bit sheer so 2-3 coats would be needed to achieve the color on the bottle. 






***elf nail polishes sell for $2 dollars now. Oh well but at least the essentials line are still a dollar each.
