I decided that e.l.f.s Desert Haze was the perfect shade for this week- a nudeish pale brown. I thought about doing some konading or polka dots, but I wanted to keep with a neutral and natural theme and keep it simple, with just an accent nail of e.l.f. Moonlight; another colour combination I cannot believe I've not tried before, they work so well together!
I used 3 thin coats (I find that it's mostly opaque in 2 coats, but I didn't want to take any risks!) of Desert Haze, then 3 coats of Moonlight on my ring finger (this is quite a sheer polish, and I mostly use it as a shimmery/pearlescent layer over the top of other polishes)
Somehow I've managed to use just one brand of polish like last weeks metallic nails- isn't it funny how these things work out? :) I really love both of these shades- Desert Haze is a great dupe to so many higher end brands and I don't think I've ever seen a polish like Moonlight, it's beautiful!- two e.l.f. must-haves :)

Thanks for linking me :)
ReplyDeleteDesert Haze is nice, have you the smokey brown to compare it too?
My pleasure :)
ReplyDeleteI have a NOTD with them both in (http://gretalrabbit.blogspot.com/2011/06/nail-of-day-elf-desert-haze-smokey.html) - Smokey Brown has a glitter top coat over but you can still see the colour pretty well :)

Hows the quality on the ELF nail polishes? Since they're so cheap, I'm worried about trying them and having them disappoint me...
ReplyDeleteWell they're probably not the longest lasting polishes I have (though nothing lasts too long on my nails...) but they apply really nicely and they are definitely worth getting- I love them!
