Nail of the Day: e.l.f. Innocent and Mod Mauve.

This NOTD comes to you after about 3 hours of indecision and impatience- I'd decided on the colours I want to use, but I kept changing my mind as to what design or pattern I wanted- then when I did decide, I couldn't sit still and smudged everything!




Innocent is a favorite of mine, it's a great slightly pinky nude shade which suits my skintone and (like all e.l.f. polishes) it provides good coverage after 2 or 3 coats despite it's pale colour- which lead me to think it could be streaky (it absolutely isnt!). I love Mod Mauve but I tend to wear it less often; I tend to prefer lighter colours on my fingers so that if they chip it looks less noticeable (yes, I am a little bit lazy...) I really love these two colours together- they seem to work so well.



On my left hand I used a nail art stamper (m55) to apply this lovely swirly pattern to my middle finger (I felt like a change from the ring finger). Beacuse it's such a thin layer, Mod Mauve came out rather pale on the nail but I like it that way, its nice and subtle. I did originally have this on both hands but I smudged my whole right hand and had to start again...



So on my right hand, I decided to just do a simple Mod Mauve ring finger (lets be honest- by this point I was getting hungry and I wanted to finish my nails off!) Not sure how long this will stay on my nails, I think having two unmatching hands my start to annoy me- they are both lovely though :)

What are your favorite nail polish colour combinations?
