Look what I found at my door this morning! My MIA e.l.f nail polish in Dark Glitter Purple! It arrived in the same size box as my other products arrived in together, a bit of a waste I thought? Anyway I am disappointed in this colour and I will tell you why.
It didn’t come in a product box this time (no waste), it was just wrapped in a plastic film, so you can tell if it has been opened or not, which is great! It also had a sticker on it saying, ‘Brand New Formula’, overall it looks like any other £1.50 e.l.f nail polish, but the colour is way off!
When I first saw it on their website it was a NEW colour and I was looking for a full glitter purple nail polish, like the Red Glitter by Barry M I have. The swatch on their website showed a full purple glitter colour, but when I received it this morning, let’s just say, it is not what I wanted! L
This is what I was led to believe it looked like,
This is what it really looks like,
- Sorry about the state of my nail, I just wanted a quick swatch!
It is really dark and it has more blue glitters in it than purple and the formula is very washy, you would need several coats, plus it looks too shiny/glossy, a glitter polish is not typically shiny/glossy. I’m grateful that they sent it me, but I just don’t like it, sorry!
It is partially my fault because I didn’t think to check swatches on Google Images, but the name and website swatch misled me for some reason, even though it does say Dark Glitter Purple, I was still expecting a colour more like e.l.f Purple Dream nail polish, but full on glitter! It is actually a nice colour, but just not my kind of colour and finish, better luck next time! J
