e.l.f. Coral Polish Set

Tuesday, May 15, 2012
I think I may have broken some sort of record for myself. From purchasing a set to swatching it in less than a month. I'm issuing an official apology to all my other polish sets that have been waiting for a year to be swatched. I even have another e.l.f. set from last summer still untouched that is now giving me a guilt trip. This set would have probably joined the untried box as well if it was not for the Sunday Stamping manicure a few days ago that used three out of the four of these polishes...

Sadly this e.l.f. set does not have a unique name to identify it. I'm calling it the "coral" set. My bf called it the "carrot" set...


Coral Dream
A soft coral peach cream. The formula on this one was a bit thick and goopy, but still workable. I would thin it for next time. On the plus side, it only needed two coats for full, even coverage. The polish dries with a satin finish so the swatches are with a top coat for shine. There is something about this shade that makes my skin tone look darker. Easy way to fake a tan! :)

Collection: No Name 4 Piece set
Color Name/Number: Coral Dream
Number of coats: 2

Flirty Fuchsia
A coral pink cream. The formula has a bit of a jelly finish to give it shine. It does start out pretty sheer and requires three coats for full coverage. As a benefit, however, it is easier to apply than a thicker cream. Application was great, no streaking of balding.

Smokin Hot
A poppy red cream. The color is hard to describe. In some light it looks more fuchsia in other light more coral. It is definitely a bit more red than the photos show (at least on my monitor). Love this color for summer. This also has a similar formula to the two above. Slight jelly cream, three coats for full coverage, very nice formula. I'm rockin this smokin hot color as my manicure today...

Overall I'm really impressed with this collection. The colors are perfect to put me in a summer mood as the weather has been nice these past few days...

Just in case you missed it, here is what a gradient consisting of Coral Dream, Party Peach and Smokin Hot can look like. For more photos of the gradient and some nail art, check out this post...
