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! :)

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.

Party Peach
A bright orange cream. The formula on this is very similar to Flirty Fuchsia. Three coats for full coverage since it starts out a bit sheer. Same slight jelly finish for shine. Very easy to apply.

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...

Anutka :)
they are nice on their own but look amazing in a gradient!
ReplyDeleteLove Smokin Hot! They are all beautiful, but the gradient is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteLove Coral Dream! They are amazing in a gradient!
ReplyDeleteLove these! Didn't even know ELF did sets!
ReplyDeleteI have to say, these are not colours I'd get for myself but I do find them very flattering on you, all of them! And that gradient looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteLove this! Did you order it online or is this available in target? I may need it :)
ReplyDeleteCoral Dream takes the first place for me!
ReplyDeleteLOL at what your bf called it! These are all gorgeous! I'm jealous. My target has a sh-load of Elf products, but not nail polish =[
ReplyDelete@Cuti-CLUE-les, thank you so much! I'm glad you like the gradient
ReplyDelete@stephpiperr, Thanks! I ended up wearing Smokin Hot for more than a day, so that's saying a lot :)
@PassionForPolish, Thanks! it is a sweet color :)
@Naila Nails, they have a few seasonal sets. Not sure I've seen any permanent ones :)
@nailXchange, funny that you say that, these are not the colors I normally pick, but somehow I end up with a lot of them. This set my cousin convinced me :)
@BeautyScraps, my Target does not carry polishes, so if yours does then there is a chance of finding it there. I have seen this set at Big Lots, it is also online (http://www.eyeslipsface.com/elf/nails/sets/4_piece_nail_polish_set). I got this one at pay/half.
@Manases Andrea, love that color too. Somehow it makes my skin-tone look darker :)
@heartNAT, my target has no polishes either :(
I got this one at pay/half in Chicago, but I have seen them at Big Lots in my state.
I really like all the colours in this set and Elf definitely have good prices! I'm just worried about the brushes and formulas as I've had bad experiences with Elf in the past :(
ReplyDeleteI did not have any problems with the brushes. I wonder if with the white caps they changed the brushes as well. I'll have to try some of my black cap polishes and compare!
ReplyDeleteYou are right... corals are perfect for evoking the summer moods :D
ReplyDeleteI like "coral dream" the most :D I'm a sucker for shades like that.
The gradient turned out soo well!
@Marta, I'm a sucker for those shades too! Coral Dream and Smokin Hot are my faves here :)
