Disney Villains Polish Set by e.l.f.: Maleficent

At Walgreens the other day, I picked up the Disney Villains polish set by e.l.f.  The collection comes with twelve different polishes divided into threes (the four villains include: Maleficent, Cruella, Ursula, and the Evil Queen from Snow White).  These 3 polishes are from the Maleficent collection:

The colors include:
"Maude Mauve" (pointer and pinky finger)
"Bubble Gum Pink" (thumb and ring finger)
"Gina Girl" (middle finger)

I really love all the colors in this collection, and each of them applied with a smooth, creamy, and rich texture.  I probably could have only used one coat on the pink and mauve, but I went ahead and did two.  The glitter color in the middle took about 4 coats for full coverage, but it wasn't clumpy or goopy at all, which is nice in a glitter formula.  It's kind of hard to tell, but the glitter has a brownish-purple base with purple, gold, and orange mixed glitters.  I never would have thought to pair these three colors, but e.l.f. did a great job with this combination!  Can't wait to use the other three villainous collections.

You can purchase this set at Walgreens for $9.99 USD, which is a great deal for 12 polishes.  They're not full sized bottles, but they're not as small as minis either.

Shot of the Day: Metallic "Chevron" Nails

We all know the chevron look has been really popular this summer, so I decided to try out one of my chevron stamps a little while ago to keep up with the trend.  Unfortunately, I did not evenly line up the stamp on my first couple of tries so I just decided the stamp the chevron pattern from a bunch of different angles instead.  I think it still looks pretty cool:

Sorry it's a little blurry...guess I just did not have a steady hand that night.  Anyway, here's a swatch of the base color without the stamp.  I used Sally Hansen's Gilty Party for this look:

And let me just say, I absolutely love this polish.  Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure polishes are some of my favorites, and this one is a perfect cross-seasonal shade.  It has a tiny bit of bronze that makes it perfect for summer, but the overall shimmer and color could be great for a Christmas/wintery look, too.  See how the color shifts somewhere between silver/bronze/gold with the two different lighting settings in the photos?  It's basically a must have polish.
