E.L.F. swatches: Lilac

E.L.F. Lilac

EN: Hello Bananas!
Today's post about a E.L.F. nail polish that I bought last year named Lilac. My overall opinion about this nail polish is pretty much similar to another review that I've done for Mango Madness nail polish from E.L.F. [review here].
- It has a "liquidy" formula;
- It's easy to apply and easy to remove;
- If you want it to last longer (more than maybe 2/3 days) on your nails, I suggest you to use a good topcoat nail polish over it;
- This nail polish is a bit more sheer than Mango Madness, so sometimes just two coats won't be enough, you might have to apply a third one. Of course this is personal preference, you might like it just with two, which was what I applied on these pictures;
- Price, about £1.50.

PT: Olá Bananas!
O post de hoje é sobre um verniz da marca E.L.F. que eu comprei no ano passado chamado Lilac. A minha opinião no geral é muito semelhante a uma outra review que fiz sobre o verniz Mango Madness  também da E.L.F. [review aqui].
- Tem uma formula bem líquida;
- É de fácil aplicação e também para remover;
- Se querem que o verniz dure mais tempo (mais do que 2/3 dias) nas vossas unhas, eu sugerido que usem um bom topcoat por cima;
 - Este verniz é um pouco mais transparente que o Mango Madness, por isso algumas vezes só duas passagem do verniz podem não ser suficientes e por isso uma terceira é necessária. Mas isto é só a minha preferência pessoal, vocês podem preferir só duas camadas como podem ver nas fotos;
- Preço, cerca de £1.50 (Libras).

Nails Inc. London swatches: St Mark´s Square

DSCF2097 
Hiya everyone! I couple of days ago I tried another Nails Inc. London nail polishes, this one is called St Mark's Square. Huuummm how can I describe this colour? I guess in terms of the colour itself, it´s like what?... sort of Lilac? But with some shimmer I suppose.
The application went pretty smooth, I applied first one coat of the O.P.I. Nail Envy for Maintenance (doesn't belong to me), then two coats of the St Mark's Square and finished up with one coat of Seche Vite, the Holy Grail of Topcoat dry fast nail polishes like evAr, that thing WOKS! If I remember well I think the nail polish lasted for like three days intact.
And now for some pictures!

Nails Inc. London swatches: Fitzrovia

DSCF1769
Today I'm showing you another nail polish from Nails Inc. London, this one is called Fitzrovia.
It's a nude creamy colour, sort of bege but then sometimes it looked like it had a pinkinsh undertone.
I absolutely fell in LOVE with this colour!
For a good result I applied two coats of Fitzrovia on my nails. Now you might have read a previous post of mine HERE, where I complained the fact that the Nails Inc. London nail polishes didn't stay long on my nails, so this time I decided to use a different Basecoat and Topcoat. For the Basecoat I used O.P.I. Nail Envy for Maintenance (this one doesn't belong to me) and then for the Topcoat I used a clear Barry M nail polish. This way the nail polish stayed a bit longer, instead of just one day, I think it managed to reach three days intact, after that the ends start coming out. I probably should start wearing gloves when I wash the dishes.
Here are some more close up photos of my nails.
