e.l.f. Studio Brush Holder

I love this thing! It appears to be made of acrylic. They covered it with a funky black spray that feels like a NARS compact. Right now it smells like it was from a "fire sale". I am confident that this smell will dissipate over the course of a few days.

e.l.f. Nail Polish Haul/Review

I did this haul months ago!

This color-lock formula with chip resistant shield gives long lasting nail color with high shine. The aerodynamic bristle design glides color on flawlessly, while the quick dry formula gives perfect application every time. Key nutrients give nails that natural shine, infused with Vitamin E for stronger, healthier nails.

Our formula is FREE of: Toluene, Formaldehyde, and Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP).

Net Wt: .35oz (10ml)

These were a steal @ $1 each. Many are dupes for high end colors that are trendy right now. (upcoming post).

In order to get the color in the bottle, you need 3 coats.
In order for this to last, you definitely need a base coat & a top coat.

Enjoy!
