ELF Desert Haze & Barry M NOTD
It’s no secret I’m not a fan of ‘mannequin hands’ or the ‘griege’ trend that dominated fashionistas fingers during summer/autumn, the neutral tones seem to highlight every flaw on my hands and make my skintone look horrid. My skin is very sensitive to redness etc. and I’m always covered in at least 3 cat scratches (!) but going through my polish collection recently I found this gorgeous muted taupe which I didn’t even know I had. Putting it on, I hated it, but with a quick coat of Barry M’s Instant Nail Effects it gave the polish a really interesting edge and I really like it.
From the ELF core line, the polish is just £1.50 and is a fabulous ‘my nails but better’ shade which would also be perfect for a french mani. I find the ELF polishes really good quality for the money, I hear complaints of dodgy brushes and streaky forumlas but I own 13 of them and have never encountered these problems.
What do you think, do you do naked nails?

Wow that looks amazing! I'll have to try this out
xx
Yeah you like Desert Haze don't you? I didn't like it on its own but I liked this combo =D x
I need to do growing nails first (left hand is going good which is pleasing me no end) and I can't wait to find a my nails but better shade .
Are you wearing a topcoat? If so, spill the beans.
Are you using the Mavala scientifique like I told you… TOLD YOU.
Yeah just my usual OPI, I guess I should've mentioned that =0/ x
No I am not because I have been nigh on everywhere and I can't find it.
I went to Debenhams and John Lewis (they sell it there btw) and the people I asked thought I didn't know what I was on about.
It'll be purcashed in due time aka when I find it.
i got mine in boots? x
I think it would look nice on it's own as well because it looks a bit pinky? xx
Hmmm I've never liked the mannequin hand look, I'm much more comfortable in a bright red or purple but I guess it could look quite polishes if you like that kinda thing? x
