Elle Elle Nude Nail Polish

I found this polish in a 9-pack at Ross. I don't know where it's sold normally, but Ross had it.

Elle Elle has these weird dupes of other polishes. This is nice, and affordable.

So, here it is:


A fairly modest polish. Perfect for day wear.

It took five coats, but dried fairly quickly, then wore like iron.

Here's my "wears like iron" test:

Drive out to the barn where my horse is boarded. No mean feat, this means schlepping gear to my car.
Arriving and donning a pair of gloves (hey, I'm not stupid)
Getting horse out of paddock, grooming him, since he's unblanketed and he is always covered in dirt
Tacking him up, working with him on the ground or riding.
Often my hands are cold, I've got to handle sub-freezing gear, I've got to get my hands wet and I need to cut up apples/carrots for a treat. Gloves either come off or get wet, are changed. No getting around it, hands get worked.

Later I will have to get home do the usual complement of chores, including cooking, washing up, laundry, etc.

I try to keep my hands moisturized, but I use a lot of water, so my hands are dry. I'm forever trying new moisturizers, but not a lot work well.

So, wearing well means it really can take a licking.

I have a soft spot for Elle nail polish.

For the holidays I wore some E.L.F. Dark red layered with gold glitter, then some Revlon Cherry Fizz. It was nice, but my camera battery was toast.
Need to update this more often. A new years resolution!

Happy New Year!
