E.L.F. @ Giant Tiger in Canada

~ E.L.F. Jewel Tone Trio ~

 I found these today for $3.97 CAD, at a store in my town, Giant Tiger, They had quite an assortment of 'sets' of E.L.F. products 5 different nail polish sets, glitter eyeliner trios, mascara, eyeshadow etc.. I had seen 'Dark Navy' swatched and thought it was really pretty- but is quite dark in indoor lighting. In my little swatch below - I did not use a top coat. The 'Royal Purple' is very, very nice. I do not have another color like this..... Why don't I have another color like this? The white frost I am not happy with it, I hate brush marks and with frosts they always show up. Why frost, the other two color polish's are beautiful opaque shimmers...... These three polish applied amazingly well, had a low odor, and dried in a decent amount of time. I did a quick swatch but only have a photo in indoor fluorescent lighting.... sorry. This was the last set of the 'Jewel Tone Trio'

I had hoped that these black caps would come off.. revealing a small round brush handle as I am quite a picky when it comes to brush handles. But they do not, that was a little disappointing. I wish that the 'Navy Blue' was a little brighter & lighter. I added at top coat ( not pictured) and it looks much better Also I snapped these photos immediately after coming home from shopping, it is freezing here and there is some condensation on the bottels... Hooray for Winter (  sarcasm  )
