Emily Loves: ELF Nail Polish in 'Fire Coral'

I'm a sucker for Elf products! But this is my all time favourite Elf item because it's a beautiful colour and it's also dirt cheap! This colour (fire coral) is a lovely bright orangey red and is perfect for the summer - even though the weather in the UK can no longer really be classed as 'summer'!

This particular polish is one of the new formulas, I've never tried the old ones so I can't compare it. But, the new formula is really lovely. I only have one coat on in the pictures below and you can see that it's still extremely opaque and it dries extremely quickly which is great because it reduces the faff of putting nail varnish on without trying not to smudge it.

I'm also pretty skeptical about using bright reds on my nails because I'm so pale, but this really compliments the skin and doesn't look odd!





 I'd highly recommend this polish and the others from Elf because they're great quality and the prices are so low. What do you think of the polish? What's your favourite Elf shade? Let me know in the comments.

Before I go, I just wanted to say that I'll be posting a 'lifestyle' type post very soon, possibly today or tomorrow - just a general update about stuff! Don't forget to follow me on Twitter and I'll follow you back.

FAKE TAN HEAVEN

I used to wear fake tan when I was in about year 10/11 of high school during my more, 'chavier' days. Needless to say, I was always a nice shady of patchy orange. Although, as it was my sixth form prom recently, I decided to try out fake tan for another time, and I actually have much more success this time than previously!

I purchased the St Tropez Everyday Tanning Mousse and I love it! It applies best if you get a tanning mitt, it is streakless! I usually apply it at night and then shower in the morning, that gets rid of the horrible tanning smell and makes the tan more even. 

The only issue I have with this tan is that it is pretty expensive and it runs out really quickly, but other than that, I love it.






It's currently cheap(ish) at Boots now, for £17.49, rather than the usual price of about £22!
