ELF Mint with Konad

I've been drawn to this sea foam green color for awhile now.  Yes, I did manage to get Chanel Jade when it was in the store.  But its gotten to the point where a bottle of Jade goes for $225! Just this week I watched a bottle start at $0.99 and go up to $225!  I'm wary to use it knowing how much its worth now =(

But here is my ELF Mint, a $1 substitute sea foam green.  It took 3 layers to get this green, it was still a bit streaky under the Konad

I meant to swatch Jade on 1 finger to show the difference but I totally forgot.  So here is a bottle comparison instead =P

MATTE Forever 21 Olive Juice Nail Polish with Konad

So I decided I want to change my nails again.  But before I do, I was just curious my current color would look like matte:



Ring Finger: No top coat
Middle Finger and Pointer Finger: ELF Matte


Ring Finger: Essie Matte about You
Middle Finger and Pointer Finger: ELF Matte

I honestly can't tell the difference  between Essie and ELF when it comes to matte.  But ELF is just $1!  I'll continue to compare them with different colors to see, but for now they are about the same even though the price is a big difference!
