Now I want to see if you can pick out the cheap $1 ELF nail polish. I have on three different brands, one is definitely ELF and the other two are popular brands. I actually like the formaldehyde free ELF polish. It is supposed to be a quick dry polish and it does ok in that area, I didn't notice anything super fast but it was decent. The color is nice, maybe a little lighter on your nails with just one coating but add more and you should get your desired shade.
I only applied one coat of each brand just to be fair. Click the pic for a closer look.
<---hand1 hand 3 ---->
hand 2Now on to the quiz.....
Here's a look at the other two brands that I used:
Ready for the answer........
- Hand #1 Sally Hansen No Chip 10 Day Nail Color in Tenacious Ruby
- Hand #2 $1.00 ELF polish in Medium Red
- Hand #3 OPI in I'm Not really A Waitress
The ELF polish consistency is a little thinner than the other two brands but not so thin that you feel like you are applying water to your nails. Regarding the chip factor, I would say this product chips around the same time as most brands, no sooner and no later. (Except for OPI which I have found to be a really long lasting polish along with Essie). - Notice the cute little decorative drop of nail polish hanging from the ELF bottle. I have purchased $1.00 polish in the past and this is by far the best one. I would buy an ELF polish again.

Wow! I just KNEW #2 was the pricey brand.
I'm definitely going to give ELF a try now.
You're makin' my make-up probation reeeeal hard for me, sis. $1 nail polish is insaaaane. And it looks like it holds up pretty well! I'm impressed. What say you about that Sally Hasen? I have a few of those but I think they lied about it stayin' on for 10 Days. Did it work that well for you?

i guessed right and i didnt cheat! (not that the answer was obvious at all. i looked at all three a few times before deciding).
i got it wrong! polish is one of those things that i think you can go cheap on. i bought a couple chanel polishes once that were straight dodo! that was a fun post
@Antithesis-you are gooood!
@Justme- thanks for saying that, now I don't feel so bad that I couldn't get my hands on the chanel special edition blue after the dior blue was sold out. I also remember using a $1 nail polish from mabelline I think they called that line colorama or something like that...it was horrible.
