Last Friday I had elf's Royal Purple on my nails.
I really liked this gorgeous shimmery purple,
especially with my winter/dark outfit, they just look stunning.

Royal Purple is a pink/fuchsia undertone purple shimmer,
opacity is pretty good, 2 coats is all you need.

This shade really gave my fingers pop,
and brighten up the skin tone on my hands!
I really love its micro-shimmer in this polish.
The brush is cheap and a little bit weird to apply (just like other elf polishes)
However, the application is quite smooth because of its formulation.
It's a bit sheer the first coat if applied thinly, but 2nd coat will
give you a completely opaque and lovely finish.
Drying time is OK, but I waited a bit longer just to make sure
they're completely dry.
downsides: I found that these elf nail polishes all require a good and "hard"
topcoat as they usually chip on the second day... Also, they are not hard enough
(after completely dry) I noticed there're some miner dents (I only applied
a regular top coat)... other than that, this polish is great for it's shimmery shade
as well as it's price! I just wish it's more long-lasting..
