ELF Mango Madness

I posted about my first two ELF polishes the other day, and here’s my third! Purchased at the same time as the other two, this one is quite obviously a different shade.

I was swatching a little too late in the day, so the colour isn’t quite right, unfortunately. It has a much pinker tint than what the photos show. (I’ll try re-swatching at some point to get a fairer representation of it.)

That slight problem aside, it is a really gorgeous colour. Very summery, which makes it a bit of a pity that I only just tried in on now, when autumn is just about to start. There’s always next year, though! Or, of course, the prospect of what I like to think of as a vitamin injection for the darker months. =)

This is slightly more true-to-life, but still not pink enough.

Formula wise? It’s a bit thicker than the other two ELFs I tried. I think that’s the “new and improved” formula talking. Personally, I’m a big fan of the older version, so I’m not super pleased. To be fair, though, this isn’t bad, as such, just slightly thicker and harder to work with. I think I’ll survive it, though. ;) The worst is the fact that there’s still a hint of VNL even after three coats. Cool if you don’t mind VNL, but not so much if you do. I think I’ll layer it over a nude or white in the future.
