Nail Polish Swatches and Review (The Face Shop, Elianto, Cherry) and a Promise

Hey everyone! I know I owe you a lot of nail polish swatches (and much more) so here they are. These are the polishes I got recently, as seen in my haul post *here* and my birthday haul post *here.*


First let's start with the ones I got on my birthday - TFS GR501 and some Elianto polishes. 
(Note: All were swatched without top coat)

L-R: TFS GR501, Top coat
L-R: Elianto Nail Colors in
Novy, Yellow, Thistle, Olive


  • TFS in GR501 - lime green to chartreuse shade, 4 coats, sheer
  • Elianto in Novy - navy blue shade, 2 coats, easy to apply
  • Elianto in Yellow - true yellow shade, 4 coats, very streaky
  • Elianto in Thistle - pale thistle shade, 3 coats a bit streaky but easier to apply than Yellow
  • Elianto in Olive - light frost and metallic olive green shade, 2 coats, easy to apply but brush strokes are visible

Where to get Elianto polishes here in the Philippines? Read my previous post *here.*

Next batch: another TFS and some Cherry nail polishes.

TFS BL602
L-R: Cherry Nail Polishes in
Moonlight Glaze, Carolina Peach

  • Cherry Nail Polish in Moonlight Glaze - persian pink shade, 2 coats, easy to apply
  • Cherry Nail Polish in Carolina Peach - dark flame orange shade, 2 coats, easy to apply
  • TFS in BL602 - powder blue shade, 3-4 coats, streaky

I'm actually loving the shades of my TFS polishes but I like the formula of Cherry polishes better. Cherry polishes are easier to apply and less streaky. I think I just bought pang-matanda boring Cherry shades. I will definitely check out the others! As for the Elianto polishes, my fave is Thistle and I hate Yellow. It's even more streaky than my Caronia nail polish in Sweet Surprise. 

Now, for the "promise" part...

As you may have noticed, my latest hauls mostly consist of nail polishes. Since I still have a lot of nail polishes to go through, I am promising not to buy anymore nail polishes for two months, excluding glitter top coats. 

I have you all as my witnesses.
