e.l.f. Disney Villains 2013 Nail Polish Collection: Review and Giveaway! [CLOSED]

The Reasonable Blog is back and better than ever - and we're celebrating with a GIVEAWAY!  (Sorry friends across the ponds... this one is only domestic because I can't ship it internationally, but look out for future giveaways for you!)

Look what I found!

e.l.f. (Eyes, Lips, Face) has released a 2013 Disney Villains set, and I managed to snag a couple of nail polish sets.  One for me, and one for a lucky reader!  First up, here's what's in there...

There are four villains highlighted in this set: Cruella, Ursula, the Evil Queen, and Maleficent. Each lascivious lady has three mini polishes. The set retails for $9.99... so if just two of the polishes turn out decent, you've gotten a pretty good deal.

Sea Escape

Sea Escape's color looked so unique in the bottle! A beautiful, glittery dark aqua blue with black undertones. I couldn't WAIT to get it on my nails, and this is what I got:

The colors are captured on camera pretty darn good, but from a distance, they don't show up quite as well. Regardless, it's a pretty color!

The finish of these colors is not as shiny as I prefer. I like glossy nails. These aren't exactly matte, they're just... dull. However, a nice shine can be achieved with a good glossy top coat. The colors are opaque (swatches are all 1 coat), pretty varied in shade, and not too bad, especially considering the price! My favorites are two of the more unique colors: Pot of Gold and Sea Escape. I also like the neutral colors Thunderstorm and Smoky Brown. 

Now for the giveaway! This will run until September 30 at midnight, EST. Good luck!
