Eleanor nail polish: Sparkly strawberry jelly

After a week of neutral nails I craved something a little more interesting.  I went diving in my stash and came out with a glittery strawberry jelly!

I have a few bottles of Eleanor nail polish I bought from Sasa in Singapore a few years ago and this is the first one I've got around to wearing.  Of course the colours don't have names, nor even serial codes so all I can do is describe the colour and finish of this pretty vibrant polish.  While it looks like a red polish in the bottle, on the nail it translates to a juicy strawberry jelly with the tinest hint of holo glitter and shimmer.  I used two coats of colour and there's a slight VNL but not enough to be obvious.  The only complaint is a bit of tip shrinkage but I can even forgive that because it's pretty darn cute to me.  Seriously every time I looked at my nails I craved strawberry jubes or jelly/jello!

Have you heard of or tried Eleanor nail polish?

Until next time.

    1. Great to hear you're an Eleanor polish fan - I'll have to swatch the rest of my Eleanor's for you! Sasa's a little treasure trove for nail and beauty stuff so I always check it out when I'm in Singapore :)

  3. Definitely strawberry jelly - love it! I've never tried Eleanor, should have picked up a few bottles whilst I was in Hong Kong!

    1. I remember the Eleanor polishes were super cheap, around $4 I think. The first swatch has definitely given me the taste to try the rest in my collection so expect a few more of these posts!

    1. I've only ever seen Eleanor in Sasa so it may be exclusive to them. Cheap and cheerful!

    1. I think cheerful polish is a good way to ward off winter blues. :)
