e.l.f. Nail Polish Swatches

Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links.
I decided the other day to swatch all of my e.l.f. nail polishes, since the photos and swatch graphics on e.l.f.'s website tend not to be particularly accurate, and it's not always easy to find swatches of everything online. It turns out that I don't have as many of these as I thought I did, but I hope this will be useful anyway.

e.l.f. Essential Nail Polish swatches (left to right): Mint Cream, Purple Dream, Sunset, Red Velvet,  Cranberry, Flirty Fuchsia, Fire Coral, Mango Madness, Coral, Copper, Smoky Brown, Desert Haze

These are excellent nail polishes, and they are only $2 each. Many of them are opaque in one coat, especially the shimmers. My favorites are Mint Cream, which is a great basic mint, Cranberry, which is a fantastic, one-coat, deep shimmery red, Coral, which is a really cool pinkish-coral with gold shimmer, and Desert Haze, which is a really versatile taupe. I'm not a huge fan of Purple Dream or Sunset (which is why I'm giving them away).

Flirty Fuschia is a bit of a weirdo here. I'm wondering if there might be two versions of this. I've read descriptions of it that call it a jelly, while mine is definitely a cream (not translucent at all). Also, don't be fooled by the name - this is not fuschia. It's a pink that's a little on the coral side. Anyone else have this? Is yours a jelly?

Here are some closeups of the swatches:
