Valentine's Day Nails: Pink, Glitter & Hearts
Hey Everyone :-)
Valentine's Day is right around the corner, so I thought I would show you this nail look that I created using my new ORLY nail lacquer in Lift The Veil. This look is extremely quick and easy to do, and I only used three products to complete the look. It's a very cute and girly look, perfect for Valentine's Day. If you want to know how I created this look and what products I used, then just keep reading :-)
How to create this look:
♥ 1) Start of by applying a base coat to protect your natural nails.
♥ 2) Apply a light pink nail polish on all of your nails. I used ORLY's Nail Lacquer in Lift The Veil.
♥ 3) Take the pink glitter nail polish of your choice, and apply it on top of the light pink shade that we first used.

♥ 4) Finish of the look with the heart fimo sticks. Apply them on top of the pink glitter polish while it's still wet, and that's it :-)
Products I've used to create this look:
♥ OPI Original Nail Envy Nail Strengthener. You can find this product HERE.

How are you going to spend your Valentine's Day? I'm going on a dinner and movie date with Simon, which I'm super excited about. I love Valentine's Day, and I just can't wait to spend it with him :-)

I really like the square bottle. It's very simple, yet sleek and beautiful at the same time. The brush is amazing, it picks up just the right amount of product and makes the nail polish go on so smooth and so easy. These are described as rich high quality colors that give you full coverage with just one coat. I had to apply two coats, because I could still see my nails peeking through the polish after the first coat. I haven't tried any of the other LVX shades in this collection, so I can't really speak for them.
Overall, I really like this nail polish from LVX. The shade is gorgeous and I'm really impressed with the quality and how it applies. Greige is a perfect everyday shade, and it's very work appropriate too, which is always a big plus in my book :-)
My Thoughts:
Greige is a beautiful creme nail polish with the perfect blend of gray and brown, which is part of their Fall Winter 2012 collection. I found this shade to be extremely easy to apply. The consistency is perfect, not too thin or too thick. It didn't streak, but it was a little sheer on the first coat. It does take a few minutes to dry, and it's fully opaque in two/three coats.

ORLY Nail Lacquer in La Vida Loca: Review, Photos & Swatches
♥ ORLY Nail Lacquer in La Vida Loca.
As one of the nail care industry’s renowned color houses, ORLY introduces new collections each season to keep you en-trend and in style. ORLY La Vida Loca Nail Lacquer is free of DBP, toluene, formaldehyde and features their award-winning gripper cap for fuss-free application every time.

♥ ORLY Nail Lacquer in La Vida Loca.
My Thoughts:
La Vida Loca is a beautiful neon fuchsia nail polish with underlying blue/violet iridescence. This shade is so easy to apply. It goes on very smooth and it doesn't streak at all, but the consistency is a little thin so I had to apply a few coats to make the color look nice and opaque. La Vida Loca dries quickly and it's fully opaque in two/three coats.
La Vida Loca was recently released as part of Orly's new Valentine's Day collection called I Love Nails. La Vida Loca aren’t new, just a previously released color. I'm a huge fan of the gripper cap, it's one of the reasons why I love Orly's nail polishes so much. It gives me a much better grip, and it also makes it a lot easier to control the brush when I'm working with my nail polish.
Overall, I really like this nail polish a lot. It's such a pretty shade, and I really like how it brightens up my nails and makes them pop. La Vida Loca is a gorgeous and bright shade that's perfect for the summer, as well as for Valentine's Day. I'm looking forward to wear this during the summer, because I think it's going to look even more beautiful with a nice tan :-)

My Thoughts:
Lift The Veil is a light and creamy baby pink nail polish. It's really easy to apply, but It is a little sheer and a bit streaky on the first coat. It goes on a lot smoother and nicer on the second coat, it dries quickly and it's fully opaque in three/four coats.
I really like this nail polish a lot. It is a very pretty and clean shade, and I really like that it makes my nails look fresh and polished. This shade was recently released as part of Orly's new Valentine's Day collection called I Love Nails, but it's not a new shade, just a previously released color.
Overall, I think Lift The Veil is a wonderful nail polish. I love how easy it is to work with, the shade is gorgeous and the quality of the nail polish is amazing. The gripper cap is also one of the reasons why I love Orly's nail polishes so much. I feel like it gives me a a much better grip, and it makes it a lot easier to control the brush when I'm applying my nail polish. Lift The Veil is definitely worth checking out, it's such a pretty nail polish and a perfect everyday shade :-)
