14 Days Of Valentines - Day 10 - Zoya Lolly

*Purchased by me*

Day 10 of the 14 Days of Valentines challenge. Whew! We're on the home stretch now! Today I have Zoya Lolly to show you. This is from the 2011 Mod Mattes collection which consisted of 3 super bright matte polishes.

This polish is a bit brighter and more neon than my camera would pick up. It's a very bright, fun polish which unfortunately is not available anymore.

Join me tomorrow and don't forget the links below.

14 Days Of Valentines - Day 9 - OPI Super Cute In Pink

*Purchased by me*

Hello and welcome to day 9 of the 14 Days of Valentines challenge. Today I have a color from the new Hello Kitty collection from OPI: Super Cute In Pink.

I have to admit that I was super excited when I heard about this collection. I still kinda love Hello Kitty. And this color is so pretty. It is a purple-leaning pink. And even though it is a jelly formula, it only took 2 coats to cover completely. I can see reaching for this polish often.

Have you picked up any polishes from this collection? What do you think of this color?

As usual, don't forget to check out the links below!

14 Days Of Valentines - Day 8 - OPI 50 Is The New Fabulous

*Purchased by me*

Here we are on day 8 of the 14 days of valentines challenge. Today I have OPI 50 Is The New Fabulous. This was a limited edition Sally Beauty Supply exclusive. I didn't know that when I bought it; I just saw a really pretty bright pink polish that was on clearance that I had to have.

I love this polish. It's such a bright, cheerful color. It's perfect for wearing during the gloomy winter months. What do you think of this color? Were you able to pick it up when it was available? Talk to me! 

And don't forget to check out the manis in the links below.

14 Days Of Valentines - Day 7 - Milani Digital

*Purchased by me*

Welcome to day 7! Today I have a really pretty polish for you. It is Milani Digital from their 3-D holographic collection from years ago. I'm pretty sure that I bought this whole collection when it was on clearance at CVS and I'm really glad I got them.

Milani Digital is a soft pink, scattered holo polish. I took the second picture with flash to show a little bit of the rainbow goodness. Unfortunately, there is not a lot of sun to be had here these days so I couldn't get a sunshine shot. But if you ever come across this polish I would definitely recommend it.

14 Days Of Valentines - Day 6 - OPI Chic From Ears To Tail

*Purchased by me*

Here we go on day 6 of the challenge! Today I chose OPI Chic From Ears To Tail from the 2013 Couture De Minnie collection. I love Minnie Mouse and anything Disneyland related so I was happy when this collection came out. 

 

In doing this challenge I have realized just how many pink polishes I have and how few reds I have (there WILL be a few during the challenge, but not many). I guess it makes sense because I've always been a fan of pink but red not so much. I love how all of the polishes so far have been kind of similar but so different in finish and texture. As they say, similar but not the same.

As always, check out the links below.

14 Days Of Valentines - Day 4 - OPI Pussy Galore

*Purchased by me*

Hi! Here we are on day 4 and I'm still going strong. Today I have OPI Pussy Galore from the 2013 Bond Girls collection. Now, I know that a lot of people are totally over textured polishes but I still love them as much as when they first came out. I especially love this one because it has some glitter and shimmer in the mix. 

How do you feel about textured polishes? Love 'em? Hate 'em? Let me know below!

14 Days Of Valentines - Day 3 - Revlon Innocent

*Purchased by me*

Here we are on day 3 and I have a polish from Revlon to show you today. It is called Innocent and it is from the 2011 Edgy Innocence collection. It is a pretty pale pink with silver shimmer and I really like it.

This polish has been sitting in a drawer for a few years and even though I tried to mix it it still has a funky line of gold metallic in the middle (even though the shimmer in the polish is silver...go figure). 

Three down, eleven more to go! And as usual, check out the links below to see some other Valentine's Day manis. And if you have a Valentine's Day mani to show me, leave it below!

14 Days Of Valentines - Day 2 - Wet 'n Wild Sparked

*Purchased by me*

Well, I've made it to day 2 of the 14 Days of Valentines challenge. For this mani I added a glitter topper to yesterday's polish from Wet 'n Wild called Sparked.

I'm not sure if this one is still available or not. This is 2 coats over my base polish so it's a pretty full coverage glitter. 

Check out the links for the other lovely participants down below and I'll see you tomorrow!

14 Days Of Valentines - Day 1 - Nubar Pink Lily

*Purchased by me*

Hi friends! So, I'm going to try something new and see how far I can get with it. I'm in a group on FB called Hobby Polish Bloggers made up of (obviously) nail polish bloggers. Last week Krystal from the Polish Galore blog posted asking what everyone thought about the idea of doing 14 days of pink and red polishes leading up to Valentine's Day. When some of us said we liked the idea she created a group so we can link all of our posts up together each day. Some ladies will just be doing pink and red polishes (like me) while some will be doing nail art.

So without further ado... here is my first polish: Nubar Pink Lily (from the Spring Garden collection from 2011).

Forgive the random polish marks on the bottle. It was in an unfortunate accident years ago. I dropped a box of polishes and Rescue Beauty Lounge Scrangie broke. Super sad face since this is now a very hard to find polish.

So there you have it! Day 1! We'll see how this goes; I've never posted so many days in a row before or followed through on a challenge like this.

And while you're at it...check out the posts from all of the other lovely ladies by clicking on the links below.

Hard Candy Little Hottie Lives Up To Its Name

*purchased by me*

A few days ago I was putting some new polishes away in my Melmers and doing a bit of organizing. My polishes were still all scattered and fallen over from when we moved 3 months ago and I just hadn't had the energy to fix them yet. I came across Little Hottie by Hard Candy and knew I had to have it on my nails right away.

 Taken under Ott light

Taken outside in sunlight

Little Hottie is such a gorgeous Summer color! It's bright, shimmery, glassy and sparkly and totally comes alive in the sun. At first I was a bit worried that it would be sheer as a lot of this type of polish is on the sheer side. That was not the case with this at all; two smooth coats was all I needed.

Hard Candy is available at Walmart but this is an older color and I'm not sure if you can still get it. But if you get a chance to pick it up I definitely recommend it.

Have a great week!

HPB Presents... A Valentine's Day Mani Link-Up

Hi! I'm so excited that I finally get to post this Valentine's Day mani! I did it last weekend and am absolutely in love with it but I had to wait until it was time to share. I belong to a group on Facebook called Hobby Polish Bloggers and we do a monthly link-up (the last time I participated was for Halloween). It's a really great group and is a good way to meet new people and learn new things about blogging.

I'm not big on Valentine's Day. I personally think it's over-rated and corporate; but I also love all of the colors and symbols of the season. So I sat down to do my nails and this is what I came up with.

And the polishes I used were:

White - OPI Alpine Snow

Light Pink - OPI Chic From Ears To Tail

Dark Pink - SOPI It's All About Me

Red - Zoya Sooki

Black - Wet 'n Wild Black Cream

I did the designs with dotting tools and striping tape. I am actually shocked at how well they turned out and I haven't been able to stop looking at my nails! 

Now my right hand is a different story. I didn't even want to attempt to do this with my left hand but I still wanted it to look festive. So I used some of the above colors and used some toppers to add some interest.

And the polishes I used for this hand were:

Thumb - Zoya Sooki topped with Ninja Polish Candy Cane Floam

Index Finger - OPI Chic From Ears To Tail topped with OPI Minnie Style

Middle Finger - OPI Pussy Galore

Ring Finger - OPI Chic From Ears To Tail topped with KB Shimmer Candy Cane Crush

Pinky Finger - Zoya Sooki topped with Nubar White Polka Dot

So what do you think? Like I said I'm pretty proud of it and I still have it on actually. It's chipping a bit but it's actually holding up pretty well. Make sure to check out the manis from my fellow Hobby Polish Bloggers using the links below.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Rebecca :)
