Nothing To Disclose
Happy Valentine's Day! I'm super proud of myself for actually making it through all 14 days - especially when I thought I wasn't going to make it towards the end. I also want to thank all those bloggers who participated with me! It's a lot of work to come up with 14 different polishes, nail art designs or just blog postings in general! To close this all out, I have Glam Polish POW! from the Knockout Part 1 collection.
I used a base coat of Duri Rejuvacote, 2 coats of polish and finished with Glisten & Glow H K Girl Top Coat. I really liked the brush on this polish - it's round but it's also fluffy which I like fluffy brushes when it comes to holos.
So overall, this is a pretty pink - it goes well with my skin tone and the holographic sparkles just make me feel like Barbie threw up glitter - but in a good way. The sparkles are much more pronounced than yesterday's F.U.N Lacquer but that may also be because of the lighter base (pink vs rust red). It seems rather accurate to call this POW!

Last summer, I went through this "BUY ALL THE THINGS" phase and one of my brands to try was F.U.N Lacquer, which stands for Fabulously Unique Nail Lacquer. I purchased the entire Summer 2015 collection which included Goodness Of The Dawn, a candy apple red polish with gold and red holographic glitters.
I used a base of Duri Rejuvacote, 2 coats of polish and finished with Glisten & Glow H K Girl top coat. The polish dries slightly bumpy and matte so a top coat is essential.
I'm not a huge fan of this polish despite how beautiful it is. The base red just isn't my cup of tea - it has more brown to it than I'd prefer. Also it's a scattered holographic polish so yes, glittery but only in direct sun. The linear holographic look is very hard to see.

I almost didn't make it today for my 14 Days of Valentine's. It's been another rough week so what better way to celebrate than with some butter LONDON? Today I have Pillar Box Red, a red-orange creme. I don't own a lot of butter LONDON polishes but I do love how they line up so pretty in their bottles. The black cap is a false cap that can be pulled off to reveal a smaller round handle.
I used a base coat of Duri Rejuvacote, 2 thin coats of polish and finished with Glisten & Glow H K Girl top coat. The formula was really nice - a little thin with the first coat and then totally opaque with the second coat. I got a little on my sidewalls but was able to easily clean up with red staining.
I still haven't gotten in to get my nails handled but I tried to file them bit and used my Weleda Cuticle Softening Pen. I'm hoping next week will be a little smoother so I can get a manicure in. This is a great red for not just manicures but I'm actually pretty interested in using it for a pedicure too!

Are you ready for this? Today I have Different Dimension Cosmic Ray, an intense pink holographic polish with added flakies and holo microglitters from the Cosmologically Speaking Part 2 Collection. This polish is wild.
I used a base coat of Duri Rejuvacote, 2 coats of polish and finished Glisten & Glow H K Girl top coat. The formula was amazing. I could have been happy with just one coat.
Bam.
The holo on this is insane. I cannot wait to wear this polish to work because while it's slightly muted in the shade, it's crazy bling in the sun. This is also a purple based pink which is one of my favorite colors.
Different Dimension is available on their website. Follow on social media: Facebook and Instagram.

Winding down now on this 14 Days of Valentine's and I knew I had to include a Zoya in there! Eden is from the Delight collection which came out in Spring 2015. It's a very basic bubblegum pink creme.
I used a base of Zoya Anchor, 2 coats of polish and finished with Zoya Armor. The formula worked well and I didn't have any issues with pooling.
Happy little bubblegum. Nom nom.
