Valentine’s Day is almost here and you may be wondering what manicure you’re going to do for the holiday.
So in this post, we’re going to show you a few of our color picks for the season.
Starting with the lightest, sheerest shade and moving to the most opaque, most color saturated shade, each swatch below will be followed by a description of the color.
To begin the festivities, we’ll kick it off with a light pink OPI color -
OPI Pussy Galore swatch
OPI Pussy Galore
Pussy Galore (NLM50) is from the 2013 Bond Girls Collection. Shown in two coats, it’s a sheer light pink nail polish with red shimmer in a textured finish.
Pussy Galore has a beautiful iridescence to it and the formula is known as “Liquid Sand,” it is meant to be textured even with a top coat.
Morgan Taylor Polished Up swatch
Morgan Taylor Polished Up
Polished Up (50019) is a pink-mauve nail polish with neutral tones. Shown in two coats, it offers a creamy self-leveling formula.
The brush on Morgan Taylor bottles is nice. It is rounded just slightly which allows you to get very close to the cuticle line without having to do any touch ups, making it an easy-to-apply manicure.
Sally Hansen Pink Aurora swatch
Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Prismatic Shine Pink Aurora
Pink Aurora (040), shown in three coats, is a sheer cherry magenta pink polish with blue, green and purple color-shifting sparkles. In natural daylight, it has a blue-purple holographic flair, very similar to OPI’s Pompeii Purple.
The Sally Hansen Insta-Dri line is nice. The bottles have a wide, flat brush, making manicures easy and it is a quick-dry formula.
essie cupid’s beau swatch
essie cupid’s beau
cupid’s beau (1666) is from a limited edition 2021 valentine’s day collection. While essie is no longer producing it, you can still find cupid’s beau floating around for sale via third parties.
Shown in two coats, this is a vibrant coral-red shimmer nail polish. It is a cheerful shade that can brighten up the dark winter days.
China Glaze Flame-boyant swatch
China Glaze Flame-Boyant
Flame-Boyant is from China Glaze’s 2017 Summer Reign collection.
Shown in two coats, it’s a bright, fiery orange-red nail polish that dries somewhat matte. However, a little top coat does add the shine back. If you’re needing a vibrant pop of color in your life, this is the one to go with.
