My Top Valentine's Day Polish Picks!

Let's talk about some good Valentine's Day nail polish. Not that we wouldn't wear these shades on every day of the year if we wanted but these shades are especially appropriate for celebrating Valentine's Day, going out with your sweetheart, your friends, or your kids. Why not get into the spirit of all things red and pink? 

My #1 Top Pick: OPI Sweetheart
By far, my favorite pale pink polish. By far. This one doesn't have as much name recognition as OPI Bubble Bath or Essie Ballet Slippers when it comes to that perfect pale pink but in my opinion, it is light years better. It is more of a milky pink that goes on opaque after 3 coats unlike some of the others that tend to appear streaky. If you like the other shades I mentioned then you will really love this.

OPI Red:
This is pretty much my favorite red. It's bright and eye-catching and reminds me of a candy apple the way it shines when you have a good two coats on there. This is a very creamy red, no shimmer or sheen, yet very sophisticated and special.

OPI Pink Friday, Nikki Minaj collection
The nail polish version of Nikki's famous MAC Pink Friday lipstick. This is a creamy, milky pink but its much more of a bubble-gum Barbie pink which makes it very wearable for most skin tones. If you can get your hands on this one, its definitely worth it. If you want more of a statement pink than the french manicure look, go for Pink Friday.

Sephora by OPI, Sample Sale:
Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous metallic candy-apple red! This is a date night shade for sure. Metallic sheen is very on-trend right now and it looks amazing on nails.

Sally Hansen Gem Crush:
If you want to spice up your manicure, these glittery polishes will certainly do the trick. Lady Luck is a magenta with large holographic glitter while Razzler Dazzler is a golden pink with silver glitter. And if you are looking for a good purple glitter, Be-Jeweled is a pretty purple with larger light pink glitter.
