I would like to share a beauty product review of Orly Elation Generation in combination with a quick Valentine manicure.

Elation Generation is part of Orly’s Hope and Freedom collection that will be released March 2013.

Elation Generation is a popping pink jelly-ish polish with holo glitter throughout. Application was a bit thick but I expected that with glitter packed polish. I applied two coats to get full coverage. This is one of those “shade-shifting” polishes that can be difficult to capture in pictures. I couldn’t capture just how beautiful it looks, so I’m putting up a few pictures under different light and angles.

Elation Generation definitely felt very girly and romantic to me so I couldn’t help but to make it into a Valentine manicure by adding some hearts. I used Bundle Monster plates BM08, BM202 and Pure Ice Silver Mercedes.

I give Orly’s Elation Generation 4 brains.

I would like to share a beauty product review of Essence Colour & Go “Grey-t To Be Here” along with a simple Valentine manicure.

I picked up Grey-t To Be Here at Ulta. It is a lovely shade of gray with pink shimmer but at times it also seems to have a golden/orange shimmer as well. Application was easy and I don’t mind the new bottle design. I think it is a good deal at $1.99 only when you use a Ulta coupon to purchase it. I feel for the size it is a bit pricey since you can get a full size bottle of polish for the same price. I think if you are going for a Fifty Shades of Grey theme this would work wonderfully or if you just love Grey this a wonderful color to add to your collection.

I applied two coats of Grey-t To Be Here then stamped with images from Bundle Monster BM02, BM09, and BM17 using Rimmel English Rose nail polish to achieve a very simple and quick Valentine manicure.
