Lace and Lacquers: MAKEUP YOUR FACE: Valentine's Day Collection

Ready for some more Valentine's Day polish?! I knowwwww you are!

You know I was a fan of yesterday's V-Day polishes, sans the holiday ;] Well, I'm a bigger fan of these! These are 4 polishes by Makeup Your Face. I know y'all have seen me rave about this brand before. Because, honestly, she does good work every time. And these have truly been some of her best! When I thought I couldn't be impressed by Lauren any more.... she did it!

Swatches and review after the jump

Top: Makeup Your Face {Be You} Anti V-Day Party and Treat Yourself

Bottom: Makeup Your Face {Be Loved} Be Mine, Valentine and No Flowers, Just Polish

This Valentine's Collection is split into 2 parts, The Be You Set and the Be Loved Set. You can buy them as duos, single or the entire 4 polish set.

First, we'll take a look at the Be Loved Set of the Collection:

Makeup Your Face Be Mine, Valentine

Be Mine, Valentine is "a shimmery clear base polish with red metallic hexagons and shreds as well as pink & white hearts". Just about the epitome of a Valentine's polish, huh?! It reminds me of diamonds and pearls on Valentine's Day. Yes, it could be layered but, I kinda like the look of it on it's own.

I did 3 coats of BMV. The glitter shreds coverage is good, the hearts aren't too bad to get out (but, I wasn't trying haha) and dry time is the best out of the 4 I'm showing you today.

And the 2nd half of the Be Loved Set is:

Makeup Your Face No Flowers, Just Polish

No Flowers, Just Polish (can't agree more! Haha) is a "red based polish with scattered holographic dust, iridescent glitter of 3 sizes, pink glitter and pink holographic with white hexagons. It also contains pink & white hearts". I like this more than I expected, the glitter mix and the jelly play very well together.

I did 2 coats of NFJP. It was more opaque than I was planning for, which made me happy! If you don't have patience for jelly dry time - I suggest you try Makeup Your Face's jellies. Truly one of the fastest drying jelly Indies I've tried! Glitter coverage is great and hearts aren't too hard to get out (again, I wasn't trying!).

Next is the Be You half of the collection:

Makeup Your Face Anti V-Day Party over Revlon Peach Petal

This was my 2nd favorite. The mix is just AWESOME! This is a glitter to write home about. Anti V-Day Party is "a huge array of multi-colored glitters in all shapes and sizes in a sea of black hexagons and squares". Black, gold, pink, fuchsia, purple, blue, green, red, yellow and more! Oh my, there's a lot of color going on here!

I did 2 coats over Revlon Peach Petal. The coverage was spot on, no dipping and dabbing for this one. Dry time was good, but I suggest you wait between coats to prevent dragging. :)

Last but not least, the 2nd half of the Be You Set:

Makeup Your Face Treat Yourself

Treat Yourself is a"milky ever so slightly pink-ish polish with tons of magenta hexagons and squares with a sprinkling of light blue and teal glitters". I'm mad at Lauren. She knows it too bahaha! She's made me LOVE a white based glitter polish. No one has done that since Pretty and Polished Jawbreaker back in March '12. Okay it's sliiiiightly pink BUT I find it more white ;]

This was 2 coats, no undies. It has great glitter coverage, opaqueness and dry time. Lauren did this white based right. It isn't clumpy, it has a perfect smooth application. It also doesn't take a day and a half to dry, you know how some white polishes are!

Like I mentioned above: you can buy them in 2 part sets, individually or the entire 4 piece collection! Get your V-day on! :P

Hope ya'll are having a good weekend!
