Whimsical Ideas by Pam - Whimsical Valentines Collection 2018

Hi friends!

It's February!  So that means it is time to break out off the the red and pink polishes.  Valentine's Day is a pretty lame holiday in my opinion.  But it is a nice excuse to get all cutesy with hearts and kisses decorations. Each year, I always see some great new polishes from Whimsical Ideas by Pam for the holiday.  I love Pam's collection because there is a mix of finishes and formulas to choose from.  In this collection, we have glitter toppers, sheers and super bling.  I am sure there will be at least one shade that everyone will like.  The Whimsical Valentines Collection 2018 is available now...so let's take a look!

 Galentines Day - A clear based metallic glitter bomb with light gold, rose gold and bronze flakes and glitters.  This polish is stunning!  It is super metallic and shiny with a lovely rose gold feel.  It is not too pink and it is not too gold...it's just right.  You can wear this shade as both a topper and as a full mani.  I am showing you it here as a full mani.  This is two coats with glossy top coat.  So shiny!

Belly Button - A pale nude sheer with a jelly like formula.  This may not be everyone's cup of tea but I adore sheer shades like this.  You will never get this fully opaque but that is sure does make for a classy mani.  The batch that I was sent is a little more sheer than what will be in the final product but you can see overall effect is a shiny nude manicure.  The formula was great!  This is three coats with glossy top coat.  But it dried down very shiny even without a top coat.

Ben and Cherries - A clear based glitter topper with a mix of dark red, dark brown and dark pink glitters in various sizes.  There are small heart shaped glitters, too!  The glitter pay off was good.  I didn't have to fish for the hearts but I did manipulate them into the spots I wanted.  I am showing you one coat over Belly Button with a glossy top coat here.

Marrakesh Express - A clear based glitter bomb with light gold holographic glitters in various small sizes and bright matte aqua/turquoise hexes.  Another stunner here!  I really, really like the combo of gold and turquoise.  The formula is good as well.  The glitter is dense, so it covers completely with two coats.  But you could also use this a a glitter topper for a different look.  I just like blingy nails :)  I am showing you two coats with glossy top coat here.

Sweet Spots - A bright warm medium pink creme packed with red matte hex glitters and subtle shimmer.  This is a classic Valentine's Day color.  The creme base makes this one a little finicky with application.  It is best not a use too thick of a coat and not to manipulate the polish too much.  It does dry down a little bumpy.  So you may like two coats of top coat for a smooth finish.  I am showing you two coats with one coat of glossy top coat.

Small Talk - A clear based glitter topper with a mix of white matte hex glitters, semi-transparent pinky/purple hexes and red lip glitters.  Well isn't this just a fun little Valentine's Day topper?  The lip glitters are pretty cute.  They weren't too big that they were hard to work with.  You do require a little bit of placement but I got them on every dip of the brush into the bottle.  I am showing you one coat over Zoya "Dot" with a glossy top coat.

What do you think of this fun little collection?  I am totally digging the blingy shades!  I wear pink and red polishes the least out of all of the colors, so I am drawn to the less traditional holiday colors here.  Which is your favorite?  All polishes are $10 each.  You can only order through email via the Whimsical Ideas by Pam Facebook page.  Stop by and get your orders in before Valentine's Day!


Many thanks!
