Venique Breast Cancer Awareness Set 2013

I hope you’re all having a nice Tuesday. As for me, I’m a little bummed about some work stuff, but there isn’t much I can do about it so I’ll just have to deal. Fortunately, I feel a little better today especially since my headache went away. I filed my nails down pretty short over the weekend since they weren’t all the same size after the break. Now I am sharing a bunch of older swatches I did when my nails were a little longer. I actually love my nails in this picture because they are the perfect length: not too long and not too short. I have a heck of a time with my pointer finger nail because that is the one that always breaks no matter what I do. Now that I am growing them again, I am going to use my bottle of Rejuvacote religiously and see if that makes a difference. I’ll be sure to let you guys know once I’ve had a chance to use it for a few weeks.

As you all know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and we are pretty much overloaded with PINK everything. While I like that that people are are raising awareness, this has also become extremely commercial. Wherever there is a buck to be made, you know that people are going to find a way to exploit it. I’m not going to get preachy about this and there are a lot of great articles out there about this subject. When I picked up a few BCA sets recently, I was lured by the pink polishes (cause I like pink). I have a very personal story that I will be sharing in a post later this month. It’s difficult to write, and I’m working on it with someone else so I hope to get it out soon. Let’s take a look at the three polishes from the Venique Breast Cancer Awareness Set for 2013.

Venique Galoshing In The Rain 1Venique Galoshing In The Rain 2Venique Galoshing In The Rain is a very delicate pink hue. It’s very creamy and glossy, but the formula can be a little difficult. As with most very light and creamy shades, this polish tends to be streaky so I recommend 3 coats to even it out completely.

Venique Secured With Straps 1Venique Secured With Straps 2My favorite polish in this set is Venique Secured With Straps because as you all probably know, I love hot pink everything. I’m kind of a weirdo about hot pink because for the longest time I hated anything pink and now all of a sudden I love it. I didn’t really notice the bald spots on this mani so I apologize for the sloppiness. I definitely recommend allowing enough dry time in between coats to minimize this issue.

Venique Pink Stiletto over Galoshing In The Rain 1Venique Pink Stiletto over Galoshing In The Rain 2I’ve gotta say that I’m not really a fan of shard type glitters. I hate saying shard because I always think of this scene:

I know. Totally gross. Anyway, this is Venique Pink Stiletto over Galoshing In The Rain. I kind of like how this looks but still, I’m not a HUGE fan of this look.

So let me know: are you a pink fan? Thanks so much for stopping by today!

  1. I love the pinks. That first one is a very cool shade and it looks so fresh. I don’t think I have anything like it. When I first started wearing nail polish all my colors were pink. Now I wear pink less often than any other color. I do like that cool toned pink though.

  2. I actually like Galoshing in the Rain the best, but I like Secured with Straps, too. I can take or leave Pink Stiletto. I can definitely leave sharting, hahaha.

  3. While I can think of a lot of better ways than painting my nails to honor my friends/family who have survived (or succumbed to) breast cancer, I sure love pink… And if people who would already buy nail polish buy a bottle for which a portion of the proceeds go to a good cause, more power to them!

    So many pinks!!! That last photo would make an awesome Valentine’s mani.
