It&#8217;s like almost every other holiday. Too comercialised, but OK. It&#8217;s a day when you should tell your beloved person that you love him or her. It&#8217;s a day when a man should buy a red rose to his girlfriend. It is also a day when you should buy your love a cute teddy bear on which is written: &#8220;I Love You&#8221;. Oh, how original <!-- :devil: --> Oh, yes one should do all that and a lot more on Valentine&#8217;s day. But why exactly on this day and not, ie. on friday the thirteenth? Ok, it is as it is. And it&#8217;s nice to have such days when you have another reason to spoil the one person you love. And I must say, I love to give and receive presents, but I don&#8217;t need a holiday to do that. Enough said. Let&#8217;s move to the manicure I choose for Valentine&#8217;s day. It is not a pink or red one. It is <strong>E.L.F.<\/strong>&#8216;s <strong>Coral<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.parokeets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/elf-coral-1b1.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-729\" title=\"E.L.F. - Coral\" alt=\"E.L.F. - Coral\" src=\"https:\/\/www.parokeets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/elf-coral-1b1.gif\" width=\"330\" height=\"430\" \/><\/a>It&#8217;s a lovely coral shade packed with gold shimmer. It was easy to apply, because it is very well pigmented. But you&#8217;ll need two coats to get an even application.<\/p>\n<p>After somer time I added some &#8220;sugar&#8221; to it. I applied one coat of <strong>Essence&#8217;s Ice Sparkles<\/strong> from the Trend Edition <strong>Arctic Lights<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.parokeets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/elf-coral-essenceicespar-1b1.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-730\" title=\"E.L.F. - Coral; Essence Arctic Lights - Ice Sparkles\" alt=\"E.L.F. - Coral; Essence Arctic Lights - Ice Sparkles\" src=\"https:\/\/www.parokeets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/elf-coral-essenceicespar-1b1.gif\" width=\"330\" height=\"430\" \/><\/a>I don&#8217;t really like the end result.

Sometimes it leaves brush strokes because of that and the only reason they are there, is because of the inappropriate brush.<\/p>\n<p>And what is your Valentine&#8217;s manicure?
