China Glaze Up & Away Collection: Heli-Yum

China Glaze Heli-Yum Nail Lacquer is a vibrant, deeply pigmented pinky-red.; It’s not the scarlet red we’ve seen over and over again for the holiday season — it’s marked by a lot of raspberry pink. It’s one of the deeper shades of the collection as well, but it is a beautiful shade of not-quite-red but more-than-pink.

Intensely pigmented, smooth to the touch, and pretty easy to apply all describe this formula and shade. I needed just one medium-thick coat to get a smooth, non-streaky application with an opaque finish. I still went for two, but that’s a personal preference; you could easily get away with just a single coat with this particular shade and formula.

    Pretty and it is a classic pink lovers must have. I just can’t resist hot pink nails for the summer or anytime. I even wear hot pink in the winter if I feel like it.

      LOL, would you believe nothing?

      I really don’t do much to my nails! The only thing that I might do is put on hand cream every so often, but I often forget :(
