Jior Couture - Love is... Valentine 2016 Collection


Hiya guys! I mentioned how I felt time was flying by and it was another day of just that. I rarely find myself feeling like this, but either I need to 'hurry' up or time just needs to go slower. Please guys tell me I'm not the only one feeling it haha. As we inch closer to Valentine's Day, the next few days I'll be sharing more and more new releases. For today I am sharing the Love is... Valentine Collection from Jior Couture, which consists of six beautiful polishes.


The Love is... Valentine Collection from Jior Couture is now available for purchase. Each bottle retails for $8.00 to $8.50 per full-size (15ML) bottle. The complete set in full-size retails for $45.00 while the mini size (9ML) sells for $25.00.

Jior Couture - Love is... Unconditional

Love is... Unconditional can be described as a grey (warm) to black (cold) thermal with small glitters in assorted rainbow colors. I'm usually the queen of thermal loving, but this one was a little too subtle for my tastes. I couldn't get the transition to show properly on camera, it was a super faint color change. Formula is on the sheer side and has a jelly-like application. It builds up nicely and the finish is so super glitter packed with the multi colors popping against the black. Shown here in three thin coats and sealed with a glossy topcoat.


Jior Couture - Love is... Powerful

Love is... Powerful can be described as clear base with holo micro-glitter. I adore everything about this gorgeous polish, definitely finally found my go-to silver glitter holo with this one! As my swatches show, this is a full-coverage glitter on its own. The formula has a smooth application that self-levels evenly on the nail. The finish does dry to a semi-texture due to the glitters, but a topcoat smooths them down perfectly. Shown here is two coats sealed with a glossy topcoat.


Jior Couture - Love is... Magical

Love is... Magical can be described as creamy beige/neutral with a subtle white glow in the dark. Unfortunately I could not probably capture the glow in this polish on film, it was extremely subtle on my nails. That aside, I do always get drawn into nude shades easily so I did really fall in love with this one. The formula was nicely opaque and gives great coverage in a single coat. Very nice and even consistency. Shown here is two coats sealed with a glossy topcoat.


Jior Couture - Love is... Understanding

Love is... Understanding can be described as red base with red, violet, and copper shimmer. I love how luscious the finish is and how much definition the shimmers add to the saucy shade. Again with this polish the formula has a great application and consistency. Not too thick or too thin, it glides off the brush very nicely. It is a little bit on the stainy side on removal, but mostly towards the cuticles rather than the nail bed. Shown here is two coats sealed with a glossy topcoat.


Jior Couture - Love is... Kind

Love is... Kind can be described as a medium toned violet scattered holo. These photos are taken indoors, but the holo does have a very subtle look. It shares the same smooth easy formula as the rest in this collection. Shown here in two coats and sealed with a glossy topcoat.



Jior Couture - Love is... Gentle

Love is... Gentle can be described as a bright pink creme. Who doesn't love a loud and bright color?! Normally I shy away from pinks, but when one this bright comes along I have no resistance. The formula is opaque in a single coat, but not a one coater. Definitely needs that second coat to even out and cover some sheerness. It dries to a semi-matte finish on its own. Shown here is two coats sealed with a glossy topcoat.


Overall I think this may be one of my favorite collections that I have ever experienced with Jior Couture. The colors and finishes are beautiful and so diverse, a little bit of everything. I, of course, do wish that the thermal and the glow weren't as subtle. Fun polishes like that are always nice when they 'pop, but as standard shades I do love them. Especially the beautiful Magical, such a perfect nude. Which one of these pretty shades made you fall in love?

To recap, the Love is... Valentine Collection from Jior Couture is now available for purchase. Each bottle retails for $8.00 to $8.50 per full-size (15ML) bottle. The complete set in full-size retails for $45.00 while the mini size (9ML) sells for $25.00.
