The perfect Valentine's Day reds from Sally Hansen and NYC!

Looking for the perfect reds to wear for Valentine's Day? I've got a Sally Hansen Patent Gloss red and an NYC Expert Last lip gloss in red to showcase today - could they be perfect for you? Check them out after the cut!

Isn't the true red of Moto beautiful? This is a new finish for Sally Hansen - patent gloss. High shine! It is said to mimic the finish of patent leather shoes. This polish could have been a one-coater, but I went with two to be safe. This formula was smooth and went on easily. Patent Gloss is currently available in 4 shades. Along with the red, there's a deep blue, a tan and a black.

This long-wearing lip shade is Rockaway Ruby from the Expert Last Lip Lacquer line. This has a doe foot applicator (as you can see from the collage at the top of the post), and it glides on without resistance. I put this shade on and wore it around my house for the night. The photos on my lips are after about an hour of wear. I was sipping on a drink and watching TV. You can see it has bled a little, as I did not wear a lip liner. But I do believe it still looks good!
