2 Model City Resident Evil polishes!

Today I have for you something I am very excited about. When Nina of Model City said she was doing a Resident Evil inspired collection, I couldn't wait to see them. I love the Resident Evil series, I have played Resident Evil 2 more times than I can count, its a favorite of mine. I was so excited when Nina said she was sending me 2 of the new colors to review, so here they are!

First up I have S.T.A.R.S.  S.T.A.R.S is a rich blue jelly blend with gold holographic glitter in two sizes and gold holographic stars. A base coat is recommended by Nina, though I had no issues with staining. Better safe than sorry! This blue is so deep looking, its going to be a favorite of mine I can tell. I used 3 coats and top coat with no issues with the glitters.

Next I have Licker, some of the best monsters in the game! This is a coral base with pink shimmer and red flecks. I again used 3 coats and top coat. This one started out really sheer, but then built up very nicely by the next coat. Out of habit to try to ensure max coverage in photos I almost always use 3 coats, shorter nails will possibly only need 2.

I really love both of these colors and cant wait to be able to purchase the rest of the collection!

The Resident Evil collection will be launched on March 22nd at 12pm CST over at Model City Polish so set your alarms to be sure not to miss out!

Model City Wear With Caution

Hello! Hope everyone is having a good weekend. I've come down with a bit of a cold but otherwise just busy with last minute things before we move out of our house Thursday. I had planned on being able to clear out my unposted swatches folder, but after looking at all the pictures I deleted everything. I wasn't happy with my crappy short nails or the picture quality, so I only have a few pictures I am happy with so I will have to work on redoing everything else in between swatching anything new I come across. So for now, it will be the few things I do have and then whatever I wear or get new for the next few months until we get settled into our new house and I have all my babies back! Being the polish addict I am though, I already have a dozen or so polishes waiting for me at my inlaws, and am planning on taking with me in my suitcase as many as I can and mailing as many as I can ahead of time, so I wont be without polish!

Today though I have a color that is absolutely stunning! I love this one so much I have worn it twice, plus as a pedicure, even though I have hundreds of untrieds! It is Model City Wear With Caution, and it is the prettiest purple color with the most amazing holo! You may remember that I have said holo is my favorite finish, well this is my favorite holo I have at this moment. Purple is my favorite color, so give me an awesome purple holo and I'm set! This is 3 coats, with Cult Nails Wicked Fast top coat (my favorite quick dry top coat) which you can see does not dull the holo at all. It went on great, formula was nice and smooth. If I didn't have my CNS with the french tip, I think 2 coats would have been enough for complete opacity. The white on these is very white and harder to cover. Model City makes wonderful polish, everything I have is very consistent in formula.

On to the pics! The top picture was taken outside in bright direct sunlight, and the bottom picture was taken inside in my laundry room with no direct light, just what came in through the window. Amazing holo even in normal lighting!

I hope you can see why I love this polish so much. It is definitely one going with me in my suitcase! What do you think? Do you love holo as much as I do?

Model City review

Is everyone having a good weekend? Mine has been pretty lazy, which is always good! I have 8 1/2 days left of work and then school's out for the summer!! I'm so excited. Especially since my CNS nails should be here tomorrow, then I just have to wait until next Thursday and I can put them on :).

Today I have for you a review of 3 Model City polishes. When Nina sent out the package with the giveaway polishes, she also included these three for review. I am wearing the impress stick on nails again, but with my CNS almost here I plan on doing lots of swatching with them!

On to the pictures!

indie spam

Happy Friday! Sorry for not posting, with going back to work I have had trouble getting my schedule back. So since I don't really have any kind of post planned I decided to write up a spam post of some indies I have swatched but not gotten around to posting. I have a folder of over 100 pictures of different swatches that I need to get to, so expect more posts like this!

Pictures behind the cut :)
