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!

Random swatch spam!
Today I have some random swatches that are just sitting in my unposted folder. So lets get right to it!
First up I have Models Own Pinky Brown. I have to admit, this is one of the better pictures I have ever taken of my nails. I'm still working against the lovely England weather with hardly no sun, so I don't think they ever come out that great in the indoor lighting. But for this one I managed to actually even get the color shift to show up! This is 2 coats.
Next up I have for you Butter London Artful Dodger. Since I am admitting things, I have to say with all the hype I heard about this brand before I owned any, I"m not that impressed with it. It's good polish, I just don't really see anything special about it, especially not enough to justify the more expensive price tag. I have 2, and those will probably be the only 2 I ever have. I do like this blue, its a great shade. This is 3 coats.
Next up, another brand that I heard a lot of hype over that didn't live up to it, Rescue Beauty Lounge. I have Aqua Lily, a beautiful color, but again the formula didn't live up to the hype for the price. I have 2 of these as well and will probably not buy any more of these either. I do love the color, this is 3 coats.
To end on a happier note, I have Hits Hera. Hits were my first ever holos, and I love them just as much now as I did when I first saw them. They started my love affair with all things holo! This is 2 coats of Hera, actually taken in the sun this past summer!
Kind of a bummer post today, what with 2 brands I was disappointed in, but you can't like everything! The colors are still great, and the formulas aren't bad, just not as impressive as they are made to seem. Or at least as impressive as it seemed to me they should be from the glowing praise I read before getting them.

Nail mail!
Quick post before I leave for work, yay it's Friday!! I wanted to show you what I got in the mail this week. I posted one of these already, Models Own Tropical Sun, and it's here with the other Beetlejuice colors I got. One of my best friends went to Japan for vacation, and sent me a box of goodies when she got back. I had her buy me 2 Butter Londons, and some Essie, and since she knows me so well she bought me a Japanese nail polish! I'm thrilled to have it in my collection, even though I know nothing about the brand. Here are the pics! New color will be posted this weekend, gotta decide which color to do when I get home!

Models Own Tropical Sun
Today I have Models Own Tropical Sun. I ordered two of the 3 new Beetlejuice collection and a set of 3 minis of the original Beetlejuice collection from Boots. After a nightmare trying to actually get them here, I can say they are well worth the wait! I should have received them March 31st, but due to idiots in the delivery company they finally arrived April 12th. But back to the polish. I chose this one to wear first because I was in the mood for a fun pretty orange to hopefully counter the crappy weather.
This is a very pretty color, a peachy orange that shifts to pink and gold with some shimmer to it. I foresee wearing this a lot this summer! Photos are taken inside with indoor lighting and then indirect sun. I'm not too sure that the pink shift shows up in my pictures, but at the right angle it is there. I also didn't do any clean up because when I did them last night I didn't think needed to but pictures don't lie and it appears I do have a slight bit I should have done.
