Model City Polish - Wanna Be Your Boyfriend

Happy Friday!!! Hope ya'll have some awesome weekend plans!

I woke up to a lightning strike so close the house that I heard the static crack and thunder at the same time. It was awesome! Yay thunderstorms!

Today I've got a fun, black jelly for you guys! 'Wanna Be Your Boyfriend' is one of 3 Ramones inspired polishes from Model City Polish! Wanna Be Your Boyfriend is a squishy, black jelly packed with bright teal circles (DOTS!) and small holographic teal glitters. One of the things I was really pleased about was how flat these glitters laid on the nail. I also didn't have to, as my good friend Jennifer at JK Customs would say, 'grab my fishing pole' to get the glitters out - no fishing or dabbing necessary. I also didn't feel like I needed a TON of top coat to smooth it out, it did a nice job on its own. I consider layering this over black but decided against it at the last minute and applied it 'commando style'. This is 3 coats of Wanna Be Your Boyfriend over a clear base coat.

You can snag a full size bottle of 'Wanna Be Your Boyfriend' in Model City Polish's Etsy shop for $8. You can also check out Nina's other gorgeous creations on the Model City Polish Facebook page, and her blog.

Model City Polish - Red Spinel

When I showed Mr. Fox Claws this polish he said, "If there was ever a polish MADE for you, this is it." I couldn't agree more! Raspberry-ey pink. Silver. Holo. Glitter. #dead.

'Red Spinel' by Model City Polish is a gorgeous, SUPER sparkly, holographic pink and holographic silver glitter mix in a clear base. It is so densely packed with glitter that you can actually achieve full coverage in about 3 coats! (Don't forget your Elmers Glue base coat LOL!) I experienced zero placement issues, and I was pleased that the glitter stayed where I put it; it didn't run, drag, or clump which made application a breeze. It didn't eat top coat either. One coat of Sinful Colors new 'Over The Top' Top Coat tackled it just fine. 

When I swatched this I didn't have my Elmers handy so this is 2 coats of 'Red Spinel' over Sinful Colors ' Dazzle'. I'll include a swatch of Dazzle at the end for reference. Disclaimer: This polish was sent to me for an honest review.

Model City Polish - PB&J!

So this is going to sound a bit far fetched but its the honest to goodness truth. It may even further prove that I probably need professional 'help' for my nearly perpetual 'glass half full' mentality, but here goes...

I received a press kit of 4 minis from the lovely Miss Nina at Model City Polish the day that I got home from my amaaaaaazing vacay in Cali! I was so excited that I tore the package open before I had all of my bags in from the car and OMG they were so pretty! The next morning I received a phone call from my 'boss' (while I was getting ready for work, mind you) who told me not to come in. I'd been canned. Great...main source of income GONE. But every freaking time I walked past the pretty little Model City Polishes sitting in a row on the kitchen table I thought, "God I can't wait to swatch those! They're going to be stunning!" LOL! So Nina, thanks for making a potentially dark day quite a bit brighter!

I'm going to split this review up into 4 separate posts since the sun never seems to want to work with me when I need it to and polish typically looks best in natural light. So here we go, my first adventure with Model City Polish!

PB&J by Model City Polish is a gorgeous, rich purple jelly with a mix of 2 different sized gold holo glitters. The name is PERFECT because it really does remind me of PB&J! This is 3 coats over a naked nail (well, with clear base coat of course) and SV top coat.

I think I've mentioned it before, but I have a hard time with jellies even though I love the look of them. I usually skip over them because I feel like it takes to long to get a good amount of VNL coverage. That said, application of PB&J was a breeze as long as I stayed with thin even coats, and 3 coats to full coverage was easy to achieve!
