MCP Christmas comes early!

     Hello everyone! Here is the promised review! As you might know, I am a total Model City Polish fangirl! Nina sure knows how to make some amazing polishes. It can be hard to stand out in the indie polish world, but something about Model City Polish's nail polish just works! I now have six polishes in my collection!

 (Back row: Fall Fest, Strawberry Jam, Seize the Rainbow

Bottom row: Sugar Plum, Jolly Happy Soul, Spearmint)

     So, when I saw a post on the MCP facebook about possibly reviewing and sampling some of the very promising Christmas collection I jumped right on it! I was hoping to get "O Christmas Tree" and "You're a Mean One," but I won't complain! (Because I'm just going to buy them later! Stay tuned for a review :P) I did end of receiving Sugar Plum, Jolly Happy Soul, Spearmint.

     The first one that I tested was the glittery "Jolly Happy Soul."

 (From the left: one coat, two coats, three coats)

     I *adore* this polish!! It is packed with black bars, black squares, and red and white hex glitter suspended in a clear iridescent base. This is a total glitter bomb! You don't need to go about picking glitter to get an even coverage on the nail. Normally, I hate anything to do with bar glitter but it works really well in this polish. I think you can get away with not using undies with "Jolly Happy Soul" because of how busy it is. One or two coats works great if you want to have some great statement nails but don't want too much going on. Two coats is ideal for me!

     Next was "Spearmint."

  (From the left: one coat, two coats, three coats)

     This polish is very sheer and is completely opaque at three coats. It has a beautiful shimmer to it and is very similar to Seize the Rainbow. The color compliments the holographic shine very well. It is beautiful and very Christmas-y. It reminds me of a tinsel or ice covered Christmas tree!

     Last, but not least, is "Sugar Plum!"

  (From the left: one coat, two coats, three coats)

     This polish is much stronger in color than "Spearmint" and only requires two coats. I added three for good measure. It also has a light and catching holographic shine! It's name is perfect. It reminds me to the Sugar Plum Fairy in The Nutcracker! This nail polish really captures the magic and beauty of the famous fairy.

     All in all, these polishes were great! I would have to say that Holly Jolly Soul is my favorite out of these three!I love how unique the glitter is! Its iridescence really pops!

      

     After testing, I decided to see what "Holly Jolly Soul" looked like on both "Spearmint" and "Sugar Plum." Not too bad! I think I like it best on "Spearmint," but it doesn't look too bad on "Sugar Plum."

Thanks so much to MCP for giving me the opportunity to review these wonderful nail polishes! Looking forward to see what comes next!

Coming Soon to a blog near you...

So excited!
Stay tuned!!

Update :(

Hello there! I'm having minor camera troubles hence why there have been no posts. I'm working on getting that back up and running! Don't worry...Nail Nerdiness isn't dead :D

Finally!

I finally made it home and got my trick or treat nail packages from 365 Days of Color and Julep.  Swatches coming soon! There are so likes and dislikes for each! So stay posted!!

On another note, I went and got my nails done the other day. I didn't want them painted anything crazy since I like the way I do them. So, I got a simple french manicure. The main point of going was to get my nails shaped and trimmed professionally, since I'm terrible at it!

Fight like a girl!

Here are my breast cancer awareness nails for the week! <3

Trick or Treat! (a few weeks early)

Uh Oh...here is a prime example of my addiction to nail polish! I got this in an email and I couldn't resist :X

 

A beautiful bracelet, skull scarf and two polishes all for the price of $19.99. With a membership to Julep you get $3.99 off! I live in Mass. so I had to pay tax, so it ended up costing $19.99 anyway. But, I'd rather pay $19.99 than $22.99! Pretty great deal for everything you get!

 These polishes are beautiful: a dark, sexy black with purple glitter and a flirty, redish-pink glitter polish.

I can't wait to get it! I will be testing them out and posting about them here, don't you worry! I don't know which to try first, though. I guess I'll have time to decide since I opted for the cheaper 5-7 day delivery.

Edit:
I read the ad wrong! It was a mystery box that *could* include all those items. Check my other post to see what I did end up getting!
