November Julep Maven Box

It's that time again, Julep Maven box review.  I absolutely love my Julep boxes and look forward to them every month.  This month I went with the Bombshell box and I am super happy with it.  The added goodies this month are equally as great and will certainly go in my bag.

First up is Donna.  This one is a lovely medium blue color.  The creamy finish is very soft and application was great, with only two coats.

Next up is Trina.  Trina is a rich dark purple shimmery blend.  The color was actually even better than I had anticipated. The glitter adds an elegant finish with a splash of sparkle.  Again only two coats needed on this one.  Trina would be perfect all on its own.

The other item this month was the Pink Grapefruit Body Frosting.  This stuff smells so yummy!  It was easy to work with and did not leave a greasy feel.  All in all, another great box this month.  If you are interested in becoming a Julep Maven just click on the icon in the upper right portion on this page.  Be sure to use code MAVEN50 to get 50% off you first box.  Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you guys again real soon.

Etsy Shop Of The Week: Berry's Creations

Hello everyone! Hope you guys have been doing great!  Today I have another Etsy shop for you guys.  Berry's Creations is a one stop shop kind of place.  From nail polish to nail art, they have it all.  Today I am going to show you guys a duo set they sell that just work beautifully together.

Gold Glam and Silver Baby are a super fine glitter combo with a hit of holo.  They are sold in pairs and work great all on their own but I figure I would pair them for my mani.

I went with no undies, just glitter.  I placed four layers of the silver and then three coats of gold in a gradual gradient. That may sound like a lot of drying time but this stuff dried super quick!

Is it just me or would this not be the most amazing mani for a wedding?  I love both bottles equally.  Application was amazing and dry time was super quick.  I look forward to picking up some more of their polish in the near future.  I also got a few different loose glitters to do nail art projects with that I will be showing off soon so keep your eyes out for that.  So go check our Berry's Creations and be sure to use the code ModelCityPolish to get 10% off your order.  Until next time, have a great day!

Different Dimension Holiday Polish

Hello everyone!  Today I have some more awesome polish from Different Dimension.  Missi has out done herself again with another amazing collection.  The three I have to show today are Hurry Down The Chimney Tonight, Think of All the Fellas That I Haven't Kissed, and Christmahanakwanzika (did I spell that right?).  All of them are packed with glitter, go on flawless, and are just perfect.

First up I would like to show you Hurry Down The Chimney Tonight.  This one is filled with various white and red glitter with a clear base.  The fun shapes remind me peppermint bark.  I paired this one with Spoiled by Wet n Wild Permission To Proceed.  The bright green was the perfect background for the unique shaped glitter.

Next up I have Think Of All The Fellas That I Haven't Kissed.  This one is packed with small purple and blue glitter.  I used a Julep Renee as a base and then applied just one coat of Kissed.  Glitter distribution was perfect!

I love the light purple base.  The glitter really stand out well.

Lastly I have Christmahanakwanzika.  Wow, I think she named that one as a joke for the bloggers.... that's tough to spell correctly.  That aside, the name is prefect for this blend.  It really does have all the colors to cover Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa. Again packed with glitter and makes for a perfect top coat.  I paired it with Julep Kate and it ended up having a Jawbreaker look to it.

Love it over white.

It looks like candy!

I've said it once, I'll say it again, I love Different Dimensions.  All of the polish I own from Missi has been perfect!  Now before I leave you I want to bring up one more item from Different Dimensions.  They sell cuticle balm sticks that are must have with the cold months ahead.  I pick one up when I ordered Horde and Murloc about a month ago.  After a month of use I have noticed a huge difference and even have my husband on it now.  The stick makes it super easy to carry on the go and a no mess application.  My next order I place I will certainly stock up on these, especially the Birthday Cake scent mmmmmm.  Have a great day and I'll see you guys tomorrow.

Etsy Shop of the Week: Glitzology

Hello everyone!  Long time no see.  Sorry I wasn't around last week, I was in a funk and super busy.  I am back and ready to show you guys some super awesome polish from Glitzology.  This is a really new shop and already is making their mark in the polish world.  They have super cute blends at crazy, cheap prices.  Today I have three different blends to show you.

I guess subconsciously I went patriotic with my selections.

These bottles are packed with glitter!

First up is Snow Day.  This one surprised me and ended up being my favorite out of the group.  Snow Day is packed with various white and iridescent glitters and has a iridescent blue tinted base.  I paired this one with Bluey from butter London and needless to say it is perfect!

I swear I have wrapping paper that looks just like this.

I love the metallic blue finish!

Next up is Little Red Corvette.  Who doesn't love Prince?!  I had to have one from the "Artist Formally Known As..." collection.  Little Red Corvette is a red jelly base filled with tons of different size and shape red glitter.  This polish was so packed with glitter  that it was a little troublesome to apply.  It only took two coats to get a opaque finish with the base color but the glitter was heavier in some areas so you will need to work with it a little to get even glitter placement.

I love the color!

Again only two coats, great coverage and tons of glitter.

Last up is My Viking Boyfriend.  This one is another glitter bomb.  It is filled with more blue and silver glitter than you could ever imagine.  I love the colors and the silver holographic glitter add an extra little sparkle.

Three coats and solid coverage.

It kinda looks like ground up gems on my fingers.

I look forward to seeing what Glitzology produces in the coming months.  I think there is great potential with this company to produce to amazing stuff.  Head on over and check out all of her other awesome blends and be sure to use code VIKINGBIRTHDAY25 to get 25% off your order.  I hope you all have a great day and I'll see you tomorrow with some more awesome indie polish.

Julep Morgan and China Glaze Glitter Goblin

Hello everyone!  So who is super excited for Halloween?  I know I am and the next few days I will try to share some more festive nails.  Today I have Julep Morgan and China Glaze Glitter Goblin.  The Julep I received in this months Trick or Treat mystery box and the China Glaze I pick up in a four pack Halloween Set at Sally's.

Morgan is a very rich purple with a metallic finish.  Personally, I probably wouldn't wear it by itself but as a base it is awesome.  Application was reasonable with only two coats for full coverage.  

Morgan

Next, Glitter Goblin.  This one is part of China Glaze's Halloween line and I am so glad I got my hands on this one.  It is packed with a burnt orange glitter and silver holographic glitter.  Super shiny and goes on great.  I only used one coat in this mani so I think this bottle will last me a long time.

Glitter Goblin

So there you go, simple Halloween nails for when you are in a hurry up and go situation.  I really look forward to seeing all the different Halloweeny nails over the next few days.  I can't wait to see you guys again and hope you all have a wonderful day!
