Model City Polish - Licker

Hey all,

I liked my last mani so much I wanted to do it all over again!

This time featuring Model City Polish - Licker and some chevrons.

Licker is a beautiful coral polish full of itty bitty red flecks.

And the flecks really glow in the light, warm and brilliant like fire.

I didn't expect to love this one as much as I do. ^_^



artificial light

I used one coat of Model City Polish - Hanging On A Vine on my accent finger
and two chevrons, for what turned out to be a bit of a military look.
The only Army I'm signing up for is the Model City Army!

Licker is just phenomenal in the sunlight. Bright and vibrant without being neon.
Quite a kick ass coral, I must say. Not usually a colour I gravitate to.
But I'm definitely being converted. :)

Hope you all have a great week!
In one week my little brother starts high school!
Mauahaha! The horror begins! ;P

Model City Polish - Electric Lemonade

Hey all,

All these fall collections coming out now are bumming me out.

I mean they're absolutely beautiful, but we still have a month of glorious summer left!

I may have graduated 10 years ago but I still can't shake my complete dread of fall.

And I don't know why, I actually like fall a lot!

But I also really really like wearing flip flops and not even thinking about jackets.

I wear flip flops to work everyday, even though I'm not allowed to wear them while I work.

So I bring a pair of socks and change into real shoes. I'm like Mr. Rogers, I even have a work cardigan.

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood. Wont you be my neighbor?

Let's keep these hazy day vibes going with an amazing polish from this summer.

Model City Polish - Electric Lemonade

Electric Lemonade is a bright blue full of pink and blue flecks.

It's so incredibly vibrant it blows my mind! And the flecks give it such depth and intrigue. 

This polish just sucks me right in, gorgeous doesn't even begin to describe. 

Electric Lemonade is such a perfect name and inspired my accent nail.

I've been waiting for the right time to bust out Nail Vinyls Lightening Bolts. Finally! (/◕ヮ◕)/  

I used Model City Polish - Corn Maze and don't they make the most awesome couple?

I totally felt like a superhero wearing this.

All I need is a skin tight suit and I'm good to go (no, just no)

I hope you're all having a good week.

I've been on a friendship bracelet binge and it feels so good.

I may have bought over $40 worth of floss ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Oops.

Go big or go home.

Father's Day

Hey all,

Three weeks later and I'm finally getting to my Father's Day mani.

Featuring...

Model City Polish - Anti-Virus

Anti-Virus is a bright lime green jelly full of two sizes of holographic hex glitter.

I paired it with Zoya - Raven for a look that screams my Dad.

Green and black are his favs.

I used varying sizes of straight NailVinyls for the stripes.

The stripes are a nod to when I was a little girl making friendship bracelets.

Dad would always ask for a striped green/black one and would wear them till they fell off.

Dad was quite impressed with the twinkle and shine of the holographic glitter.

He let out a few "holy crap"s while we were out in the sunshine.

And I got a few random complements from strangers too! Way to go MCP!

Yet again the weekend has brought with it rain clouds. *Curses and swears*

But whatever, Lucas and I are going out to celebrate his birthday tonight, so screw the weather.

We'll make our own sunshine.

 Hope you all have a great weekend!

Scofflaw Steps

Hey all,

Of course as soon as the weekend approaches, so do the rain clouds.

Was it me? Did I do it?

Should I not have said "let's go to a lake this weekend"?

Is it because I just received polish I want to swatch in the sun? 

How did I anger the weather gods and what can I do to set things right?

If there's a rain dance, there must also be a sun dance.

And if there is I hope it involves lots of headbanging.

During a recent sale I decided to try out some NailVinyls.

I LOVE tape manis. They're the first kind of nail art I tried and excelled at.

But I hate cutting out pieces of tape. It's so finicky and time consuming.

If you're with me on this you'll love NailVinyls!

They have quite an awesome assortment of vinyls for all your tape mani needs.

Lightening bolts, chevrons, classic french tips... something for everyone.

 For my first try I decided on a simple getting to know you manicure.

I used a base of A England - Encore Margot then laid down Chevron vinyls
and covered it in Scofflaw - Love Letter From Scofflaw

Love Letter from Scofflaw is a super interesting black polish loaded with silver flecks & red and pink sparkles.
I really love the warmth it has, like the glow of dyeing embers.
 

 

And the nail vinyls worked perfectly! Such a breeze to use.

I highly recommend for all tape mani aficionados.

Next time I'm trying out the lightening bolts! So excited.

 

Alright people, I'm off to the dentist now.

Yep, on a Saturday morning because I'm a masochist.

Have a good one!
