Model City: "More Than Words", I Love Your Sugar Cookie!

Hello Lacquer Luvers! A few weeks ago I just so happened to be on Facebook at the right time because I came across a flash giveaway and was lucky enough to actually win, yaaaay!! The giveaway was held by Above The Curve and Model City and the winner simply had to guess a number between 1-1000. I chose 815 (Gabrielle's birthday) & got to pick a polish and cuticle oil from Model City as my awesome prize. 

Admittedly, I haven't heard of Model City before this giveaway but was instantly intrigued by the beautiful creations in her shop upon clicking the link in her Facebook bio. I mean, wow! Gorgeous holos and glitter polishes, what was there not to love? It was hard to pick one but I'm very happy with the pretty that I chose.

More Than Words is described as a berry holographic jelly blend with a splash red micro flakes. The description is dead on! I applied three coats of this beauty for this look. I liked this polish more and more with each coat. The berry color is super pretty and the scattered holo particles blinged it up perfectly, but the red flakes in it are what made me fall in love with this polish. Just look at them in the macro below!

Stunning, isn't it? One of the things I really loved about this manicure was that I didn't use my clean up brush once! The formula and brush are perfection as was the scent of the sugar cookie cuticle oil I received in this prize pack. This blend of Sweet Almond oil, Avocado oil, Vitamins A, C, D, & E, and fragrance oils, absorbed into my cuticles very fast and didn't leave a greasy feel. It really did smell like sugar cookies, too! 

If you are a fan of holo, jelly, and glasss fleck polishes like I am you will absolutely adore More Than Words! I love this color and really want to try more of the Model City polishes now. Model City nail polish retails for $8.50/15mL bottle. The cuticle oil is a steal at $4.50, too! Check out more Model City goodies by clicking here. As always, I hope you all enjoyed this post my dear Lacquer Luvers and I look forward to sharing my next post with you, xo!

Galaxies On Broadway With Daily Charme

Hello Lacquer Luvers! Today I have an out of this world post to share with you guys. I was generously sent a review package from the lovely ladies of Daily Charme. Each component of the package deserved it's own post so you can expect to see two more posts featuring this Californian indie brand in the very near future!

 

The first polish I get to show off from this brand is called Broadway. Broadway is an electric blurple jelly base that is full of holo glitters in a variety of shapes and sizes that range from hex to squares. There are tiny iridescent glitters in there as well. This polish is from Daily Charme's New York Collection and is by far one of the prettiest polishes in my entire collection!!

My manicure began with a base of Essie Grow Faster followed by 4 coats of Daily Charme Broadway. Application was pretty smooth however the formula of this polish dries matte so a nice shiny topcoat is needed to appreciate that jelly squishiness. The topcoat also helps the glitters pop. Again, I used 4 thin coats to achieve complete opacity.

 

The tiny iridescent glitter twinkled like little stars so without thinking twice about it I decided to do some galaxy nail art. I used a makeup sponge and Essie Marshmallow as the base for my galaxies then used the sponge and Zoya Wednesday, Sinful Colors Sugar N Spice, & Essie Bouncer It's Me. Once that dried I stamped on some stars from Cheeky stamping plate CH26. I added some additional sparkle with the help of Orly Prisma Gloss Silver and topped my mani off with a coat of HK Girl topcoat.

This polish is just so pretty! The blurple jelly base is beautiful and the glitters give it that extra wow factor. I wore this manicure for 4 days with minimal tipwear and no chips. You can purchase Broadway by heading over to Daily Charme's etsy shop when you click here. Trust me when I tell you that you will love the unique creations in their shop. As always, I hope you all enjoyed this post my dear Lacquer Luvers and I look forward to sharing my next post with you, xo!
