The Great Pumpkin Massacre!!!

Every time I think of this polish's name, all I can think about is Charlie Brown...  But like, evil Charlie Brown.

Yeah, don't you wish your photo splicing skills were as L337 mine.  I'm dying over here...  Beyond ridiculous.  Ahhhhh, must focus!!!  Tonight's polish is anything but ridiculous - Model City Polish The Great Pumpkin Massacre.  TGPM will be available TOMORROW HERE at 12:00 pm cst.  SO BUY IT, guys.  Seriously.  It's fantastically amazing.  Want to see why?  Good:

Color: Clear base with orange and black hexes that are both metallic and holographic!


Finish: Glitter Top Coat – glitter in a clear base to be worn as a top coat.
Bottle / Brush: Round bottle – the brush and wand are the standard width and length.  Easy to control and manipulate.


Opacity: Glitter topcoat – not designed for full opacity.


Glitter Application: Easy – Spreads evenly without much manipulation.


Consistency: Medium – applies easily and doesn’t flood the cuticles.
Overall Ease of Application: Easy – applies well without pooling, dragging, streaking, or balding.  Spreads evenly and smoothly.  However, if you want a busier look, you'll need to use the dab method.  Otherwise, it'll be sparse, which is also really pretty.


Stampability: Not designed for stamping.
Dry Time: Quick – dry to the touch without smudging in under 3 minutes.


Overall Thoughts:  I have loved every single one of Nina's blends that I have tried.  She truly makes an amazing product, and I hope every single one of you will go and buy her stuff.  TGPM is from her fall trio that will be available tomorrow.  Like the rest, it is scented, but you can request unscented if you'd like.  This one smells like pumpkin bread!  I'm really digging her scents.  They aren't so overpowering and chemically that they make you want to rip your hands off (*cough cough color club winter affair cough cough*).  Instead, it's a delightful scent that you catch only when you have your hands near your nose.  Application for TGPM is great!  It can be worn sparse or dense depending on your mood and will be perfect for Halloween - my personal favorite holiday!  Here, I've worn it over Liquid Lacquer's Stick a Fork in Me, a nude holo with orange flash, and China Glaze Riveting, an orange shimmer.  I think I like it better over the nude, but I bet it would look even better over white, which is how I plan to wear it at Halloween!

And now, let's take a look at the freebie!  If you purchase the entire fall trio, you will receive a 5ml cuticle oil!  You can choose between candy corn scented or unscented.  


I love this oil!  In the top photo, you see my poor hands and nails after removing my soak off gels.  Completely ravaged by my acetone (no, I will not stop using it), hey look so dehydrated and sad.  Then, in the middle picture, you can see where I applied the oil oh so sparingly, hah!  Yes, I drenched my hands in oil.  I'm not ashamed...  In the final pic, I took a pic of my phone stop watch to show you exactly how long the oil takes to be absorbed into your skin.  10 mintues is about average for my crazy dry skin.  The oil leaves my cuticles feeling soft and happy while having a killer scent that makes me want to nom my fingers!  (You may need to click on the photo to enlarge it.)



You can purchase Model City Polishes at Nina's Etsy store.  Follow Nina and Model City on Facebook and Instagram for news and updates on her collections.  Don't forget, the restock is tomorrow at 12 pm cst, and if you order the trio, you get the cuticle oil for free!
