Models Own Peacock Green

School started again this week so I've been a bit busier than usual. The first week of classes is always so exciting. So far I've been enjoying all of my classes so let's hope that it continues that way!

Today I'm wearing Models Own Peacock Green. This has been sitting in my helmer for several months now and I kept passing over it. Since I've been trying to work though my untrieds lately, I decided it was time to finally give Peacock Green a chance.
It's a beautiful jewel-toned emerald green. It looks like it has a slight duochrome to it as well. In some lighting it looks like a subtle blue shift at the edges of my nails.
The formula was nice, which I've come to expect from Models Own. I haven't tried a bad polish from them yet. This is 2 coats.

Shimmer Polish Spam!

About a week ago I purchased three polishes from Shimmer Polish: Stephanie, Caroline, and Gerry.

I liked that these mainly consisted of smaller glitters. A lot of indies seem to mostly be creating polishes with larger and multi-shaped glitters and while I love those, it's always nice to see someone doing something a bit different.
The packaging is really cute! They all have a heart on the label that corresponds to the color of the polish.
All three of the ones I own (and I believe her other polishes are this way as well) are glitters in a clear base so you could layer them over any polish.

These are very dense, I think they could be opaque in 2-3 coats but I decided to layer them over a base color because I prefer that look. They're all shown with 1 coat over a base color.

I really liked this one! The primary glitter color is blue.

Application was wonderful. Zoya knows how to make a great creme polish, that's for sure. 2 coats.

Shimmer Polish Caroline over Model's Own Magenta Pearl.

My camera had a hard time taking pictures of this one. I think it was the base color that was causing problems with my camera. 

The primary glitter color is a dark magenta.

Absolutely gorgeous! This polish really glows once it's on your nails. 2 coats.

Shimmer Polish Gerry over Illamasqua Jo'Mina.

This one was my favorite out of the three that I ordered! The primary glitter color is purple but there also seems to be a fair amount of blue glitters in there as well.

Every time I wear this polish I'm always amazed at how amazing the formula is. It practically applies itself and the color is one of my favorite shades of purple. 2 coats.

The creator of Shimmer Polish is also starting to create custom polishes! I'm already planning my next order!
