Model City Polish Pour Me Another

Pour Me Another by indie polish maker Model City Polish was created especially for release at this year's Cosmoprof beauty trade show event in Las Vegas. It is a medium-dark nicely saturated berry red/magenta linear holographic polish. It has a jelly/crelly pinkish red base with beautiful rich color bearing fine holo pigments that produce a linear prismatic display in almost any lighting situation. Violet is the predominant color in the flair, with strong traces of orange and red in the bend. In dim and incandescent lighting, the polish deepens to intense pinkish burgundy with a golden flash.

Application was lovely. The consistency is fluid and light with an ideal viscosity for painting, nice even flow over the nail and excellent self-leveling properties. Pigmentation is very good. I achieved completely opaque coverage and full rich color in two coats. Cleanup is easy and straightforward with no trace of staining left behind. Pour Me Another dries naturally in very good time to a glossy finish. Sweet! Topcoat does not impede the holographic display in any way.

Photos show two coats of Pour Me Another over Seche Rebuild treatment and Pretty Serious All Your Base basecoat with a topcoat of Glisten and Glow HK Girl. We have heavily overcast skies here today so I wasn't able to take any direct sun photos, but the holographic flair shows up strongly even in indirect light.

I'm quite pleased with this dark magenta holo! The color is full, vivid and flattering year round, and it has a lovely user-friendly formula that makes application a pleasure. The prismatic display is athletic and lively in indirect light, which is my favorite characteristic of holo behavior generally. I love the prevalence of the violet in the prismatic flair, it ties in nicely with the base color and pops the orange and red that appear next to it. I'm sure Pour Me Another will be super rainbowy in direct sun, but I'll have to wait for another day to see it.

love,
