Models Own Haul

Hiya!

I'm extremely sorry for the lack of posts as Z caught the flu and so did I. It's been the hardest week for us both but we're getting there.

Models own had a sale recently with everything 50% off! I went absolutely crazy and had to cut out a fair amount of polishes from my basket so I ended up with just 10 bottles.
I loved every bit of the packaging especially the cardboard sleeve that goes outside the box; its very vibrant and the colours used make me want to party! The tissue paper inside was fun with little doodles and writing.
I made a purchase of 6 HyperGel polishes and 4 Colour Chrome Polishes.

Colour Chrome (L-R) - Pearl NP262 , Blue NP242, Gold NP238, Rose NP236
Twilight HyperGel (L-R) Jet Black SG036, Everyday Grey SG035, Heather SG042, Cashmere Rose SG037, Loganberry SG038, Teal SG046

I love the Colour Chrome polishes as it was something different. These polishes are prefect for stamping but I had thrown all of my stamping set out a couple of years ago because I just couldn't find a good polish to use with it but after I had recieved these polishes I went back onto ebay and bought stamping plates and sets.
I found that the polishes did leave streaks but the colour is so gorgeous and very pigmented! 

I have purchased a few HyperGel's before but I think they've changed the formula as its so much easier to apply and it's not as thick. I absolutely love how smooth it goes on and how quick it dries. My favourite shade right now is Loganberry. Its not to red nor purple and it gives my hand a pop of colour which suits this season. I had trouble with the formula of the Cashmere Rose as it was very thick and so it was hard to paint onto my nail and the Teal polish wouldn't come off my skin until I scrubbed it but the colour is so amazing. I just love it!
Overall I am extremely happy with my purchases and I cannot wait to get more!

Models Own Diamond Luxe

Hi!

I'm so sorry for the late post but Z got ill and he becomes very clingy! I can't even go to the toilet without him screaming mummy! lol 

anyways..

I recently bought the Models Own Diamond Luxe Set from House of Fraser on offer and I cannot explain how excited I was to try them out!
 Shades of the Diamond Luxe (L-R): Pear Purple NP221, Trillion Taupe NP224, Asscher Blue NP225, Heart Red NP218

As Valentines was just around the corner I thought I'd try out a simple nail design using just Models Own polishes so I used the Diamond Luxe Heart Red NP218 & Pastel Pink NP033.
Valentines Nails 2016
The Diamond Luxe Heart Red was easy to apply and I only needed one coat! The brush was wide so all I needed was 1-2 brush strokes on my nails. I love the sparkle from the polish and the colour! I'm not a big fan of painting my nails on colour so I painted a pink heart and small dots using the Pastel Pink NP033. 

What do you plan for Valentines Day this year?
