99 Followers Give-Away :-) UK only

I was going to do a giveaway at 100, but I got there and one person disappeared haha, so I thought why not celebrate 99 followers instead, 99 is just as good :-)I would have loved to have done this for international followers as well but sending polish through the post is a no-no at the moment. I may do a give-away with just nail art/glitters stuff like that in future Thanks everyone for supporting the blog and good luck :-)

Models Own Wonderland Collection Part 2 (with a real camera)

So I managed to borrow a camera :) Here's a few pictures of Jack Frost over Color Club Revvvolution (as I've run out out of plain black :-S) with a foil accent nail.

Models Own Wonderland Collection

First off, sorry for the absence, I'm a bad blogger, lol. I have no camera and I've started a nail technician course so I'm not actually painting my nails all that much, I generally have someone else on the course do them for me so its not all bad. Models Own have a brand new collection called "Wonderland" that are all super glitzy, they are on sale on the website from Oct 12th but available in Boots stores and their flagship store in London as of now. I only picked up 3 of the 5 as I have something similar to the other 2 already, aren't I good?

I picked up Jack Frost, a blue/pink shifting glitter, Snowflake, iridescent shards and Southern Lights which is a light purple holographic glitter. Please excuse the terrible grid photo, instagram style. I really need to sort out a camera ASAP.

My favourite is Jack Frost, its easy to apply and dries quickly. It looks really nice over dark colours but looks completely different over light ones, so might look interesting over a gradient mani.
Snowflake looks great in the bottle but just appeared golden on the red and green I used, so very Christmas appropriate, it was a little difficult to apply like most "shard" polishes.
Last but not least was Southern Lights, super pretty but the purple was a little too subtle to me, maybe I need to layer it over a dark purple to show it off better, it did dry nice and quickly as well.
I am really glad I picked up all 3 though as I'm sure I'll use them lots over the next few months.

Models Own Hed Kandi: Ibiza Mix

I saw the range of Models Own Hed Kandi polishes in my local boots last week and was annoyed to see that the only one I wanted was sold out already but I kept popping back in to see if they got any more. Luckily today I noticed they had one, tucked behind a different colour, yay :)

Its basically a glitter topcoat, with 2 different sizes of glitter and many different colours.

This was 2 layers over black, all the colours really stand out like this but I wanted to try it with some softer shades. So I tried 2 coats over pink.

And then one coat over blue.

Which I then mattified and kept on

The polish went on really easily and I didn't feel the need to place any of the hex glitter individually. It also came off really easily as well, which is always a bonus with glitter but I think it was mainly due to it being layered. I purchased this in the shop but It is available online from Boots for £5.
