50% Models Own Sale Haul

Well i guess you know what this means, my spending in ban isn't going so well as i anticipated it would any who I'll update you on my little progress shortly in the mean time enjoy my picks from the models own 50% sale!

I did take advantage of this late last year so i just couldn't resist with my buying habits, i really need to stop but does anyone else see a sale or even like the name of a polish so you just buy it? 

Hopefully I'm not the only one who needs to hold their head in shame and attend shopaholics rehab!

 So i added to my basket some 'essentials' & i think i spend my £25 wisely sort of. 

 

First up is the Southern Lights Polish tis a be-a-u-ti full glittery lilac-grey holographic shade,- painting them with this as i type,

Then i wasn't sure about the hyper gel polishes as its a bit samey to whats already out there but curiosity bit me on the butt, thank god it did as the Red Lustre shade is the most true red Ive got in my collection its opaque within 1-2 coats, with the finish looking amazing, as for the Pink Veneer Ive still not made up my mind about that one I'm sure you'll find out what i think once its been tried. 

My Matte Top Coat & Express Dry are my 'essentials' purchases as well as the brushes, they were something i wish I'd of picked up before in the previous sale so of course these has to be the first in my bag, no thoughts on these just yet as i haven't used them. 

I do have high hopes though!

There we have it a spending ban fail but i have to say a damn good saving was made.

Top 4 Summer Brights Polishes

Nails for me certainly pull an outfit together and add that much needed finishing touch so if my nails aren't painted i just don't feel completely done (i know I'm strange but that's just me for ya.)

So with that in mind I'd thought I'd share with you some of the more brighter colours I've been gravitating towards these summer months to prettify my nails and toes.

 

Barry M Shocking Pink

 

Essie Fear & Desire

 

Models Own Toxic Apple Neon

 

Models Own Purple Passion

So there you have it these are a few of my summer bright polishes that i will probably continue to wear thoughout the Autumn/Winter months because if your anything like me i defiantly find it hard to stick to nail polish trends purely because i have so many nail paints to use up but also once a colour catches my eye i will wear it regardless of the in trends/weather.

I hope I'm not the only one to do this!

All the above nail paints range from £5 - £1.99 so very much bargain buys especially considering the quality of each one is fantastic and they all dry super quick as well as you only needing two coats for complete opaque'ness + don't forget you can still pick up Essie polishes for £1.99 from fragrance direct!

Whats your go to colour and brand that you would recommend?

Models Own Toxic Apple Review

So a few weeks ago Models Own brought out the oh so amazing Fruit Pastel and Ice Neon collections, upon browsing as well as lusting over them both I realised I actually own one of the polishes from the neon nail collection in the colour Toxic Apple.

I'm not overly sure but by reading the description online the neon's are packaged in frosted bottles..

'The only way to keep fluoro really bright is to KEEP IT COLD! We've packed this collection in specially-designed frosted bottles that you should keep refrigerated to protect the intense fluoro colour from fading. These on-trend neon shades bring summer alive with fluoro flavour, bold and bright'

Which the one I have isn't but nevertheless it's still green and neon so guess there's not so much difference after all.

The colour is pretty intense traffic stopping in fact, (ok not so much but eye catching at the very least)

and it's a great addition to your collections right now what with the neon trends making there presence known once again, but there's something I have to say I'm not the biggest fan of the formula I just find them that little bit too runny/too watery side for my liking, I even find the brush to long to be able to control the amount you actually put on your nail and for this particular polish a base-coat is ESSENTIAL, otherwise it'll look like you've been doing a spot of gardening.

So although the Models Own paints aren't my first choice of polish there bearable and I guess reasonably priced at £5.

What are your thoughts on the Models Own Polishes?
