So, that's the official bit, let's take a closer gander, shall we ?
In the bottle and on the nail, these polishes are absolutely stunning. For a "major" brand, this is the most adventurous glitter I've seen, with both colour and shape combinations. Some of the bottles are a little more glitter-loaded than the others, so you'll probably need to swipe AND dab to get good coverage.
There are shards and diamonds, and they are just beautiful. To the eye. Not to the nose. These polishes STINK. Models Own polishes always have a stronger smell because they are not 3-free, but this is KleanColor bad. Now, I do have a very sensitive nose, but enough other people have said it to make me want to warn you. If you don't mind the smell of gloss paint or wood varnish, you'll be fine. For me, with my "super hooter", I'm desperately trying to persuade myself I can keep them, despite getting a headache when I was swatching them.
Let's take a close up one by one -
Disco Inferno. This is a STUNNER. I thought I would "like" this one, but didn't expect to love it so much.
Dancing Queen - we all know I'm not a greeny, but I had high hopes for this, but this did end up being my least favourite of the 5.
Hot Stuff. Hot damn, this is good! Sensational.
Freak Out! I was a little underwhelmed with this one - I think I need to try it over a darker blue.
Boogie Nights. Yes it's purple, and yes I loved it the most. Stunning.
Stay tuned for the next week and a half to see swatches of all of these in action. They spotted the Barry M Gellies in the corner of the nail room and initiated their own playtime!!
Enjoy xx :)
All of these products were purchased by me and were not sent by Models Own.
