models own mirrorball collection

(Hot Stuff | Boogie Nights | Freak Out! | Dancing Queen | Disco Inferno)

When Models Own announced this collection a couple of months ago I instantly fell in love & knew I needed to get my hands on it! I'm obsessed with having my nails painted, especially a quick swipe of glitter over a neutral polish to add a little sparkle! The collection consists of five polishes, but rather than a fine glitter they're filled with chunky holographic pieces in circle, square & triangle shapes, creating a disco ball effect. I picked up the whole collection, plus Snow White & Beach Party for only £20 at the Bottleshop in Westfield. Models Own often have really good promotions on in their store, so it's worth a look!

Please excuse the skin around my nails, it's an awful habit of mine to pick the skin when I'm anxious/nervous ):

I honestly can't decide which is my favourite, I'm looking forward to trying these out over colours, e.g Hot Stuff over a baby pink shade! My friend Abi created this look when she stayed at mine in London which looks awesome, I'm also going to try these colours out over black and see how that works. There are so many options with these glitters, I expect to be wearing at least one of them at all times!

One downside to this polish is the drying time. If you're only applying one coat then there are no problems, but I noticed that it took so much longer than any other Models Own polish I've used to dry! A little bit frustrating as I'm used to layering up glitters as I know they dry pretty quick, but I think it's because the clear polish is slightly thicker than any others. Abi & I found this out the hard way when we kept smudging our sparkly nails all over my bedsheets & I also managed to get a clump in my hair... glam life! (:

Which is your favourite polish from the mirrorball collection?

NOTD #1 - models own & technic

A quick nails of the day post! This is my favourite combination of nail polishes ever, I'd say its my most worn look. It's so easy to create and goes with every outfit!

The models own polish is in the shade utopia, which I've used over half the bottle of - this never happens! I absolutely love the colour, its the perfect neutral colour but has a lilac, pink tone to it, I'm awful at describing colours! I think models own polishes apply really nicely, they can be a little thick sometimes and it lasts around 3 days without chipping or a topcoat, with a topcoat it can last over a week for me!

The glitter polish is by technic, which I picked up in bodycare for 99p! Its called carnival and is a perfect dupe for the OPI rainbow connection. I could go on about how much I love this glitter, but I won't! The only downside I found is that it can be a pain to get off, but that is a known fact about glitter polish, I havn't found any easy way to remove them yet, I tend to find myself picking most of it off, oops. Has anyone got any glitter polish removal tips and tricks? Please let me know!
