Models Own Hed Kandi Sunset Chillout swatch

There's a party on my nails, and everyone's invited!!!!

O.M.Flipping.G - this is, to paraphrase the Fresh Prince, DA BOMB!




BTW, if you're thinking, "gosh, Emma's never done a close up shot of a glitter polish before", that's because I haven't. I ONLY JUST realised my camera could do this. So yes, I am a total muppet:) Anyhoo, look at the baby; large blue hexes, orange, green and gold medium hexes, small purple squares, small pink, blue and green hexes, holographic bars............my god, it's stunning.






















Because there are soooooooo many different glitters in here, it was tricky to match it, the best results I found were over In The Navy, another Models Own classic. Honestly, I love this glitter so much it's smashed it's way into my top 10! Happyness is glittery nails:)


Ps - this is a scheduled post, I'm on my hols, so please don't be offended if I don't reply to comments:) x

Models Own Bora Bora swatch

Hi guys, this is a scheduled post whilst I'm on my holidays, hope you enjoy:)

Ahhhhhh, this polish is summer partying squished into a bottle:) It's from the Hed Kandi range by Models Own, which I've loved, as they're such stunning and 'out there' shades and glitters. Bora Bora is no exception, it's jaw-droppingly lush:)


Now, I loved this polish......but my bf? Well, he described it as 'glittery snot', not because it looked like that but because he watched me applying it, and it is pretty.....glooopy. Or snot like. LOL. Whatever, I love this polish, it's a super fine gold glitter, and builds up quickly - this is 3 coats. It's an odd one; you could party with this or wear it as a low key day time shade - insane that it's both.

Makes me want to walk along barefoot in the hot sand of a tropical island, cocktail with umbrella in one hand:) Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Haul! Whoop whoop!

Oooooooh I was naughty yesterday; whilst buying up what felt like EVERYTHING in the Bullring ready for my trip on Saturday, I *accidently* found a few polishes:)



Boots were spoiling me with their amazing 3 for 2 offer, so I HAD to buy some Models Own babies. I've been looking for Pink Punch (below, middle) to complete my neon ice collection, so had to get that, and then I saw Sunset Chillout (right) and Bora Bora (left) - swatches soon:) 


Honestly, Bora Bora makes me think of a gorgeous sandy beach after a few cocktails lol:)

Then, whilst trying to resist t-shirts with pugs on in H&M (quite difficult given my pug love, but deemed non-essential for mountain climbing) I found these bad boys. 
























The stunning purple is called From Warsaw with Love, the glitter-bomb baby is called Did I Tell You? I love how H&M use such cute names, and I have to say it took all my will power to only buy these two, they're really upping the polish standards:) 

Swatches soon peeps, am applying between typing lol:)
