NOTD with Models Own Utopia and Disco Heaven

Hello loves,

Here I'm wearing Models Own polishes Utopia with Disco Heaven on top.

Disco Heaven over Utopia

Utopia is horrible, horrible, horrible to work with. You have to do a few very thin coats or you get this:

I hate to apply it four effin times until I got it right. Life is too short for bad nail polish...or is it my bad technique?! Haha. Thankfully all the other polishes I bought in the Models Own sale were great to apply.

That's all my sale purchases from Models Own swatched (at least on one finger!) now.

I think I'll try Juicy Jules, the holographic silver sparkle over Utopia next....if I have the patience for many thin coats of the latter.

Thanks for reading.

Recent nail of the day posts with Models Own

Hello earthlings!

I'm such a perfectionist I don't post 90% of the manis I do as my application isn't perfect. I've been painting my nails for too long to count and yet I still ruin half my manis within, oh, 90 seconds.

It seems like such a waste to do my nails and not post photos because I have jittery hands or have a teeny chip in one nail from that itchy nose I just HAD to scratch. (Why do I get itchy ears and nose every time I've got wet nails?!)

From now on I WILL post my less-than-perfect nails. At least you can see the colours, right? Right!

Here are a couple of Models Own nail posts from the items I bought in their recent sale. I want to show you all 11 polishes I bought over the next week or so, even if some colours are only shown on one finger. Technically it's 12 colours though, as one of the polishes is a double ended thing with a base coat and top coat.

L-R: Purple Pearl, Mystic Mauve, Hot Pink, Champagne, Jade Stone.

Models Own Artstix double ended polish in Jade Flakes & 4 normal polishes

I'm using the green shade Jade Stone from the Artstix double ended polish, which together is called 'Jade Flakes'. It's a bit confusing but the Artstix I have is made up of 2 shades - 'Jade Stone', the green - and 'Snowflakes' a glittery top coat to make an Artstix product called Jade Flakes. Hope that makes sense - my head hurts now! Both are also available as normal polishes separately.


More Mystic Mauve as I just love it. 

What have you got on your nails? What's your fave nail polish brand? Mine's a toss up between Models Own and OPI.

Models Own nail polishes are £5 each and the Artstix double ended polishes are £6.

Thanks for peeking.

OPI 'If You Moust You Moust' NOTD

Hello dolls!

Here's my latest mani using OPI If You Moust You Moust, a lovely pink shade, and a purple shatter from OPI.

I bought these from the Lena White website.

Keep your eyes peeled later for The Thursday Fap!

What's on your nails?

Lena White OPI polishes

Hello loves!

I was reading Katie's blog the other day where she was talking about bargain OPI polishes. Before you could say 'Enabler' I was jumping in with both feet to the site where the bargains were waiting to be had - Lena White, official UK OPI stockist, who - at the time of writing - have a sale on selected OPI polishes.

My polishes came so quickly! I got 5 full sized polishes for £22 including delivery. I used a discount code - luxe20 - which gave me 20% off on top of the sale prices.

Here are a couple of quick practice looks. This one has a bit of everything!

Below I used If you moust you moust (pink) and Gold Shatter. I used 2 coats of the pink and one of the gold but could've done with 3 of the pink really.

These were my first OPI purchases and I have only good things to say. The formula is great, the brushes are fantastic, there's no foul smell and drying time is good too.

The colours I picked up were:

If you moust you moust (pink.)
Gold shatter.
Into the night (navy.)
Super bass shatter (purple.)
Shatter the Scales (green purple shatter.)

Will you be taking advantage of this most bargainous bargain?
If you've got polish on now, what colour is it?

Thanks for reading!
OPI is cruelty free (although it's owned by distinctly un-cruelty free Coty.)
