Models Own Mirrorball Collection Swatches

Hey everyone

If you've seen my wishlist post from Monday, you will know that I had my eye on the Models Own Mirrorball nail polish collection. I was just browsing through the Models Own website on Tuesday and couldn't stop myself from ordering these!

 

 

L-R freak out, hot stuff, boogie nights, disco inferno, dancing queen

 

 

 

Freak Out

 

 

Freak Out is described by Models Own as "a crystal shimmer mix of blue and purple". It contains aqua blue glitter shards, dark blue glitter circles and purple micro glitter.

 

 

 

Hot Stuff

 

 

Hot Stuff is described by Models Own as "an intoxicating mix of pink and gold sparkles". It contains holographic glitter shards, gold glitter squares, pink glitter shards and magenta micro glitter.

 

 

 

Boogie Nights

 

 

Boogie Nights is described by Models Own as "a multicoloured mix of intriguing purple, pink and blue". It contains lilac glitter shards, dark blue glitter circles, purple glitter circles and purple micro glitter.

 

 

 

Disco Inferno

 

 

Disco Inferno is desribed by Models Own as "a glittery gold disco bomb". It contains gold glitter shards, copper coloured glitter circles, gold micro glitter and green glitter.

 

 

 

Dancing Queen

 

 

Dancing Queen is described by Models Own as "fabulous flecks of emerald, blue and gold". It contains blue glitter shards, gold micro glitter, gold glitter circles, blue glitter circles and green glitter circles.

 

 

They are all 'chunky glitters' which in effect means that instead of applying them like a normal nail polish, you have to sort of dab them on otherwise the glitter just won't stay on your nail.

As you can see, they are not the most dense of glitters, and they would probably look better over a solid base colour, but I think they're pretty cool. The combination of colours in each polish is unique and interesting. I really like how there are lots of different sizes of glitter rather than just a multicoloured glitter, as I think it makes the polish even more interesting. I can't comment on wear time/drying time because I only swatched them, but I am looking forward to experimenting with different base colours! :)

 

These are available now for £5 each, or you can get a box set with all 5 polishes plus a base coat for £20 on the Models Own Website and in the Bottleshop in Westfield Stratford. They will be available from Boots on the 3rd October :)
