Models Own velvet goth Amethyst

The Models Own Velvet Goth collection is a set of matte glitter polishes in what they call a 2D finish. Meaning matte and sparkly at the same time. Today I will be showing you Amethyst.

Amethyst has a bright purple base with fine and small glitter in purple, silver and magenta. First coat is patchy, but complete coverage with the second. Dries quite quickly to a matte finish. This is slightly bumpy to the touch, but not quite textured. No issues with it, really.

no top coat

with top coat

I actually liked this polish both with and without top coat. I'll have to say the only fault I can find is with the bottles lid. The velvet top kind of weirds me out a bit. Please note that I did not test for wear time or staining.
Hope you liked and I have one more polish to swatch from this collection. Hopefully soon.

Models Own neons

Today I have two colours from Models Own Ice Neon collection. These polishes have been designed to keep refrigerated to make the fluorescent colour last. I'll admit that I find this a bit gimmicky. Mine are stored with the rest of my polishes. Do you keep yours in the fridge?

Formula on both was great! Models Own can be hit or miss formula wise for me, so I was happy about that.  And of course, like most neons, you can layer over a white base to give more pop. I chose to use on their own to show the true colour.

BUBBLEGUM is a pink fluorescent neon. Photos are two coats with top coat. Great coverage. This is an in your face pink. No denying that this is a neon polish!

PUKKA is a bright purple. Not quite as fluorescent as Bubblegum, but still very bright. Again, two coats with top coat.

For more information on Models Own and where to buy, please visit their site here. These polishes are available from many online retailers. I purchased these from Nail Polish Canada.

Personally I loved these two. I'm a big fan of neons! Thanks for stopping by today.

Models Own scented pastels

I have two polishes from the Models Own Fruit Pastel collection. They are also scented. The entire collection is pretty, but not anything we haven't seen before, so I decided to just buy the two to try. As far as the scent goes, I still find them to have a bit of a chemical smell. It's not horrible, but I find I just don't care much for scented polishes. However the bottles have scratch and sniff stickers on the top that I love. Brings me back to my childhood sticker books!

First up is Grape Juice. Purple pastel. I needed three coats for full coverage. Leveled out nicely on its own. Photos are shown with no top coat.

Strawberry Tart is a light pink pastel. Again, three coats were used. However, even with three coats this was still a bit streaky and didn't self level much. Photos are shown with no top coat.

Overall I didn't find these to be anything special. Unless you love scented polish, of course. I purchased these from Nail Polish Canada, but they are available from many different vendors depending on where you live. Thank you all for stopping in today. Hope you enjoyed!
