NOTD - Models Own Velvet Goth Obsidian

  

Oh Models Own, another collection that I couldn't wait to get my hands on, perfect for autumn/winter, Velvet Goth had to be mine!

First up - Obsidian. A sheer black base with tiny silver glitter flecks and silver hexagonal glitter. The black base dries matte on the nail with a slightly textured finish. 

I layered this over Gun Grey from Models Own to make it even darker, but it works quite well with only one coat like on my ring finger. Obsidian lasted about 3 days on my nails before it chipped. It was much easier to remove then most glitters.

I love the bottles, the caps are coated with velvet which is a lovely, opulent touch, a nod to the A/W Russian Opulence and they look awesome in my collection.

You can pick these up now from Boots and online for £5. A collection to cover the whole of winter.

What do you think, do you like the velvet collection? xx

Sunshine, on a cloudy day....

Evening all, so the weather has been a bit rubbish, and I've been in a bit of a nail funk for a couple of weeks, but after all the rain, I needed a bit of sunshine and this was it.

 Models Own Dusky Mauve. I've had this in my drawer for ages, but never really fancied it. I didn't want a really bright colour, but in the sun this really pops. Its a gorgeous purple pewter which looks silver in low light like poured metal, and then in the sun its a lovely lilac with a subtle shimmer, like the edge of a rain cloud as the sun is setting!


As with every Models Own this applied like a dream, looks flawless and has survived two days with no chips!

I don't know how it compares to Barry M's Dusky Mauve, but I really like it - what do you think, I'd love to hear your thoughts!
