Models Own Summersale



Hiya lovelies, hope you're all good! I've gained more than 40 followers already which is amazing, big hug to all of you :)


I've been feeling so poorly over the last week I just couldn't be bothered to do anything really. Seems like everyone's struggling with the flu or a cold recently, so if you do, too get better soon lovely :)
Also it got really cold over the past week and it started snowing in some parts of the country, which has me all excited because I'm kind of getting in a festive mood oooh! Are you already out and about buying christmas prezzies or is it last minute shopping for you? 

Anyway, before I'm going to spend my money on cute reindeer jumpers and fleecy onesies and tons of chocolate I decided to treat myself [yes, again!] in the Models Own summer sale they had last month. It took them ages to ship my order and I know I'm really late with showing which shades I got but it only arrived on friday I'm afraid. I'm definitely happy with the shades I got, unfortunately the Mirrorball collection has already been sold out when I ordered as was Indian Ocean from their Beetlejuice collection but I might just pick them up when I'm in Westfield next month. Just wish I had ordered more now but that's just me being addicted to nail varnish.

Without boring you lovely lot any further, let's have a look at my order.

Yes, I like to pretend I'm a top photographer by snapping from an angle.

Pink Fizz is such a lovely shade, almost opaque with only one layer and I love the champagne undertones. Speaking of which, Lili's Pink is from their Champagne collection and it has a micro-glittery almost matte effect and it's been a dream to apply. I think especially the Beetlejuice collection can give you a hard time with application, their unbelievably sheer in one coat but build up their colours quickly to be fair. I just wish they'd hurried up though because I don't think Balearic Cool is suitable for autumn/winter, Purple Blue and Thunder&Lightening however are a nice addition to my autumnal polish collection :)


Tropical Sun is a peachy-orangey kind of shade, the colour shift is not too obvious here and it contains only a bit of glitter, which i didn't even notice on any swatch I've seen before. The pictures don't do justice to the sparkly shades, especially the multi coloured glitter in Thunder&Lightening is so much prettier in real life. I could sit and stare at these all day long, I'm wearing Purple Blue on my nails right now and find myself pointing my fingers out towards the windows oohing and aahing over the pretty shifting colour ha! 

Did you take advantage of their sale? Which shades did you get? Feel free to leave the links to your haul posts in the comments, love a good nosey!

    If I'd have spotted 'Lili's Pink' when I put my order in then I definitely would have got it - that swatch looks beauuuutiful! I'm surprised I've never seen it before, I love it :) xx

  4. oh no! Hope your cold's on the way out, they're so darn annoying (and I can feel I've got one coming on too, definitely not cool). Tropical Sun and Purple Blue are my favourites, I think - I love the two tone aspect x
