New Models Own Collections

 If you guys haven't guessed yet, Models Own is my favourite nail brand. I'm in love with the formulation, the variety of colours, and hello, have you seen the bottles?! When I saw LLYMLRS had written some posts (here and here) telling us about the new Models Own collections, I jumped. The new collections are called 'Fireworks' and 'Velvet Goth'. I bought one of each collection to give them a whirl. These each retail at £5 like a standard Models Own polish, and I think they are definitely worth the money and aren't a splurge in my opinon.

The pink glitter polish (Roman Candle) is from the Fireworks collection. I love how the polishes are named after various different types of firework (others in the collection have names such as Sparkler and Rocket). This polish has a clear base with black, pink and silver strands suspended through it. I find that the polish can be very opaque over the nail and is a very dense polish. A cheaper dupe of this polish is Barry M's Pink Sapphire (retailing at £2.99). The greeny polish (Absinthe) is from the Velvet Goth collection. The lid of the bottle is cased in velvet in the corresponding colour of the polish. I personally like this touch but I can see other people not being so fond of the lid. When I first saw the name 'Velvet Goth', I thought the polishes were going to be texturised and fuzzy, but thankfully they're not. The polish is quite hard to explain, it's quite a thick consistency and could get away with one coat. It has small flecks of glitter through it and dries matte on the nail. My favourite of the two is probably Absinthe as I think that it is definitely a autumn/winter colour and a christmas staple.

The Fireworks collection is out September 4th in Boots, and the 25th in Superdrug. The Velvet Goth collection is out now.
