Models Own Silver Fox & Some Glittery Layering

Well everyone I am really getting into the party season and was craving some glitter.

I chose Models Own Silver Fox.

First I did 1 coat of Essie Loophole and then layered 1 coat of Silver Fox. I LOVE this sooo much. It was subtle enough to wear for work but pretty enough for people to notice. The only down side is that it took 3 coats of Orly Sec 'n' Dry topcoat and it still was a tiny bit bumpy. Sec 'n' Dry is the thinnest topcoat I have ever used though. Does anyone else have a similar opinion?

So I got home and went absolutely crazy with my other Models Own Glitters and Color Club's Magic Attraction.


Thumb - Silver Fox & Magic Attraction, Index - Silver Fox & Magenta Divine & Emerald City & Gold Finger, Middle - Silver Fox & Magenta Divine, Ring - Silver Fox & Magenta Divine & Gold Finger, Little - Silver Fox & Gold Finger.

All of the above are topped with 1 coat of Magic Attraction to give it extra sparkly holoness :)

I think these could give some of the OPI Burlesque glitters a run for their money!

Now I've got to try and get these off. Does anyone have a chisel?!

Models Own - Purple Haze. PURPLE + GLITTER!!!

Good morning!

I have an amazing treat for you today...

Well what a little stunner this girl is! Purple Haze is a bright/dark purple glitter with a clear base. The camera (again) couldn't pick up the correct colour for this. Imagine it as a pink toned purple rather than blue - very pretty. This is 2 think coats. You really can't help but to apply thick coats as it is a thick polish. I was a bit disappointed in the finish in this as it dried very matte, bumpy and not sparkly or shiney at all. I needed 1 coat of Essie G2G and 2 coats of Caviar top coats! It's still not perfectly smooth, but good enough for me. This is my first Models Own I have tried and will definately try out some others, maybe a creme or shimmer? Any recommendations?

I'm not looking forward to the removal of this, but I'm planning on doing the tin foil trick - probably while the boy is surfing while in Devon. I'm going to take Off With Her Red with me to paint my nails mid-week. I'm hoping this won't chip and will last me until then!

I hope you all have a nice week.

See you soon!

17 Toasted Almond and Some Stash Pics

Hello everyone! Today I have a 17 colour for you - Toasted Almond.

This is 3 coats of Toasted Almond. It is a frosty champagney beige. Again another colour I don't like :( what's going on???!!! I keep picking bad 'uns lately. I would love it if someone could suggest a colour I will love because I am a very unmotivated girl at the moment.

This cheered me up though!

l-r Silver Fox, Pink Fizz, Magenta Divine, Purple Haze, Emerald City, Gold Finger.
I got these for under a tenner including p&p on ebay the other day. I wish I could wear these now but I have 2 more days of work left :(

Also some pictures of my stash...I was reorganising.


Meet the big cat - Smokey. He's quite an independant boy and doesn't like it when Milly goes for his big bushy tail!
