Models Own HyperGel Turquiose Gloss Review.

I love Models Own anyway so this isn't a hard review for me to do, it's my first review so I suppose I had to make it an easy one, right?
This colour is so pretty and it's made me want to buy more of the HyperGel polishes now, it looks so shiny, lovely colour and great to apply. A lot of the Models Own polishes had the big chunky brush to apply it but this one has one of the thinner brushes so it's easier to apply onto the little finger without any going on to your hand. I love it & I've had a lot of compliments on it, which is always nice :) 

Because it's such a lovely Spring colour, I thought I'd do a little design on it too. Plus I get bored, so this took up an hour or so. Using the Barry M - White, nail dotting tools and some nail tape. I came up with this little design just to complete the look.

Boots Nail Polish Haul.

With the great 3 for 2 offer on at Boots I couldn't resist not going out and buying myself a few new polishes when I got paid. I was there for a while not knowing which ones to buy but I finally made a decision on three new Models Own colours and one Gelly Barry M. The one's I brought were from left to right, Models Own Ice Neon Pink Punch, Barry M Gelly Blue Grape, Models Own Ice Neon Pukka Purple and Models Own HyperGel Turquoise Gloss. 

I think all of them are so great and bright. I will be doing individual reviews on them all so stay tuned...

Orange and Blue Nails...

Using - Essie -Orange, It's Obvious,  No7 -Sing The Blues, Models Own Nail Art Pen

I painted all my nails orange, waited until dry then sectioned diagonally off with tape. I added the blue polish and removed the tape whilst nails were still wet for a clean line. Using the Models Own black art pen I draw on the lines and finished with a top coat.

Pretty Mermaid Nails...

Using - Color Club clear, Models Own - Indian Ocean and Essie - Bikini so teeny.

I first did a base coat of the Color Club clear polish. Once dry I put on two coats of the Essie colour and waited until dry. I then used a sponge to apply the models own polish to my nail but not touching the base of my nail. Once dry i again used the sponge to apply the models own polish to the tips of my nails. I then finished with a top coat. 

What A Little Pickle

Nail Polish Spring 2014 Wishlist.

All the new Spring nail polishes are out or soon to be coming out and they all look so good! Some of these polishes I want are old but most of them are new and are ready to be mine. I've been trying to save more money then usual (my usual savings consists of nothing so I'm doing pretty well) to spend on new nail products and to get some of the ones I have wanted for a while but haven't got round to buying. (due to my bad saving habits)

Some of the few products I'm craving for at the moment are; 

The Essie Spring 2014 Collection - All of them look so nice and pretty. Really want to get my hands on all of them, I think the colours Essie come up with are so great and I love their individual names. Depending on where you go, you can buy these polishes for around £8 each. 

Especially loving the Hide & Go Chic, Fashion Playground and Style Hunter.

Barry M Silk Collection - Now obviously this little lot would be on this list. They are so different, I haven't seen a product like this before and I'd love to try them out for myself. These polishes are around £4.

Firsts on my list would be the Blossom, Meadow and Pearl. 

China Glaze Off Shore Collection - Now I'm not sure if these are already out, but I know they are available to pre-order off Nail Polish Direct. There are the two different collections to buy or you can purchase the nail polishes separately of course. The two collections are Stoaked To Be Soaked and my favourite out the two Dune Our Thing. The collections are £29.99 each or the individual polishes are around the £5 mark - If you can find them cheap. 

My individual favourites are Wait N Sea, Shore Enuff, Dune Our Thing and If In Doubt, Surf It Out. 

Models Own HyperGel - Again another new set of polishes you thought you'd find on this list, right? These look great on swatches I have seen on other blogs and I want to get my hands on them and try them out for myself. Now I wouldn't get all of them because I think some of the shades look a little samey as other products but I would get a few. These come in at £5 each. 

The ones I would go out and buy are White Light, Coral Glaze, Lilac Sheen, Cornflower Gleam and Red Lustre. 

Models Own Artstix Nail Polish Duo - I have only recently found out about these and I love the idea, they look so simple to use and would be great little things to take away with you on trips or on holiday. There are twelve different duo's so there's quite a selection to choose from. 

My favourite duo's that I love are Blue Spray, Blibble, Jade Flakes, Snow Mix and Utopia Ocean. 

Models Own Ice Neon Collection - Now I have loved these for a while and I own none of them! So now is the time for them to become mine. £5 each. 

Favourites - Pukka Purple and Pink Punch. 

Would you recommend any other new nail products I've missed? 

What A Little Pickle

Red and white nails.

Using - Collection 2000 - Scandal, Barry M - White, Models Own nail art pen.

Firstly I painted my thumb, middle and ring finger white and the other two nails red, giving all nails two coats. When dry I sectioned off the top and bottom of the nail with tape. I painted the tip of the nail with the opposite colour. When dry, I used the Models Own black art pen to line the change of the colours and to the index finger I added a very straight bow. I then finished this look with a the Color Club top coat. 

A little messy due to the fact the polish wasn't completely dry before putting the tape on, but I'm still learning. :) 

Blue and Pink...

Using - Barry M - Cobalt blue, Model's own black nail art pen, Barry M - Limited Edition Pink.

First I started off painting two nails blue and three nails pink. The middle finger I sectioned off with tape so I could paint the other half of the nail with the blue. I used the Models Own black nail art pen to draw a line and to dot the middle finger. I finished with a top coat.

Blue Tartan Nails

Nail Polishes used - Wetnwild - White. Collection 2000 - Electric Dreams. Barry M - Black. 

Models Own Nail Art Pen. Nail Art Brush.

• Start with a base coat and leave to dry.
• Paint all nails, except the index finger a colour of your choice. 
• Paint index finger nail black.

Paint a white line down the middle of the ring finger and leave to dry.

Using a black nail art pen or brush, start to draw lines in a horizontal and vertical way to develop a tartan pattern and leave to dry.

Finish with a top coat.

Winnie the Pooh inspired nails.

When I was only a young'un Winnie the Pooh was my favourite thing in the whole wide world. He made me a very happy little person so I thought I would pay a tribute to my idol and do some Winnie the Pooh inspired nails...

• Starting with covering the nails in a base coat and leaving them to dry.
• Paint little finger a pale pink. Ring finger - a purpley blue. Middle finger - yellow. Index finger - a nude or very pale brown. Thumb - a sky blue. Leave to dry.

Nail polishes used - Color Club - 39. Collection 2000 - BMX Bandit.

 W7 - First class. Barry M - Nude. Color Club - 51.

• Once nails are dry and had second coat if needed. Start off by using either a darker pink or a light purple to add stripes to the little finger nail to look like Piglet's stomach. 
• On the ring finger, I firstly used a very pale pink to draw on a bow. Then outlined it with a black nail art pen to show off Eeyore's lovely tail.  
• Using tape, I sectioned off the top and bottom of the nail to leave the middle exposed on my middle finger. I painted the middle red and removed the tape slowly and carefully whilst the polish was still wet. Now we have Winnie the Pooh's belly.
• I then used an orange on my index finger, just on the two sides of the nail. Once dry I used a black nail art pen to draw some little stripes. To look like Tigger's belly.
• Using the black nail art pen again, drawing on a little bumble bee & some flying lines. Then leave all to dry for a good amount of time.
• Lastly finish with a top coat and leave to dry.

Polishes used for the second part. Models Own - Dinky Pinky. Color Club - 42. Barry M - Bright Red. Essie - Orange, It's Obvious. 

Models Own Black Nail Art pen was used for all black parts.

Not the greatest attempt at nail art, but for my first go. Not too shabby. Except for my stripey bumblebee who's stripes molded together for him to become a fly. 

Let me know what you think :)

Jewelry.

Merry Boxing Day! :)
