Models Own Mirrorball Collection Swatches

Hi loves! So sorry for the lack of posts, school has been very hectic lately and it's only going to get harder come end of October. Waa! Anyways, today I have the Models Own Mirrorball Collection to show you. These are my very first Models Own polishes. I haven't bought any before because it is a UK brand and shipping here to the US is more than I'm willing to spend. I ordered mine from Ninja Polish to avoid the shipping fees. This collection consists of 5 polishes that contain glitters of different size, shape, and color in a clear base. All are swatched over a black creme and are shown with topcoat. Are you ready for this glittery goodness?!

L to R: Disco Inferno, Hot Stuff, Boogie Nights, Dancing Queen, Freak Out

Disco Inferno over a black creme

Hot Stuff over a black creme

Boogie Nights over a black creme
Dancing Queen over a black creme

Freak Out over a black creme


Formula on these were good. I did end up doing some of the whole blob some polish on and smear it around with the brush, but that's no surprise with these types of glitter polishes. I would recommend using 2 coats of topcoat or one really thick one. I knew when I saw these online I had to have them and I'm really happy that I purchased this collection. There are so many possibilities with these and I don't have anything else like them in my collection!

OPI Germany Collection Swatches

Hey readers! Today I have swatches of OPI's Fall 2012 Germany Collection to show you. It consists of 6 shimmers and 6 cremes. I typically do nail art, but I got this collex back in August and I've been dying to play with them. Sometimes if I don't do swatches of polishes, they'll be in my untrieds forever lol. Hella polish hoarder over here. My stash is at about 486 not counting top coat, base coats, or Konad/stamping polishes. Yikes! What's your "number?"

I really LOVE all 6 of the shimmers. Out of the cremes, I love Dont' Pretzel My Buttons and My Very First Knockwurst. I'm not partial to grey at all and the 2 weird colors, well they're just that. The formula was great on all of them. All swatches are 2 coats, except Suzi & the 7 Dusseldorfs and Berlin There Done That, they're 3. These are all shown without topcoat. Which ones have you ladies picked up?

Guest Post for Let Them Have Polish

Hey beauties! The lovely Cris from Let Them Have Polish asked me to do a guest post for her! She is one of my all time favorite bloggers so you can imagine when I read her message I was squealing like a little girl in happiness and excitement. I did this owl mani especially for her. To see my inspiration and what I used, it out here!

Black and Copper Tribal Print

Happy Sunday! Nursing school has been kicking my butt and I have been dying to paint my nails! This mani is the first full mani I wore in 3 weeks! I only got to wear it for a day, but at least I got a lot of compliments on it at work. I used OPI Black Onyx and stamped using MASH 41 (middle and ring) and MASH 43 (index and pinky) in Essie Penny Talk. I hated taking this off, I thought it looked pretty awesome.
