Models Own Wonderland Collection Swatches

Hello everyone!

Today I managed to get hold of two of the new models own wonderland polishes! So I rushed home as soon as I could to swatch them for you all! These polishes are currently available in boots stores for £5 each, however they are currently running a 3 for 2 promotion on cosmetics. Run to your nearest boots store and pick these gorgeous polishes up!!!

 

First up is Models Own Northern Lights. Models Own describe this polish as "a fine holographic multi-tonal glitter in a pink finish." I think this description is spot on. One coat of this polish leaves you with a sparse glitter top coat, while using three coats will give you a completely opaque look. The polish is not thick or thin, it is the perfect consistancy and is easy to work with, it applies beautifully to the nail and sparkles in the light, here's some more pictures of this gorgeous polish...

 

 This is one coat of Northern Lights over OPI Pink Friday, Revlon Lunar, Barry M White & OPI Rumples Wiggin'. As you can see this polish is also gorgeous to layer and adds a lovely sparkle to all of the base colours, I especially like it over black :)

Moving on to Models Own Southern Lights. Models Own describe this polish as "an opaque holographic multi-tonal glitter in a lilac finish". I agree with this description again, I think it's pretty spot on. This polish is purple based with glitter and holo glitter. Here it is on it's own with three coats...

And here it is layered over different base colours, with one coat of Southern Lights on each nail...

I apologies for the quick post, I was just so excited to show these polishes to you guys! They're so beautiful and I highly recommend that you go and buy them as soon as you can :)  I should have some more swatches of these polishes up tomorrow in daylight for you all to enjoy :)

Please let me know what you think of these polishes in the comments :)

Thanks for reading :)

My Stash

Hello everyone :)

Today I have quite a long post for you all. I thought it was about time to show you pictures of all my polish, especially since my collection has expanded rather a lot since I started blogging :P This post is picture heavy so I'll post pictures after the jump...

My Stash & January Haul

Hello everyone :)
Sorry for posting so late in the week, classes at Uni have really killed me this week :p Anyway, a lot of you who entered my giveaway said you'd like to see my stash and more haul posts so I thought I'd combine the two this week.
So my stash is still rather small at the minute I have roughly 150 polishes, I need to count soon :p I just keep them in my bed side table at the minute for storage purposes. So here's a look at my stash...

In my top drawer I keep my OPI's, as I have more of them than any other brand of polish. I also keep my China Glaze, Models Own, Nails Inc, Revlons, NOPI's, some Barry M, Essies and base/top coats in this drawer. 

In the second draw are my nail polish collections such as Color Club and China Glaze. Also my less used polishes such as collection 2000, Hot Looks, Wet N Wild, W7 and some Barry M Crackles. Also my finger paints flakies are in here as they don't fit in the first drawer :P

Also in the second drawer I keep this box. It contains brushes, files, cuticle remover/oil, nail glue, stamping plates and tools, nail art pens, gems etc... This just keeps all the smaller things together so I know exactly where they are when I need them.

Here's my haul this month so far. Looking at it it seems a lot of polish to me, I think my addiction is getting worse :P So here we have, OPI nail envy and rapidry duo, Finger Paints Special Effects Collection, OPI Nicki Minaj Collection, 10 new OPI's from lena White sale, Random China Glaze from Ebay, Technic holographic polish, Berry Love polish from H&M, 2 Essie Polishes (1 from Ebay, 1 from my boyfriend) and a China Glaze collection. I'm quite impressed with this haul to be honest :P I got alot of polishes I've been dying to get my hands on, I cant wait to try them all out, maybe I'll do some more swatches, as many of you wanted to see more on my blog, let me know in the comments :)

Also, I got another new camera :P This ones a DSLR so let me know what you think tot the quality of my pictures etc in the comments as I want to know what others think of the quality, colour etc..

Thanks for reading :)
