Beauty - Manicure Monday - Amethyst Velvet Goth

It's Monday again, so you get another Manicure Monday post. 

And this week its been all about this sparkly purple beauty! From Models Own Velvet Goth range, this is the Amethyst colour. It is actually a matt purple colour but with a heavy amount of sparkly glitter bits! It is really pretty although a bit of a pain to get on! As it is so thick it can be a little different to spread nicely across the whole nail, but once I managed it it looks great. Perfect for a party or a night out.

I picked this one up at the Clothes Show Live and hadn't realised it was a matt colour (or party of the velvet goth range at all actually) I just liked the sparkly colour in the bottle!

Beauty - Manicure Monday - Green Flash

Yep Monday will now (hopefully!) be dedicated to my nails! The one bit of beauty that I actually get and do on a regular basis.

This week I have been wearing this blingy green/gold colour from Models Own, it's called Green Flash! And I love it! Even my boss noticed it, and he's a bloke! It went on really smoothly, did need 2 coats though but that is normal these days. Staying power, even without a top coat was pretty good though! I picked this up whilst I was at the Clothes Show Live, the colour in the bottle really stood out!

Beauty: Mani of the week

Me and Jon were photographing a Charity Ball this week and although it was black and white themed I thought my outfit needed just a little bit of colour and sparkle, so I chose to put it on my nails in the form of Models Own Party Pieces over Collection 2000's Ebony. 

I just love this glitter over darker colours to add a bit of sparkle to any outfit or dull day - pity it is such a bugger to get off afterwards!

Has anyone else used this polish? Or any other glitter polishes they would recommend? 

Beauty - Mani of the week

Gosh Monday again! Time is flying by already and the year has only just begun! 

Just a quick post today. This is another mani from over the festive period.

My wonderful sis bought me this great Models Own Gold Finger Nail Polish from the Clothes Show Live for Christmas, and I put it over a cheap green polish I had. The glitter shined amazingly and lots of customers at work commented on how pretty it was.

My one warning is that it is god awful to get off!! I literally spent half an hour trying to get all the glitter off with this one! I had the same problem with another glitter last night actually, so in the end poured half my bottle of nail varnish remover into a plastic bowl and completely submerged my nails, I saw this trick on Pintrest, waited 5 minutes and rubbed with a cotton wool pad, amazing it came off, glitter and all! Still took a little work to get every last piece but so much quicker, then I just poured the polish back in the bottle, much easier!

Anyone else tried the Models Own Glitter Range? I also have the Disco Inferno Mirror Ball, which I'll blog pictures of next week.

Well we are actually off on holiday for a week tomorrow. Just to scotland to stay with my aunt, but it will be a nice break after working so hard over the xmas period. But don't worry I won't be leaving my blog all alone, I have scheduled a few fun posts for you all.
