My Models Own Collection...

As mentioned previously I don't just love the polishes, I love pretty much everything Models Own release. From Artstix and nail art pens, to eyeliners and make up sponges, Models Own are fantastic!

I decided to see just how many polishes I'd collected over the past few years and was quite surprised by what I saw! I am known for sticking to pink nails 9 times out of 10, so there's no surprise that the majority of my polishes are pinks. What was surprising was the amount of greens and darks I'd amassed. It may not look like many but I so rarely wear green on my nails that I didn't even realise I had a few different shades!

My favourite collection has to be the Hypergel range (I love almost every colour of the 30 polishes they've released so far) but my favourite polish is probably Wonderland, Shades or Sundress. 

What's your favourite Models Own polish?

Models Own can be found online at www.modelsownit.com, in Superdrug stores across the country and in super cool Bottleshops across the world.

The polishes usually retail at £4.99 but Models Own are currently on 3 for 2 at Superdrug!

My First Trip to a Models Own Bottleshop!

For months I have been envious of all the cities which are lucky enough to call themselves home to a Models Own Bottleshop. Living in Manchester you'd think it would be easy to source Models Own nail polish yet it can be surprisingly difficult! 

In the summer when Models Own had disappeared from Boots stores and was being introduced to Superdrug there was not one store in central Manchester which had Models Own in stock; even the Trafford Centre's Superdrug was awaiting its stand. Fortunately now the larger Superdrug stores have a decent selection to choose from but that doesn't stop my jealousy!

I'd been meaning to visit a Bottleshop for ages but always felt they were too far away. However, to my surprise it was only around a 45 minute drive to White Rose shopping centre in Leeds. 
I'd seen images of Bottleshops online many times but that didn't stop my excitement going into overdrive when I first spotted the iconic Models Own logo. The Bottleshop was beautiful. When I first entered I was greeted by a very knowledgeable and friendly sales assistant who gave me a free Black Kohl Eyeliner Pencil which retails at £3.99 (not sure if this always happens but still, winner!).

The Bottleshop had plenty of polishes in stock, including the new Spring Hypergels and the hugely popular Colour Chrome range. There are colours for everyone and stock of Models Own many non-polish accessories too! One thing that really caught my eye were the exclusive collection boxes as I'd never seen those before. There was a set of Diamond Luxe, Pastels vs. Neon and also some of the early Hypergels. These collections are beautiful, and at £30.00 for 10 polishes an absolute steal!

After much debate I decided to make the most of the 5 for £20.00 offer and purchase Colour Chrome in Rose and Indigo and three of the new Spring Hypergels; Paradise Pink, Powder Blue and Prude Nude. Even better still, my purchase came in a beautiful neon Models Own bag which was very cute!

I loved every part of my Bottleshop experience and can't wait to visit again!

Modelsownit.com Nail Polish and Accessories Haul!

I am a HUGE fan of Models Own polishes. I first noticed them when I worked at Boots a few years ago and have followed their journey ever since. They have colours for everyone, release collections regularly and are particularly great at releasing lots of my beloved pinks!

One thing I especially love about Models Own however is their annual 50% off sale. I remember a few years ago trying to get all my friends and family to like their Facebook page as they were going to announce a sale once they reached 100,000 likes. They now boast a very impressive 280,000 likes which just shows how much their fan base has grown. 

I've attached some images of my Models Own sale haul from last month. You may notice that there aren't too many polishes actually there but I am just as in love with Models Own's accessories as I am with the cute little bottles!

One of my favourite accessories are the tweezers. I bought these same tweezers a while back, before it came with the storage container, and they are the best tweezers I've ever used. They have a slanted head which make them incredibly precise compared to tweezers I've used in the past which can barely grab the hairs. 

Something I've purchased yet haven't tried before is the Nail Art Tool Kit. I'm really excited to give this a go and will make sure to share a review when I do!

Let me know in the comments if you managed to grab anything too!
