Boots No7 Cheeky Chops and Models Own Mirrorball Hot Stuff

Two very different styles to show you tonight! The first is bright and summery:




This is Boots No7 Cheeky Chops with Models Own Mirrorball in Hot Stuff on the ring finger and Nails Inc Culford Gardens dots! I'm a big fan of the Boots No7 polishes, particularly when I've got one of the £5 No7 vouchers Boots give out so often! This colour is bright and lovely, and nice in two coats.


Next up is what I'm wearing right now. A much darker mani, but with added sparkle. I was hoping for a starry sky effect, but it doesn't beat my favourite Galaxy nails (HERE):



These ones are Barry M Navy with Revlon Stunning pieces picked out and put on separately! I also dotted white first to make the 'stars' stand out! I really love this blue polish, it's so shiny even before topcoat.


Which are your favourite?

Models Own Mirrorball Freak Out!

Okay, this is my new favourite from the Models Own Mirrorball Collection (yes, I'll probably say that about each one)


Accent nail only tonight, taking off a full glitter mani every night is more than my heart (or nails) can bear. But doesn't it look pretty?! The Nails Inc polish base is a duochrome so it's a lovely combination of purples and blues in general.

What I used:
  • Essie Trillionails basecoat
  • Nails Inc Garrick Street (3 coats)
  • Models Own Freak Out! from the Mirrorball Collection
  • Seche Vite topcoat

So what do you think of this one? Definitely my favourite...

Models Own Mirrorball Boogie Nights

Here's the next Mirrorball Collection polish! This one is called Boogie Nights and I like it even better than the last!



This is layered over Nails Inc Montrose Place, and I love it! It's so sparkly and multicoloured, and application is pretty easy because of the new gel like finish.

Models Own even used the picture above on their Facebook page! (Click the link!) Thanks Models Inc!

What I used:
  • Essie Trillionails basecoat
  • Nails Inc Montrose Place (2 coats)
  • Models Own Mirrorball Collection in Boogie Nights (2 coats)
  • Seche Vite topcoat

You can buy the Mirrorball Collection on the Models Own website HERE for a bargainous £20, or each polish separately for £5 a piece. They really are worth it. I've had so many compliments today.


What do you think?

Models Own Mirrorball Dancing Queen

So, here is the first of the Models Own Mirrorball Collection! My husband picked Dancing Queen for me to try first. I put it over Nails Inc Emerald Street because I felt like having proper green nails tonight!



It's kinda lovely. As usual, it's impossible to show the glitter properly in a photo, but there are all sorts of colours going on! It goes on very smoothly, suspended in a clear base, and isn't too tricky to place - I just brushed this on, no dabbing or selective placement.


I'm not looking forward to removing it though!

What I used:
  • Essie Trillionails basecoat
  • Nails Inc Emerald Street (2 coats)
  • Models Own Dancing Queen (1 coat)
  • Seche Vite topcoat
I think it would also look amazing with a few coats for really spangly nails, but I like it like this too.

What do you think? Which one should I try next?

Barry M Peach Melba with Konad skulls

Here are some quick Konad nails that I did, I love this Konad stamp and this Barry M colour!




What I used:
  • Essie Trillionails basecoat
  • Barry M Peach Melba (3 coats)
  • Konad M28 Skull and Crossbones with black Konad special polish
  • Seche Vite topcoat

What do you think? I love Barry M polishes, this one was a bit streaky but worth three coats!

    Nails Inc Berkeley Square and Models Own Purple Haze

    Because I'm slightly addicted to sponged glitter tipped nails, here are some that I just did...



    What I used:
    • Essie Trillionails basecoat
    • Nails Inc Berkeley Square (2 coats)
    • Models Own Purple Haze (sponged)
    • Seche Vite topcoat (this took two coats to be smooth!)
    What do you think? I promise to lay off the sponged tips soon. Maybe.

    Barry M Berry Icecream and Models Own Indian Ocean

    Tonight I went for a simple design. This is Barry M Berry Icecream with Models Own Indian Ocean sponged tips. It's tricky to photograph, as always!



    What I used:
    • Essie Trillionails basecoat
    • Barry M Berry Icecream (3 coats)
    • Models Own Indian Ocean sponged on tips
    • Seche Vite topcoat

    I also noticed I'm very close to 100 followers here! I never expected to have so many followers after less than a year - thank you all. I also have a staggering 1645 on my Instagram account @shepaintshernails - I can't believe it! Definitely thinking about another giveaway...
