Models Own Nail Polishes Review and some NOTDS


Hello beauties! I have been delaying this post for so many days as I didn’t have all the pictures assembled at one place. Well, I assembled them out today and thought of reviewing the Models Own Nail Polish range that I have won a few months back :D.
I won’t call myself a polish junkie but I love doing all that konad stuff sometimes so was in a frenzy of getting new polishes and when I won this range from the Models Own FB page it was cherry on the top for me.

QUANTITY: 14ml

SWATCHES:

Pastel Pink
Coral Reef
Lilac Dream
Jade Stone
Blooboo
MY EXPERIENCE: All the five polishes that I have used are pastel colors and are creamy in texture. Out of these 5, I love the Lilac Dream, Pastel Pink and Blooboo the most (in that order).  Jade Stone resembles my Lotus Herbals Go Grapes shade a lot, while Coral reef makes my hands look a bit darker. Here is how they fared on my nails, 

WHAT I LIKED: 
  • They are super creamy nail polishes and two coats are enough for opaque color. A great option for water-marbling too. (I tried to do it and the polishes worked great but I failed to get through the whole process. :( :P)
  • The brush is of great quality and spreads the polish evenly.
  • Dries up pretty fast. After 5mins it feels a bit squishy and some 10 mintues later you can run your hands over it without any imprint.
  • A great range of colors is available. For more details and viewing colors click here.
  • 14ml is quite a huge quantity and would last a while.
WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE:
  • After it dries up on nails, it forms tiny bubbles and this is the case with all the colors. I don’t know if something is wrong with this batch of colors or my nails.
  • Chips or starts peeling in 3-4 days.
  • Well it is quite pricey when converted to INR and along with that the shipping charges can create a huge hole in the pocket.
  • As it is so creamy, I fear that it would dry up in the bottle soon.
VERDICT: Since I use it as base for konad nail art I don’t mind the bubbles but it doesn’t last on the nails for long which is a con for being a bit pricey nail polish. You might give it a try for all the awesome colors available in their range if online shopping is not a bother for you.

RATINGS:  3.5 out of 5
