Models Own Gun Grey

Hi all!

A relatively short post today! I still have to swatch a few of my Models Own polishes, so here's another one for you :)

Models Own Gun Grey, two coats in daylight. The name really says it all; it's a gun grey polish. In my eyes, it truly looks like a gun grey polish since it has the perfect color for it and the finish is somewhere between metallic and frost. Only two coats for opacity, but one would have been sufficient if I used a thicker coat.

Models Own polishes are not B3F (toluene, formaldehyde, and dibutyl phthalate free) so this polish smells a bit, but application is fine and drying time was perfect. Models Own polishes can be bought at www.modelsownit.com and they do ship internationally, but please keep in mind they have a GBP 30 minimum for purchase.

Models Own Magenta Divine

Hi all!

How are you all today? Are you as tired as I am after only two days of work? I feel like I ran a marathon or something! Anyway, today I have Models Own Magenta Divine for you.

Models Own Magenta Divine, three coats in daylight. Magenta Divine is a clear based magenta glitter. Woah, glitter! It has been a while since I wore this kind of glitter.. Pretty though! Application was fine, I find that glitters have some kind of manual for application. I want the glitters evenly divided on my nails and sometimes glitter just sticks together. I didn't have that issue with this one though!

In the same range as Magenta Divine, there's Emerald City. I own Emerald City as well, so I'll try to swatch it somewhere later this week. I find myself really busy since I started working more, so I can't do my nails as often as I'd like. All will be fine though, I'm sure! I just have to find some kind of rhythm and balance in my life :)

Models Own Misty Grey

Hi all!

Although the weather was nice and sunny over here today, I decided to swatch some more Models Own polishes that I got in with various orders. Today I have Misty Grey for you.

Models Own Misty Grey, three coats in daylight. Misty Grey is exactly as the name states - a misty grey creme. Although mist would be less opaque, I think they came up with a name that summarizes the polish pretty well! The polish was a bit on the thick side, but other than that application was fine. I really like these misty, foggy colors. I don't think I own a polish that is a dupe for Misty Grey.

I'm planning on doing more swatching to complete my "Models Own polish database", but life got busy when I started working again.

Comparison: Models Own Slate Green vs. Misa Dirty Sexy Money

Hi all!

Gisteren was ik te laat thuis om nog te kunnen posten, vandaar dat ik mijn post naar vandaag verschoven heb. Ik maak het goed, dat beloof ik! Vandaag heb ik een comparison tussen Models Own Slate Green en Misa Dirty Sexy Money. Misa DSM is vrij moeilijk te vinden, dus zou het fijn zijn als er een dupe was.. Daarom heb ik een vergelijking gemaakt zodra ik Dirty Sexy Money binnen kreeg.

I got home a little late yesterday, so I couldn't upload my post anymore.. So I'll show you today what I wanted to post. I have a comparison between Models Own Slate Green and Misa Dirty Sexy Money for you today. Misa DSM is not that easy to find, so it would be nice to have a dupe handy. I decided to do a comparison with Dirty Sexy Money as soon as I got it in, which was this week.


Naast elkaar. In de flesjes lijken ze erg op elkaar.

Side by side. In the bottles they look quite close.



And in a bigger picture


Ik hoop dat het zo duidelijk te zien is, ik heb echt mijn best gedaan maar deze kleuren laten zich niet makkelijk op de foto vastleggen. Op mijn wijsvinger en ringvinger heb ik Misa Dirty Sexy Money twee laagjes, op mijn middelvinger en pink heb ik twee laagjes Models Own Slate Green. Zoals je kunt zien (hoop ik, dat zie ik in ieder geval op mijn scherm wel), zijn dit geen dupes. DSM is donkerder, meer blauw, terwijl Slate Green lichter is en de kleur van deze lak is wat koeler. Ze zijn allebei dusty en daarom vind ik ze allebei erg mooi. Dit zijn geen dupes. De applicatie op Misa Dirty Sexy Money was stukken beter dan die van Models Own Slate Green, maar misschien komt dat ook doordat Models Own alweer een tijdje stilstaat.

I hope you can see this, I really tried my best to get the colors right in the pictures and that wasn't easy. These colors are hard to photograph.. On my index and ring I'm wearing Misa Dirty Sexy Money, two coats, and on my middle and pinky I'm wearing two coats of Models Own Slate Green. As you can see, hopefully, these are not dupes. Dirty Sexy Money is darker and more blue in color, while Slate green is lighter and cooler. They're both dusty so I like them both a lot, although DSM is a little bit warmer. Again, these are not dupes. The application on Misa Dirty Sexy Money was way better than the application of Models Own Slate Green, but then again, I already have this Models Own polish for a couple of weeks, so maybe this polish just needs a little Restore.


Het verschil tussen de lakken is op deze manier beter te zien denk ik. Op mijn middelvinger zit dus Models Own, op de andere twee nagels zit Misa.

The difference is clearly visible in this picture I think. On my middle finger I wear Models Own, on the other two nails I'm wearing Misa.

I hope this helps, with either killing a lemming or creating one ;)

Models Own Betty Blue

Hi all!

Vandaag heb ik weer een lak van Models Own voor jullie. Dit keer een prachtige koninklijke blauw; Betty Blue.

Today I have another Models Own polish for you. This time it's a gorgeous royal blue; Betty Blue.

Be prepared for a lot of pics!

Models Own Betty Blue, twee laagjes in dag- en zonlicht. Betty Blue is een geweldige koninklijk blauwe jelly. Dit is twee laagjes en dan is ze al volledig dekkend. Ik ben onder de indruk! Applicatie van deze lak was een beetje lastig voor mij, aangezien de lak een beetje aan de dunne kant is, maar niks dat niet opgeruimd kon worden bij de cleanup :) Droogtijd is goed, daar had ik geen problemen mee.

Models Own Betty Blue, two coats in daylight and sunlight. Betty Blue is a gorgeous royal blue jelly. This is two coats and she's completely opaque with those two coats. I'm impressed! Application was a bit tricky for me, since the polish was a bit watery, but nothing I couldn't fix without a little cleanup. Drying time was good, no problems at all.


Betty Blue met Color Club Worth The Risque. Ik heb imageplate M78 gebruikt om te stempelen. De Color Club Holo's lenen zich bijzonder goed voor stempelen zoals jullie wel in de gaten hebben! De Konad is niet helemaal goed gelukt, maar ik vind de combinatie erg leuk.

Betty Blue with Color Club Worth The Risque. I used imageplate M78 for stamping. The Color Club holo's are very suitable to use for Konad as you may have noticed! The Konad isn't the best Konad I did, the image was kinda tricky to get on right. I do like the combination though! Will try this combo again in the near future. I will take a pic when I did a better job on the Konad.

And a closer look of the image on the nail:


I think it's hot!

Well, this is it for today! How do you like Betty Blue?
