Models own: Velvet goth - valerian review

Hey guys, thank you again for taking the time to look at my blog! Today I am reviewing Valerian from the new range of Models Own (my fav. brand ever!) If you don't already know the range is called velvet goth it features deep colours - deep purple, red, blue, green and black with chunks of different sizes of glitter in. The effect is a matte effect and dries reasonably quick, I wouldn't say it was bump free when it dries as the glitter in the polish makes it a tiny bit bumpy ( nothing that can't be smoothed out with a topcoat!) the formula is quite thick and I found it more difficult to apply than other collections of Models Own polishes in my polish collection- nevertheless it's certainly not hard to apply! But the end result is ABSOLUTELY beautiful and I am well and truly in love with this polish! 

Matte effect -after 2 coats :

Glossy top coat

i have to say I prefer the nail varnish with a topcoat, it really brings out the glitter and I  think it makes it look more pretty and I also love glossy polishes :D . I also purchased 2 more polishes from the Velvet Goth range and took advantage if the boots offer, I will be reviewing those in a few days time! I also bought the Bubblegum ice neon colour which I love! And i am coming up with new designs to show you all! 

I give Models Own - Valerian a ... 8/10 because I adore the polish soo much as blue is my favourite colour, and the glitter gives an amazing look but it's slightly thick and and a little uneven when applied. However it gives a great coverage, I can't wait to try the others out to show you all! 

Until next time,

Lush Leopard print

Hello my lovely readers, I'm here bringing you my first basic tutorial on how I do leopard print nails. I always used to do them by painting it until I bought the Barry m nail art pen! It's amazing it is like a pen and dries very quickly so no waiting around for polish to dry! It's a mani must have!

Just want to apologise for my short, extremely unhealthy nails - I recently had a faze of acrylics and they destroyed my nails as you can see! My poor nails :(

Anyways moving on here it is :

Tip- when outlining spots, draw little C's around each side! It makes it very easy :) also don't forget little dots which adds to the effect.

Thanks for taking the time to read my post! Do you like this design it's very girly and pink and I LOVE it, maybe it could be toned down with nude colours and brown leopard print for a less in your face look. Please try it yourself and see how easy it is and/or leave thoughts, ideas, comment as I'd love to hear for y'all.

Thankful!

Just wanna give everyone who has checked out my blog a big thanks!  means a lot you've had a look-so thank you.

I have had a change of plan about buying models own new ranges as when I went into boots they had sold out! :( so will have to order some offline when I get round to it.

New nail art tonight, after I finish 50+ pages in my book :( because I chipped my nails rock climbing today- had fun but my nails didn't! Hmm thinking an autumn flower/ leaf design!

Ocean blues

Hey everyone! This is my first nail polish design for my blog, I wanted to keep it simple so I decided on a gradient/ ombré design, for this design I used Cobalt Blue - by BarryM and also Dreamer - by
Revlon. I will be doing more detailed art, however I have a whopping book for literature to read in a week D: so my brain is gonna be frazzled!

Anyways, do you like the design, I think it would look good in deep reds and oranges - seeings as it if officially autumn! Please leave a comment and try it out for yourself make sure you send me a picture on twitter @ItsNailORNever - I'd love to hear from you!
