Pay Day Temptations


If I didn't know before today I was a nail polish addict, today I have one proof my love for nail polishes has reached uncontrollable heights. I've just indulged in a models own half price sale (my polishes have reached me safely 2 days afterwards!) I've not played with them yet and I want some more. Let me share with you what I've now got my heart on.


These polishes are from the Models Own Professional Range, which is a little bit pricier than the normal range: £8 per bottle as opposed to £ 5, for the traditional range


The Models Own Professional justifies their prices as it is "specially formulated to both assist nail growth and prolong colour, preventing any fading. Added benefits of the premium range include vitamin E and UV sun filters to protect the nail". The added benefits do sound very nice but at the end of the day it's still £8.


This another bootleg press release picture, showing of the very well kept stand of Models Own Professional range in the Boots shop in a town near me.

and these are the shades which got me drooling in particular.

I need to hang in my head in shame as I wrote the information about the first polish incorrectly and looking back at my notes, there is no way that this polish can be called 'Stark Naked' and be a nude beige with a golden shimmer. My guess is that this one is called ‘Lavender Blue’. ‘Pinky Pearl’ is a rather odd name for this sumptuous shade of shimmer reddy rusty orange shade. ‘Sunny Honey’ is a shimmery golden yellow and Clay Away is gorgeous shade of khaki.

If money grew on trees, those beauties would be what I would have loved to spend my pennies on. Boots have a got a special 'triple points 'offer on, especially for the bank holiday week end but I shall be good and resist... until there is hopefully another 3 for 2 offer on these polishes. If you do happen to know the name of pale lilac polish, please let me know!




Will you be splurging at Boots this week end?

Last Call nails from Nina Ultra Pro

.
Put a gold shimmer in any nail polish and it's a thumbs up for me. Put a gold shimmer in an amazing easy to apply and smooth formula and wrap it in a 15ml bottle and sell it at £3.89 and I am in love. Meet my latest addition to my little nail polish collection: Last Call from Nina Ultra Pro.

Until a few days ago, I had not even heard of Nina Ultra Pro. When looking for a China Glaze nail polish (one of the gems of the discontinued OMG holographic collection) on Sallys Express website, I came across the brand Nina ultra pro. A quick search into google brought me to a picture of someone's nails wearing 'Last Call'. I was sold right away and I just had to pop down to my local Sallys and get it.

'Last call' is delightful purply wine polish infused with gold. The application is just so easy, not a bubble, streak, patch in sight and I can't believe this has not been talked about more in the blogosphere. Needless to say that I've got my eyes on many more polishes from the brand. 'Mossy Britches' and 'Maple Syrup' are now on my lust list.
