Models Own Indian Ocean Swatches and Review

Hiya, today I have Indian Ocean from the new Beetlejuice collection, it is a lot more pleasing than the previous polishes from the collection, it feels so fresh :). 
I know it is a very sheer polish but I didn't have a suitable pale blue with me so I chose to wear it on its own, this is 5 layers and there is still VNL but it's pretty.



I'm not particularly pleased with these photographs but I have no choice! I do really like this polish, it's so pretty and delicate and it has a really strong duochrome, changing from blue with pink to golden yellow flash. It's really sparkly too and shiny without topcoat :) I think it should be called spring evening sky or something lame like that as the colours are exactly what the sky looks like blue and pink with the sun like this...
Lol. 
I like it alot, it dried quickly and went on nice and smooth, £5 well spent :) I kind of want to try out the other two now haha they see nice and summery as is this one but I think it could work in the colder months too as it is kind of icy looking. Go get it!

Models Own Golden Green (Beetle Juice) Swatches and review

Here's another polish from the Beetle Juice collection of 2011, this time it's Golden Green, which could be a dupe for Chanel Peridot at first glance however it's not although it was probably inspired by Chanel like the Car-Key collection was :)! 



I really like this photograph, you can tell that the sun was just about to set, it's a gorgeous glowy light (sorry that's the photography student side of me talking :P). 



This is only two coats put on in about 2 minutes as I was in a hurry as the sun wasn't going to be around for much longer and I was baking biscuits (which were yummmmmy) anyway it goes on fine and dries pretty quick too and it comes off super quick and easy although you are left with a gold shimmer on your bare nails which I happen to like haha. I don't think this colour suits me, it's okay when it's green like in the top picture and it's lovely when it's golden but when it's a mix like above....I don't know all I can think is Aliens! Like this is what an alien woman's nails would look like. It's so spacey, you could interpret that as very modern ;) I do like it, I was ooing and arring at it when it was in the sunlight but I just cant get past how lizard like it is, it just doesn't suit me. 

Even though I probably won't wear it again, I won't give it away, ever. I like looking at it, it's pretty and ugly at the same time. 

Do you like this colour? Would you wear it? 




Models Own Purple Blue (Beetle Juice) Swatches and Review

I got the Beetle Juice collection literally the minute they came available online but I've only worn each one once...I was so excited when I saw the promo photos so I felt bad for neglecting them so I put purple blue over forget me not to do some swatches as the sun was out! It was 1 degree outside but the sun was shining so I took advantage. 

All these photos are taken with sunlight as the only light source! It was so bright :D one layer of varnish. 


Here it is blue and purple glitter...


As you can see here it now looks pink and purple...


A bit out of focus but it shows all the different colours in the polish


When the sun hits it it changes to a gorgeous coppery orange, strange photo I know but it was the only way to capture the orange, look how sparkly it is!


The final photo shows all four colours, orange, pink, purple and blue. 

As I said this is only one coat as it is over another polish but I think it would need 3 to be completely opaque, it's a gorgeous colour, my second favourite behind Emerald Black but that's one of my nail varnishes that's at home :(. It's easy enough to remove and has a decent drying time, I don't what else to say apart from I like it and I wish the sun would come out more often so I could wear it :). 

Because I didn't post yesterday due to uni deadline being tomorrow :| I'm going to post another beetle juice swatch today!

Have you got any of these polishes? Would you want any?
