Swatch: Models Own - Gold Rush

I was contacted by Littlewoods to review a couple of Models Own nail polishes, my first thought was I didn't even know they sold cosmetics! But apparently they do along with Barry M, OPI, Nails Inc, Butter London, Bourjois, Rimmel and NYX and as we all know it is vitally important to know of all nail polish outlets and in this case nailcare products at Littlewoods.

On to the nail polish, this one is Gold Rush (NP 106).

Colour: Gold

Finish: Glassflecked rather than a foil

Opacity: Two coats

Brush Type: Standard

How Much? 14ml

I'm not sure if this colour really works with my skin tone, but I imagine on a deeper skin tone it would look amazing. So I thought I would use Gold Rush as a base for a bit of nail art:

Models Own - Gold Rush
W7 - Black
Bundle Monster - BM208


[sent for reviewing purposes, this doesn't affect my honest opinion]

Sunday Stamping: Lilac Base

As the title suggests this weeks challenge was to stamp over a lilac base, I used ELF's Lilac.

ELF - Lilac
W7 - Black
Bundle Monster BM319

Nails: Under the Sea

I did these nails a while back, I think that they look almost under the sea like. I wish I'd went on to do some nail art on top of this, perhaps Finding Nemo.

Barry M - Retro Blue
Maybelline - Flash Cosmic #840

Swatch: Essence - Chic Reloaded

Finish: Duochrome

Colour: Greens, purples and hints of pink

How Much? 8ml

Brush Type: Wide and flat

Unfortunately Essence products aren't sold within the UK. But you can find Essence in Ireland and the rest of Europe.

Time Period Challenge: Imperial China

This week's time challenge was Imperial China, I based my nail art around the Qing Dynasty Flag from 1889. Which was the last imperial dynasty of China. I was trying out a new nail art brush but it didn't seem to have a fine enough tip for what I wanted to do here.
