Models Own Nail Polish 'Pink Paradise'

Pink Paradise is a new nail polish from Models Own from their latest collection containing 5 shades. The 'splash' collection has literally just came out into Boots and I saw Pink Paradise and had to pick it up.

Pink Paradise looks like a super bright barbie pink colour but in actual fact its nowhere near as pink on the nails. Its a very sheer pink with chunks of iridescent glitter shining purple, orange, yellow and green with shimmer particles shining the same colours. The first layer is very sheer with a hint of pink and a varied amount of glitter.

I used three coats of Pink Paradise and it still does not look like the colour in the bottle. However I do like the colour on the nails, its not an overpowering pink, its a light pink colour which a heap of glitter particles. The glitter particles look stunning in the sun shine and can still pick up the glitter in dull daytime whether.

Plus if you are looking for a super quick nail polish to apply, I would not recommend this as it does take 5 mins max to dry and you need quite a few layers to make the colour decent enough.

Overall dont expect pink paradise to be as pink as in the bottle, but its still a nice pink to where with the glitter which looks so nice. You might be able to get the same colour if you layer the nail polish lots of times but I prefer just three coats.

The problem with glitter nail polishes like this one, is the removal process. I think it will take a long time and a lot of nail polish remover and patience.

Mac Baking Beauties Haul

I have never really been a MAC fan since there products are expensive for what they are.However I do keep an eye out for any collection that catches my eye and this collection did just that.

The first item is a pro longwear paint pot in 'Mooncake'. This is my first ever paint pot and I am quite happy with this one. I love the colour, its so fresh and shimmery which will be best for the spring and summer.. Mooncake is a warm beige, so it is very netural and can be either worn on its own or under eye shadow.

The last few items are the pearlmatte face powders in Pink buttercream and In for a treat. These two are just amazing and so pretty. Pink Buttercream is a light silvery pink base with dark pink flowers and periwinkle leaves. This one is going to be great for light skin tones and the pink roses in the middle can be used as a pink blusher.

The second pearlmatte face powder is In for a treat which is a champagne base with matte coral flower and mint leaves. This can be used on all skin tones and the flowers in the middle can be used as a coral blusher. Both of these face powders are so beautiful to look at, however they do come at a cost of £21.50 which is the second highest product I have bought in my life so far.

Overall, all these products are very me and the colours are just amazing for this upcoming summer
