I never fail to get excited by the latest batch of models own polishes.. their colours are super snazzy and they're always coming up with fun new finishes and textures. 

I've got my mitts on some of their newbies and these metallic and glitter gels are the perfect polishes for the upcoming party season. 

so I decided to throw a little giveaway, huzzah! it's been a while since my last one right? I figured these would be a cool gift for one of you- a little thank you for sticking around, you guys rock.

first up we have the glitter gel polishes- these are a twist on their hyper gel ranges. with the glitter gels you get the nice raised finish of a gel mani but way better (cause it glitter.) 

my favourite shades are the gold tone sheer sparkle and the crystal pink with it's teeny flecks of glitter for the ultimate princess finish!

and then we have my faves.. the colour chrome liquid metal effect polishes. you may remember I reviewed some shades before here. well I have a new batch here and the copper and pearl shades look pretty darn dreamy...

so if you would like to get hold of these 10 beauties.. pop below and enter the rafflecopter draw!

I'll be moderating the entries so please make sure you follow the requirements. this is a UK only competition this time (sorry our postmen don't like us to send these overseas grrr)

a few years ago I hated the transition into a/w nails. now I actively look forward to it.

I found myself sporting black nails this summer when I'd usually be caught wearing baby blues and pastels. turns out I've really grown into wearing deeper, richer shades on my nails these days.

I've been dusting off my favourite winter shades so I figured I'd round them up for you. looking for a new polish? well read on and see if anything catches your fancy..

top row left to right- models own hyper gel bermuda blue, models own twilight in teal, models own hyper gel ebony green, barry m grey, models own hyper gel raven red.

bottom row left to right- barry m gelly in lychee, models own chrome gold, barry m gelly in mustard, topshop nails in pillar box, models own twilight marsala.

my winter shades are still colourful but it's a richer jewel tone selection. switch out the pastels for vivid blues and reds dark enough to pass as black until they catch the light. 

models own are my most used polishes as I like their hyper gels. the colour choice is really good and their new twilight collection has some lovely shades (the ebony green and raven red from their last a/w gel collection are still firm favourites of mine.) I also picked a few barry m polishes, their mustard is such a wicked shade and goes perfectly with all the 70's vibes doing the rounds this season. 

do you have any nail polish favourites, let me know?

back soon

 I thought I'd seen it all and then liquid metal nail polishes landed!

it's not often I swatch a whole collection, but the latest A/W hyper gels are some of the best shades for winter I've come across... by far.
