Models Own - Mirrorball Collection

I spotted Models Own are releasing another new line of nail polishes soon. I have to say, they have been on a role with new lines recently. This latest offering is called the Mirrorball Collection. Take a look:
 
 
 
These five new polishes will cost £5 and will be hitting the shops at Westfield Shopping Centre, Sheperds Bush on September 6, on the Models Own wesbite on September 10 and in Boots stores across the UK on October 3. The boxset of all five will cost £20.
 
Which of these takes your fancy? The names are Disco Inferno which is the gold polish, Hot Stuff is a mixture of pink and gold, Freak Out is the mix of blue and purple, Dancing Queen is the emerald green, blue and gold, Boogie Nights is the multicoloured mixture of purple, pink and blue.
 
At least these have more interesting names than their Beetlejuice Collection polishes. I love the look of Boogie Nights.

Bows and Holos

Using the new M59 Konad stamping plate and OPI DS Signature holographic polish I created a simple yet eye catching manicure.

Firstly, the holographic polish:




Stamping with Konad Special Polish in black:




I have not been in the habit of stamping for a while, for some reason I just couldn't get this bow stamp as crisp as I would like.

I got the OPI polish from ebay a while ago but have barely used it, seeing as the sun came out a bit in North Devon I put it in.

Konad scraper stamper combo

I have been a fan of the Konad stamping system for years, up until now I had been using the small stamper with a scraper. A while back Konad brought out a stamper scraper combo. I appeared to have lost my previous stamper (actually I think one of the kittens may have run off with it) so I bought the all in one. Seeing as I was on Amazon I picked up a new image plate, M59.




The stamper/scraper combo comes with a stand, the green end is the small end, pink the larger end which allows you to create full nail designs and of course the scraper on the side. As far as how it is to use, it feels quicker, I guess because I didn't have to keep putting it down like I do with the individual stamper/scraper.

The image plate, M59 has snowflakes, bows and hearts.

$250,000 Nail Polish.....

I was browsing the Daily Mail website when I read about a nail polish, not just any type of nail polish, but the world's most expensive nail polish. Being sold for a whopping $250,000, it contains 276 carats of black diamonds.



I read only one bottle of LA based luxury jeweler Azature has been created, although smaller bottles (0.5oz) are to be made and will contain a single black diamond. These will be sold in Fred Segal stores throughout LA.

All looks very nice, but I am sure China Glaze's Cosmic looks like a pretty good and more affordable dupe for the rest of us!
