Models Own recently released a range of funky polish duos. Each duo is a pretty combination of one colour polish and one glitter from their extensive line of polishes. I love wearing glitter toppers on my nails and I don’t know about you guys, but to this day I’ve never made it to the bottom of a bottle of glitter! Has anyone?! These sounded like an ideal solution – a little colour and a little glitter for almost the same price as one regular bottle of polish. (These RRP at £6 each and the regular bottles are £5). Win win!
The duos come in double ended bottles with the brushes sticking outwards from the middle. Now I know what you’re thinking… at first I had doubts about how easy these brushes would be to manoeuvre too but they’re surprisingly easy to use and I didn’t have any problem with application. Now on to the fun part… swatches!
Blibble – Bubblegum x Blizzard
Blibble is a very ‘loud’ combo, perfect for summer holidays. The base colour is Bubblegum, a bright fluorescent pink and it applied well in two coats. My camera didn’t do a very good job of capturing how bright it really is. I used one coat of Blizzard on top and coat of Sally Hansen Dries Instantly to finish it off.

Jade Flakes – Jade Stone x Snowflakes
I love the base colour in this one but I was disappointed with the topper. Snowflakes is very thick and gooey so I found it hard to manage and there wasn’t much glitter payoff for all my troubles. I used two coats of Snowflake and you can see it’s still very sparse. It is a lovely looking combination but with all those coats it took way too long to dry thanks the gooey base in Snowflakes.
Jade Stone is a Models Own shade that I’ve had my eye on for a while and it’s as brilliant as I’d hoped. Perfect application in two coats!

Pink Stuff – Pastel Pink x Hot Stuff
This is my pick of the three and I don’t have much to say about it other than it’s great! I love the hand cut glitter in Hot Stuff which is from the mirrorball collection. I used 3 thin coats of Pastel Pink with one coat of Hot Stuff plus a top coat of Sally Hansen Dries Instantly.
