Models Own Diamond Luxe Swatches

When I saw that Models Own were releasing a collection in autumnal colours with diamond dust in, I just knew I had to have it. Sadly due to finances I couldn't afford all ten colours in the collection but thanks to Superdrug's buy one get one half price offer I was able to get these four colours for a great price!


First up is Emerald Green. It's a gorgeous light green colour. The  consistency is perfect and it went on like a dream. It's such a beautiful colour and the shimmer from the diamond dust just topped it all off. The only negative I would say about this one is that it stained my fingers rather badly as I was removing it. This is three thin coats with no top coat. 
Next up is Oval Plum. This is a stunning deep pink and is the most unusual colour out of the four I've got. The shimmer is really strong in this one and as it catches the light it's just beautiful. Really good consistency again and is easy to apply and remove. This is two thick coats with no top coat. 
Next we have Asscher Blue. This is a really gorgeous bright blue and could be worn all year round. I found this one was really hard to apply as it had a really grainy texture. It's a stunning colour but is my least favourite of the collection due to the poor consistency and texture. This is three thin coats with no top coat. 
And last but certainly not least is my favourite of the four - Marquise Maroon. I'm a sucker for anything burgundy or deep red and this did not disappoint. The shimmer really sets off the red and it's just the perfect autumn/winter polish. Out of all of them this is the thinnest consistency which made it slightly runny but it was still easy to manage and went on really well. This is two thick coats with no top coat.
Altogether it's a really concise, well thought out and beautiful collection. I can't wait to save up and get the rest of the colours!

Until next time,

- Esther :)
