On Red Alert

Models Own Nail Polish in Red Alert - £5

Ever since I first discovered Models Own nail polishes last year, I seem to have gained quite a collection of them. It seems to me that every time I shop in Boots, I end up leaving with at least one new Models Own shade - maybe not very good for my bank balance, but definitely exciting! I get super excited over new nail polishes, especially Models Own ones, as I love spending my time doing my nails.

The shade I chose a couple of weeks ago was Red Alert. I'd been looking for a red nail polish for a while, but every one I'd seen had been either too much of a maroon colour, or too orangey/pinky. So, of course, on a spur of the moment trip to Boots (these have become quite frequent recently, no wonder I run out of money so easily!), I went over to the Models Own section and had a little looksie. Red Alert caught my eye straight away, I was in love! So I snapped it up, took it home and of course, tried it out straight away.

As with all Models Own polishes I've tried so far, the consistency of the polish is great. You can get away with one coat of it, although I prefer to use two just to make the colour a bit bolder. This means you don't have to use tons of the polish too, so it lasts for a long time - I'm starting to see the Models Own polishes as an investment rather than an impulse buy now! The brush that Models Own uses in their polishes is one of the best ones I've used - it holds a lot of colour, meaning that you don't have to dip it in dozens of times to make sure your nails are fully coated. I've always found their brushes make it really easy to apply the polish too, as they don't leave streaks on your nails and the colour always looks really even.

Even after trying out so many of their polishes, I'm still on the lookout for more - and I'm super excited about their new Splash Collection, so so pretty!
