notd: models own- concrete mixer + beautyuk- matte top coat

| model's own in concrete mixer £5- boots |


can you believe i had never owned a model's own nail polish until a few weeks ago?! my local boots and superdrug have both had a massive makeover which has lead to a model' own stand appearing from out of nowhere! i own almost every barry m nail polish so it's nice to see another brand that can satisfy my polish addiction.


this colour is one i'd been looking for for ages! it's the most gorgeous mid toned grey shade, perfect if you're looking for a more neutral polish that doesn't go down the traditional baby pink route. i've been wearing this to school all the time because it goes with absolutely everything and it lasts for a good few days without a top coat. excellent when i don't really have much time to switch up colours!


| beautyuk matte top coat £2.99- superdrug |

i don't own a single matte nail polish so when i saw this on the stands in superdrug it was a must have buy, especially at the purse-friendly price of £2.99. if i'm honest i wasn't expecting it to work.... not to the full extent that a completely matte polish does anyway, but boy was i wrong!

this picture doesn't show you the full extent of how amazing this polish is. the tone of the polish didnt change at all and it gave an entirely matte finish in one coat. it makes an amazing top coat and although it only last chip free for a few days max, i still think the finish is totally worth that extra effort.

are you a fan of matte nails? are there any other model's own colours you think i should pick up?

  1. I think I'm going to pick up that matte top coat, I've been wanting one for a while and was going to order the Elf one, but I might just give this one a go, it isn't too pricey :)

  5. I've got this matte top coat too after testing both it and the rimmel version in store and saw no difference. Saved myself a couple of pounds and am pleased with the results
