Nail Of The Day

The last few days it seems as if the Great British Summer is finally upon us and so I wanted to paint my nails a light summery colour.

I decided on using Rimmel Pro French Ivory, which is actually intended to be the tip colour for a French manicure look but looks really cute as an egg shell/pink. Then I put a coat of Models Own Ibiza Mix on top which I think works really well.

Call me cray cray but this colour combo seems very bridal to me - probs not what a bride would wear on her big day but something about the Ivory tones and the glitter reminds me of wedding dresses and champagne bubbles!

Models Own - hedkandi - Ibiza Mix

Models Own recently teamed up with hedkandi to create a range of party nail polishes. I know I'm a little late to this collaboration but it took me so long to find it - seriously it was sold out in Boots for weeks! 

My favourite colour is the Ibiza Mix which is a clear paint with a mix of different coloured glittered hexagons. They're quite pastel-y in colour which makes this nail polish stand out from many of the other glitter polishes available.

I first tried it over Revlon's Sunshine Sparkle, it came out less glittery than I had expected and so painted about 3 coats haha.

About a week later I tried it over Barry M's Mint Green which looked much better, plus I only did one coat as I think less is maybe more with this polish.

It cost £5 which I do think is a little pricey but because I love it so much I think it's worth it! The polish stayed on a long time and I wouldn't have needed to change it had it not been for the actual colour polish underneath chipping. 

The only slight criticism I have is that it seems to get used up quickly, to achieve a thicker glitter coat it uses up a lot of the polish.

But all in all, this is my new favourite nail polish by an easy mile, I received lots of compliments whilst wearing  Ibiza Mix!

Do you have Ibiza Mix? What colours do you try it with?
