Models Own - the pink army

Dear Lacqueristas,

Are you ready for a bunch of Model's Own swatches? Sit back and enjoy.


Tickled Pink



Tickled Pink: a medium cool pink with tons of silver shimmer. The finish is very similar to OPI suede's but without the matte finish.

Lili's Pink

Lili's Pink

Lili's Pink is similar to Tickled Pink, finish wise. But the base color is a softer pink. Weird finish, me like a lot!

Raspberry Crush

Raspberry Crush is a super flattering blue toned saturated pink/red. Vibrant, almost neon-ish. Creme finish.

Pink Sorbet

Pink Sorbet is also a weirdo. A hot, hot pink, almost neon. Super heavy on the shimmer, pearly almost (but not quite) leaning frosty. Hmmm... yeah. I bet it looks extra good on the toes in summer.

Pastel Pink

Pastel Pink

Pastel Pink. What's in a name, right? Stark white based pink. I love colors like these but that doesn't necessarily mean I can pull it off. I don't really care though, I wear what I want :-p and just imagine I have beautiful hands without lobster tendency.

Pink Blush

Pink Blush: Barbie pink creme. Love it.

Buff Pink

Buff Pink is a sheer but buildable shade. Cream/pink colored and falls in my beloved Palate Cleanser catogory.
The only other pink Model's Own that I didn't yet post is Pink Explosion. That polish is so crazily glittery and fierce that artificial or normal day light just don't do it right. Only the sun brings out it's true beauty so I won't post pictures untill the sun peeks through :-)

Do you like pink nail polish? And what's your favorite Models Own?

I missed out on these...

Dear Lacqueristas,

My NOTD is a bit sad. Can you tell what it is?

OPI Ink Suede

Did you guess it was a suede? I bet you did. I never thought I would like this finish by swatches I've seen. Untill I was finally able to get hold of a bottle myself, just to try. I LOVED it! OPI's suede polishes are matte but contain tons of shimmer.
The sad part is... OPI discontinued their suedes.... So far I own Ink suede and Here Today, Aragon Tomorrow suede. I'd love to own all of them.

Do you like suedes, and which ones do you like best? And, even more important, do you know if they are still sold online somewhere?

Hasta la vista, Laqueristas!

OPI Here Today... Aragon Tomorrow Suede

Dear Lacqueristas,

Today I tried my first ever Suede... Meet OPI's Here Today... Aragon Tomorrow:

No topcoat, overcast

Personally I am not wowed by this finish. I think it looks dull and muted. Because look how pretty this polish is when you add some ultra shiny topcoat (I used Chanel's but I'm sure you can use any topcoat)

With topcoat, overcast

See how all the pretty shimmer comes alive? It gives this polish dept and makes it appear more vibrant. I wish it was more like the original HTAT though... more blackened. I even thought it might compare to China Glaze's Emerald Sparkle but I should have know that that's incomparable:

Emerald Sparkle is in a league on it's own

Do you have suede's and do you like their matte finish or do you rather put a topcaot? And what's you favourite suede?

Hasta la vista, Laqueristas!
