The Models Own collections are coming in thick and fast and after falling in love with Fireworks collection, I found myself loving the Velvet Goth collection even more. The first noticeable difference with these nail polishes is the beautiful bottles - with limited edition, colour-matched velvet caps they stand out from the rest of the Models Own polishes in my collection and gives them an instant luxe feel.
The polishes themselves are without a doubt stunning. Dark and mysterious these polishes leave a gorgeous 2D finish that's matte and sparkly at the same time. When they're first applied, they appear glossy but they dry down to a beautiful matte finish that emphasises the glitter inside of them. If you do prefer a glossy finish though you can easily add a top coat to these versatile polishes - I can't decide which finish I prefer.
As you can probably tell, I had a lot of issues photographing the polish. I tried in every lighting condition, different positions, different days - everything but nope, the photos never did the polish justice. So instead, I recommend checking out Fee's post here as her swatches are beautiful and true to colour. There's no doubting how stunning, original and perfect for autumn these bottles of joy are.
The collection boasts five different shades including: Valerian (a rich bottle blue), Sardonyx* (a blood scarlet red), Amethyst (a royal purple), Absinthe* (a burst of deep emerald green) and Obsidian* (a deep charcoal grey). Out of the three polishes I have my favourite has to be Obsidian - the most beautiful black I've ever seen that has fine glitter and bigger sequins inside of it - truly mesmerising.
The polishes retail for £5.00 each and are available now from the Models Own Bottleshop, the Models Own website from 2nd September, Boots stores from 4th September and Superdrug stores from the 25th September.
And that's the end of nail week. I hope you've enjoyed it! Do let me know which collection out of the bunch is your favourite.
