As a
Christmas gift from my sister, I received a bottle of Model’s Own Disco Inferno
Nail Polish. Due to having my favourite colours that I wear all of the time, it
has taken me ages to get around to trying this one. This particular nail polish
is the first in Model’s Own’s line of nail frostings. It can be purchased
online currently for £5. Model’s Own do generally always have some kind of
offer online though.
The nail
polish comes in the usual Models Own nail polish bottle, which is round and
made from glass. The bottle is clear with the Models Own logo on the front in
white text while on the back is the company address and website information. On
the bottom of the bottle you can find the name of the nail polish. The lid is
white which matches the text on the front of the bottle. The bottles are very
plain but it does make it possible to see the colour inside and it will match
any other Models Own nail polishes that you may have.
This is not
quite the same as a glitter nail polish but looks that way in the bottle. When
looking inside the bottle before opening, this product looks like it is full of
tiny pieces of metallic paper and gold leaf. The mixture of colours looks nice
with golds, greens, reds and blues mixed in with each other. However, once you
open the bottle and pull out the brush, it quickly becomes clear that this is
not how the polish will look once on your nails. The brush comes out with
barely any product on it, apart from clear nail polish.
After the
first application, I was already disappointed. My nails barely had any of the
colour on them. Mostly, they looked like they had clear polish on with one or
two tiny bits of the metallic finish. After two coats, I was even less
impressed. With two coats, my nails still were not covered and they looked
extremely cheap and tacky. Think cheap Christmas decorations from a pound shop
but worse. The Model’s Own website state that you can use this on its own or on
top of another colour and I really wish I had used another colour underneath
but didn’t have anything that would match to hand. I would strongly advise not
to use this on its own as it doesn’t give the desired effect.
I did leave
this to try before taking it off and it was a complete nightmare. The small
pieces of metallic paper stuck to my nails like glue and I had a really hard
time to get them all off. Not only does this nail polish look terrible but once
you decide you don’t like it, it is so hard to remove which is definitely not a
good thing. Unfortunately, I won’t be using this again.
