Models Own Smash-Up Silver crackling polish...swatches & review

Hi there! I got my first silver crackling polish! I went to Boots and big surprise - they had Models Own Silver crackling polish! I picked up one and here are some swatches.

I don't have the OPI Silver Shatter yet but from swatches on other blogs I can tell you that they are very different. Models Own is less shimmery, more grey/silver and is really pigmented. It also crackles less than OPI Silver Shatter.

Models Own Smash-Up Silver starts to crackle straight after application so be quick and colour the part of the nail only once! It dries reasonably fast. The bottle has 14ml and full price is £6. I paid less as I've used Boots offer 3 for 2. I will definitely buy OPI Silver Shatter as I think it's prettier but this one is quite interesting as well.

Ten je krásnej!! Mně se snad líbí víc než OPI! Ale OPI jsem si koupila včera a Models Own nemám kde koupit, takže se budu muset spokojit jen s ním :-)
