Hello lovelies,

Have you seen the new Models Own HyperGel Polishes yet? They are perfect for Autumn and Winter season and all have slightly jelly-ish formula!

Following the success of Models Own HyperGel, their first gel effect colour collection - MO are now releasing new in-demand autumnal updates. Five brand new shades that are super glossy with a gel effect, delivering extra rich colour. The new mega-shine shades are highly pigmented, long-lasting and chip resistant. The gel-like finish gives the professional shine of a salon manicure, is enriched with lotus flower oil and is easily removed with nail polish remover.

Ebony Green - dark forest green shade. I had to try this shade first because there's just something about green jellies that fascinates me. Ebony Green doesn't have completely jelly formula but there certainly is a hint of it and it makes the polish looks squishy and glossy. I've applied two regular to thicker coats and they applied very nicely. No patching, no streaks and no topcoat! This polish can be a bit lighter in places if you apply thin coats so you might need three coats in some cases.

Brunette Red - dark maroon red shade. Brunette Red very much says it all - this is not just plain classic red, it has brown undertones and squishy finish. I'm wearing two coats and no topcoat again. The finish is smooth and glossy and it was very easy to apply.

Raven Red - dark brown shade. This is clearly a dark brown so the name Raven Red confuses me a bit. The brown is very dark, almost blackened but you can still tell it's not black. It applied nicely and two coats were fully opaque. It also dried quite fast and glossy. No topcoat.

Pitch Purple - dark ink purple shade. Ooooh, this one is gorgeous! It's a mix between ink blue and grape purple, it's very rich and pretty. I'm wearing two coats again with no topcoat. Application was easy and it dried fast.

Inky Blue - dark blue shade. Beautiful ink/sailor blue that will be so awesome for winter! Inky Blue is not exactly unique shade but I love the glossy and smooth finish and it also has that jelly-ish look. It's fully opaque in two coats and application was easy. I am not wearing topcoat.

I really like the autumn additions to the HyperGel Line. Some of them could be a bit lighter but some of them are perfect. My absolute favourites are Ebony Green and Pitch Purple. They all had pretty much the same formula hat applied easily, was opaque in two coats and had that jelly-ish squishiness to it. All were very glossy even without topcoat but do apply topcoat if you want to wear them for more than a day.

I have purchased some of the original HyperGel polishes but I didn't like them as much as these new releases. I've shown some original colours in this post.

You could get these new HyperGel shades at Models Own website and at Models Own Bottle shops since 31st October.

Have a nice weekend and stay polished! Lucie x

Hello lovelies,

I still owe you the second half of Zoya's Fall collection - Ignite. I've already reviewed the Entice collection here. The Ignite collection is full of deep shades with shiny metallic particles.

"Inspired by the classic wools, textured brocades and metallic accents of the season, Zoya's new  ENTICE & IGNITE collections create a palette of lush, deep color including wines, browns, navies and treys."

Yuna - dark grey base with green undertones and metallic copper particles. Yuna is very interesting and very chic colour and it definitely goes with almost everything. I can imagine wearing this shade with black, green and blue clothes but also with white and denim. Great shade! I'm wearing two thin coat without topcoat.

Remy - dark blue leaning towards teal with gold flecks. Remy is like a dark mermaid-y colours, reminds me of Zoya Charla, only darker. I'm wearing two coats and no topcoat. Unfortunately I must say that Remy stains a little bit so double up on base coat!

Sansa - eggplant purple with gold particles. The base colour is very deep but the amount of gold particles lighten it up so it doesn't look too dark. I think Sansa is more suited for the winter season. Two thin coats were nicely opaque!

India - deep maroon red with gold metallic particles. India is gorgeous warm autumn shade that is a good alternative for red-lovers for the A/W season. I'm wearing two coats without topcoat.

Teigen - medium berry base full of metallic gold particles. Teigen is lighter than the other polishes in this collection and I don't think I have a dupe for it. All I needed were two regular coats for the coverage you see in the pictures.

Autumn - rusty copper base full of gold particles. Autumn looks the shiniest and the most metallic to me from the whole collection. I'm wearing two thicker coats and no topcoat.

I absolutely adore all the Ignite collection colours! I've always been a big fan of shimmers, metallics and other interesting finishes and Ignite is just spot on. At first I thought that India and Teigen are going to be the same because they look so similar in the bottles. But once I started applying them it was clear to me that they are very different.

All polishes had almost the same formula. They applied very easily and were opaque in two coats. Drying time was fast and they dried smooth. I would sill recommend wearing topcoat to extend the life of your manicure but my pictures show how the polishes look without topcoat.

This collection is available now directly from Zoya.com for $9 USD each, or $54 for the whole collection or at at The Nail & Beauty Link (UK) and at Nail Polish Direct (UK).
