Hello lovelies,

Today I want to show you another set of polishes from All That Jazz brand. Indulge Me collection has been released towards the end of last year right in time for the holiday and NYE parties.

About: "Relish in riches with this latest treasure-trove-inspired collection from All That Jazz. From the jewel inspired emerald and ruby, to the glittering metallics of gold and bronze, feel luxuriously spoiled by these 4 new tempting shades and adorn your talons with the opulence they deserve!"

Let's have a look at the four beauties:

Living In Luxury - Cool-toned bronze shade with foil finish. Living In Luxury is elegant pale bronze that I found really flattering. It looks quite understated and will be office friendly yet interesting. I've applied two coats for perfect coverage. The polish is we'll pigmented and it applied easily leaving no brush strokes.

Fit For Royals - pale gold with light coppery flakes and foil finish. This is undisputedly the most festive shade of all four for me and it fits perfectly with any Christmas or New Year's manicure. I'm wearing two coats which were fully opaque. The polish dried fast and with no brush strokes.

Adorned In Rubies - raspberry red foil with burnt orange flakes. This is a beautiful and rich colour which I can closest describe as raspberry shade. The fact that is has burnt orange flakes in it makes it a bit more interesting and it adds more depth. The formula was just perfect. Opaque in two coats, flawless application and no brush strokes. Adorned In Rubies is identical match to Gelish A Sunrise In The City.

Opportunity Knocks - mermaid blue foil with green flakes. This will be a perfect colour for summer and it reminds me of mermaids of course and of tropical seas. The colour is very vivid and sparkly and looks gorgeous. Two coats were fully opaque and again I had no problem with brush strokes. It applied well and dried fast but it can stain nails a bit so double up on base coat. Opportunity Knocks is identical match to Gelish Oocha Coocha.

All four shades had the same formula which was opaque in two coats and applied easily. They also dried fast without leaving visible brush strokes. I love each and every shade for different reasons so I really have no favourite in this case. I think this collection came out beautifully and if you love shiny foil finish polishes then you shouldn't skip on these.

All That Jazz Indulge Me Collection is available at All That Jazz UK website and at Nail Harmony UK website. I have previously swatched Spotlight Affair collection full of sultry creme shades, you can see it HERE.

Have a lovely day! Lucie x

Hello lovelies,

I'm sure you've spotted the new Models Own collection called Colour Chrome by now and I have half of it to show you! The whole collection consists of 10 metallic colours that can be worn by themselves or used for stamping (yes, they work great!). They have highly reflective metallic foil finish, stunning shiny bottles and they come with wider brush.

Swatching these was a bit of a challenge for me because I have ridges and imperfections in nails due to some health problems and these polishes show every single flaw. You're meant to use them without topcoat (bye bye ridge filling topcoat) and then 2-3 coats of polish. I must say even after light buffing my nails had many flaws so please excuse the imperfections and patched up pointer finger ;)

Chrome Silver - bright silver metallic. This was the first shade I've swatched and I haven't buffed my nails at all so as you can see this polish highlights all ridges. I have applied three coats just to try and hide the imperfections but it didn't help much. The polish itself was fully opaque in two coats and applied well. I've applied topcoat as well.

Chrome Green - cool pastel green metallic. I've applied two coats of polish, no base coat and sealed with topcoat. This is the last swatched polish with unbuffed nails.

Chrome Gold - pale gold metallic. Stunning pale gold which I think will suit almost everyone and it will transform your nails into luxuriously looking manicure. Tw coats were fully opaque and I've applied topcoat as well. Nails lightly buffed.

Chrome Pink - pastel pink metallic. This is the girliest colour from this collection I have and it leans a bit into lavender shades. I've applied two coats and topcoat. Nails lightly buffed.

Chrome Blue - light blue metallic. I'm not too keen on this shade because I think it flatters me but otherwise it applied well and was opaque in two coats. Nails lightly buffed.

I've got mixed feelings about this collection - on one hand I absolutely love the shiny metallic finish and the bottles but I absolutely hate how it shows the imperfections on my nails. I have read a tip in some nail group to apply it over another nail polish the next day, giving it smooth surface. That way you might get flawless finish and I will be trying that for sure.

The formula of all shades was the same - they applied well, the polish isn't thick but it does dry fast so work fast to avoid dragging colour and creating patches. All metallic polishes including these ones are somewhat streaky so pay attention to the brush strokes when applying the last coat of colour. Topcoat will not hide the streaks!

Also the big question about stamping with these beauties - I have tried it and I'm pleased to say THEY STAMP GREAT! I will be purchasing few more colours for sure and do some stamped manicures for sure.

Models Own Colour Chrome collection  will be available from 29th January 2015 on modelsownit.com and they will also be available from Models Own Bottle Shops from 31st January, and Superdrug stores from 11th of February for £4.99 each. BUT on 29th January Models Own website will hold a 50% sale and limited quantity of this collection will be available so you could get these polishes for as little as £2.50! I know I will...

Have a lovely day! Lucie x
