And the third part of Models Own swatches is here! So here we go:

Peacock Green - shimmery greenish-blue, really teal, peacocky colour. It was opaque in three coats, which is a little shame but the colour is kinda worth it if you like teal shimmers :) It was also streaky a little bit. I'll do comparison with Illamasqua Viridian soon :)

Gun Grey - a charcoal grey with silver shimmer. Interesting version of grey...it is opaque in two coats, easy to apply but streaky. Nice for fall/winter season :)

Lili's Pink - light baby pink with fine silver glitter. It is cool toned pink and I wasn't feeling very well in it. But if the cool tones suit you and you like pink, go for it! Polish was opaque in two coats, applied nice and smoothly and didn't streak. It somehow looks a little bit like foil colour but not entirely. Have a look on the pics and see yourself...oh and don't wonder about the weird bottle, I had to put nail polish to the different one :)

Disco Mix - Disco Mix is a blue and purple glitter in clear base. I have three coats and you can see how opaque the glitter is. I compared Disco Mix with LA Girl Rockstar Overdose. They are really similar except Overdose has additionally micro silver glitter. Three coats as well.

In the previous post I told you about my visit at Illamasqua's new store in London and the new Art of Darkness collection. So today I've got for you swatches of nail polish in Viridian and Liquid Metal in Resolute I brought from this event.

Viridian - shimmery deep emerald green. It is a really beautiful shade, fully opaque in two coats and non-streaky. I had a little problem with application due to quite fast drying but it wasn't bad as with OPI suede polishes. The brush is slim but nice to work with. Right now I have polish the third day and there is no chipping at all. Bottle is usual 15 ml and costs £13.

Resolute - metallic ruby red cream. It is a multi-purpose and highly pigmented product. it can be used on eyes, cheeks, body or lips. I saw Alex Box use it as a lipstick on one of the models at the event so I tried how it will look on me. Not as good :-/  But back to the product - it is nice and creamy and not cupcakey. It can be use as  a base for eyeshadow and it is suitable for layering. I plan to buy the palette of four other liquid metals (gold, silver, bronze, pewter) because this one is really nice. Retail price is £17 per 8 ml and I think there is no chance I would use up the whole product as you need only a little.
