Orange Nails: Models Own - Beach Party

Hi there guys!! "Swatch" post today, I went on a trip to Boots and TK Maxx a while ago to buy some birthday presents for friends, unfortunately I didn't find anything I was interested in for them in TK Maxx so I hopped over the Boots (by the way TK Maxx sell Deborah Lippmann now o.O).
Oh man Boots is a beautiful place, I got the presents for my friends but this little polish was calling my name. I've taken Beach Party off my wishlist before, and I now I don't know why, like really what was I thinking?? I'm too in love with the colour, it's so perfect. One day I wish I could just walk around Boots and buy a crap ton of polish, but the controlled girl in me won't let that happen (as much as I want to :P).
Also by the way Boots is now selling Butter LONDON, this has been happening for a while, but this opens more possibilities for me which could be seen as a good or bad thing.

It's neon, do I even need to say more? You know I will anyway but it's orange neon. I love a good orange polish, and neons? I LOVE me a neon. The colour in real life is a hint darker but you better believe it's that bright and more. I was in a dim room and it was practically glowing, clearly this secured this polish being beyond amazing. I guess I'd describe this as a light orange neon polish (sorry it's a lame description but it's all I got) which dries to a semi-matte finish. The natural finish is showed in the pictures.

This was from the Models Own Hed Kandi collection, trust me I have no idea what Hed Kandi is and I live in the UK. I think the collection was awesome, at different points I'd have certain polishes on my wishlist. Just shame on me for waiting so long to buy this. It has convinced me that I only need 1 neon orange polish (I was thinking of getting another one, cause they're neons).

Another one of the best things about this polish is the formula, you know neons requiring their white bases (which I'm up for cause it's always worth it for me). 2 coats and NO WHITE BASE for the popping colour, 2 coats, it was a dream come true. Once again I couldn't even, seems to happen a lot.

Thanks for reading and I hope you have a great day!! :)

  2. Wow, it's rare to see a neon pop this hard without any undies--especially in just 2 coats!

  3. WOW that's one bold orange neon there! I'm thinking the 'secret' to non white base neons are milky ones. XD That way white is infused inside already! Lols! Okay that's just a theory.. anyway.. If only I don't own so many orange, this would have been perfectt!! :)

    1. I know it's so perfect!! That's a pretty legit theory, and makes sense, I concluded magic but I don't know your theory sounds more probable :P Even though I love orange I don't own that many orange polishes, clearly this jumped up my favourite list!! :)
