Models Own - Hayley's Comet + Pinky Brown

Woo, onto Models Own, my second favourite brand! They're just as innovative, fun, and British as Barry M, but they're in second place because I can only buy them online unless I'm willing to trek many long and windy miles... Anyway, we're starting with my two favourite polishes from Models Own's Beetlejuice Collection (cosmic), and they're both surprising. Neither of them are usually my thing but here they are, on my favourites list. 

Models Own "Hayley's Comet" is a sheer orange-to-teal duochrome.

I dribble, I really do, just looking at this. You wouldn't think orange and teal would go so harmoniously, and yet look at it! The teal is pretty bright in this picture, and usually it's a more subtle, pretty orange colour. I've worn this to an interview before and not felt too wacky. It's only shortcoming is how sheer it is, as after three coats it's still not covering my white tips. Then again, the teal really shines through over a darker colour. "Hayley's Comet" really is cosmic, and in its subtlety, it's easy to wear every day while still feeling like a space unicorn. An absolute fave of mine!

Models Own "Pinky Brown" is an orange-brown through hot pink duochrome polish.

Now this is one polish I never thought I'd love this much. Brown? Bleh! Oh but when you look more closely, it's not brown at all. The orange shift can be quite bright in some lights, and the pink is really hot. An unusual choice of colours for a space-themed collection and a weirdly specific name, "Pinky Brown" is nonetheless, one of those rare yet perfect polishes. Just like the above, it's a subtle, sensible colour from afar, but has pink aliens and nebula dancing through it just to satisfy one's inner polish diva. I really recommend this polish to anyone, any skin tone, whether a lover of subtle colours or bright. Bravo, Models Own!
