Wail: Models Own "Carat Coral"

Hey everyone!
Happy Wednesday- hope the week has been kind to you so far!

Today I have a brighter polish to show you than the last couple which I've shown. Behold, Models Own's "Carat Coral" from their Diamond Luxe collection!




It's a very red kind of coral, which isn't what I prefer- I'm more of a pinky/peachy coral girl (like this polish) but never mind! It's still a very pretty colour, and it has that little tinkling of shimmer that comes with all of the "Diamond Luxe" polishes.



I find that the little shimmer just helps my nails catch my eye more often, as it appears to help with reflecting light. The "diamond" particles appear to  be a coral-y colour too, so they blend in nicely until you look a bit closer. 



When applying then, I found this polish surprisingly thick. It was a little too thick, personally, and it appeared that it would dry quite streaky, but it evened itself out quite nicely. Due to the thickness, one coat would probably be okay, but it looks a bit better with two- which is what you've seen here today!
Drying time was also okay considering the thickness of the polish. I left it around an hour before doing things and only one nail smudged so I must've caught it pretty hard on something. So I'm pretty impressed!
Here's a few pics with the flash on just to give you a bit more of an idea of the polish.




So honestly, I think if I'd looked into the colour of this polish a bit online before I went into Superdrug that day, I wouldn't have bought this colour. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice colour, it's just not for me. But if it's your kind of colour, you can pick it up from Superdrug or ModelsOwnIt.com for £4.99 :)

Hope you enjoyed this post, have a good Thursday and I shall see you again on Friday!
