Review: Models Own Fruit Pastel Collection

This collection was bought as a present to myself for finishing my dissertation.

The polishes retail at £5 each but from the Models Own website you can get the whole collection for £20, making a saving of £5 and I also received a cute mini 4 in 1 nail file and buffer so you definitely get your moneys worth!

I was really pleased with the packaging, they came in a branded box and were then all individually wrapped. 

These are my first pastels and first whole collection that I've ever purchased. 

NOTD: Cartoon Nails

So today I tried to create nails that look like they should be on a cartoon.

 I learnt that my hands are not as steady as I thought! 

These are definitely not my best and the matte top coat also turned the white into a yellow, maybe it's because it's a cheap top coat. I think next time I might try and outline using a pen rather than a brush, I would imagine it would keep my lines neater.

I would definitely not class myself as a pro by all means, and I am not happy with these nails at all. But I think it's important to show the bad and the ugly, as well as the good! 

They look pretty good from a distance though, as in, they really do look like cartoon nails! 

Just make sure you don't get close enough to see those hideous lines! 

This is what I used: 

Have you ever tried the cartoon nails? Did you have the same problem with the matte top coat?
