NOTD: Utopia & Brit Pop

models own utopia & angelica brit pop (available from primark & online)


Today I have a NOTD that I have been sporting a lot recently for when I want something a bit different and looks nice and is also easy to do. Models Own Utopia is a grey-purple-off-white nude which is so pretty. I have a NOTD where I am just wearing it on its own. You have probably seen it raved about on various blogs including Lily's blog LLYMLRS which is where I originally saw it first and immediately fell in love with it. To jazz it up a bit, I have applied the Angelica Brit Pop nail polish over the top. Brit Pop is a clear nail varnish with holographic pieces of glitter in a varitey of colours (red, blue, gold etc) suspended in it, which looks so pretty over Utopia. Brit Pop goes on so smoothly and nicely and with just one coat creates a good amount of opaqueness (?). I have applied 2 coats here, purely out of habit. As with all glitter polish, Brit Pop is an absolute nightmare to get off and I end up scrubbing at my nails, which probably isn't best for them, but I can't get it off with nail polish remover as it just doesn't budge! Angelica is available from Primark and also online and is only £2.75 which is amazing for the quality, and also the range of colours!

Thanks for reading!

What have you been wearing on your nails recently?

notd // models own utopia

Hey guys!

Thank goodness it's friday, this week has gone so slowly for me but it still feels as though the months are flying by! I know i might be a bit late to say this, but i cannot believe it is may already! where is the year going, seriously?! anyway, today is a nail of the day/review of my new favourite nail polish!


Yes, it's models own utopia, raved about on llymlrs' blog, which is why i went to get it! i featured it in a recent haul, and since then i have been loving wearing it! it is a cross between an off white nude and a pastel lilac, it's so gorgeous! As with the majority of the other models own polishes, the formula is lovely and thick and completely opaque with 2 coats! this doesn't need a top coat, but out of routine and habit i did! i don't have many nude colours in my nail polish collection, but i really like the way it looks on my nails and especially with a tan i think it will look really nice! i'm thinking of getting some more nudes, do you have any suggestions, maybe essie fiji?

Thanks for reading, hope you all have a good weekend!
