I've always been a big fan of Models Own nail polishes, their stand always seems to catch my eye when im on the hunt for a new nail polish. Their stand is fully of eye-catching girlyness -pastel shades ,neons ,and a truck load of glitter and sparkle-whats not to love. For the summer months i love rocking pastel nails and this collection really caught my eye .

These come in a range of 5 pastel shades along with a different fruity scent to match the shade. Unfortunately for me i was only able to get my greedy little paws on 3 of the shades for you as the rest had sold out boooooo!!!!
Banana Split is a light creamy lemon colour . I haven't seen many shades like this on the high street so i couldn't wait to try it out. Unfortunately the formula was quite disappointing , on first coat the application was streaky and uneven and it took a good 3-4 coats to get an even coat. It has a light banana scent.
Strawberry Tart is a light milky pink shade. Its one of my favorite shades i own as i have nothing like it in my collection. The formula was slightly better but again it took around 3 coats to get an even application. The scent is lovely and smells like strawberry sweets :)
Blueberry Muffin is a light sky blue .The formula was similar to strawberry split and took around 3 coats for an even coat. The scent is a light blueberry fragrance but i wouldn't say it smells like blueberry muffins.
The 2 shades that i'm missing are called Grape Juice - a lovely light lilac ,and Apple Pie - a light mint green shade.
Even though the formula has issues i still really love this collection as the colours are so pretty and there's not many like this on the high street . The scent is a bit of a gimmick i grant you but its a bit of fun. Although i did notice that once a top coat is applied you can no longer smell the scent ,so i would recommend using a good base coat to ensure your nails last longer.
Models Own Fruit Pastel Collection is available from many online retailers as-well as the model own website.
In the UK they are also available in Boots and have recently launched in Superdrug stores.
