More Models Own
'The Sticky Fingers Collection' by Models Own is a selection of seven polishes beautifully packaged containing a sheet of novelty stickers. As soon as I laid eyes on this vibrant display I knew I had to try them out.
There's a variety of sticker designs including, 'Sweet Candy' (mini lollipops, gingerbread men), 'Pastel Petals' (dinky vintage-esque flowers), 'Bows' (mentioned by the sales assistant to be the perfect embellishment for a french manicure) 'Pow Nails (comic influenced) and 'Drops and Blobs' (the one that I bought!).
I have to say I was slightly disappointed with the results. I've never been a massive fan of white nail varnish, because I often find you have to apply about four coats before the colour becomes vibrant. I'm not the most patient person in the world! so waiting in anticipation for the layers to dry was torture whilst wondering what the stickers would look like. Once I had applied the stickers, I loved the way my nails looked initially, however some started to curl. I applied a clear top coat thinking this may seal the stickers but it only seemed to make it worse.
Having said all this, I'm not sure if these negative results were just due to a bad application on my part. So, I plan to buy the 'Sweet Candy' stickers and try all over again with a different polish, perhaps a pale pink. This time I'm going to apply the stickers with tweezers so I can delicately place the designs on my nails instead of heavy-handedly with my fingers. Stay tuned for the second attempt!
