I was very excited to get three Models Own HyperGels in the post to try out. I was even more excited that the three that I got were my favourites of the 10 colours available! I got Cerise Shine, Blue Glint and Red Lustre. My original plan was to swatch them all, but I was having nail art withdrawals so decided for something in between.

The HyperGel polish is amazing! Normally I use at least two coats of polish, but I have only used one here. The coverage is so even and opaque you just don't need anything more. And look how gorgeously shiny it is. I was very pleased with the drying time, I was expecting it to take quite a while as it's gel effect, but it was dry surprisingly quickly ready for my nail art.
As you can see I have used Cerise Shine on three fingers and Blue Glint as a background for my accent nails on my finger finger and thumb. Simply using the normal polish brush I dabbed on three Cerise Shine splodges and waited for those to dry. To add petals to my roses I used Red Lustre for shade (you can just about see it in the picture). I also needed a highlight so I chose to use Strawberry Tart from the Fruit Pastels collection. To create the petals I used a really small nail art brush and painted on two 'c' shapes in slightly different sizes and ant different angles. I started off with the shade and then went in again in the same way with the highlight. Then to finish my roses off all they needed were some little leaves. I used Apple Tart, again from the Fruit Pastel collection. So not only do my nails shine like I have had gels, but they smell yummy too!
I am really pleased with this design. I think it's simple enough that you can still see the beauty of the HyperGel polishes but it's also really pretty and girly.
I am loving seeing what everyone has bought in the Models Own sale recently over on Twitter! Glad to see I am not the only polish addict around - leave me your links so I can see what you got!
