Monday Mani | 'Obsidian' by Models Own

Hi guys!
So, first things first, I'M BACK TO STUBS /wipes tear while violin plays in the background/ but honestly like it was time to start over, I'd gotten a bit bored n I actually always restart growing my nails in time for the new year. Cutting my nails to stubs really signifies something new to me. It makes me feel really fresh n cleansed, like beginning a new chapter. I don't know, it sounds dumb but it's true. 

I decided to do something special this week because it's the new year so I went with 'Obsidian' by Models Own from their Goth collection. 
Honestly, prior to using this polish, I had no idea this brand was vegan but hey it is! This shade is a gorgeous grey colour with specks of different sized silver glitter. 

I was a bit wary at first cos I didn't know if the formula would be thick enough for me to get away without a base colour but after two layers I'm happy to report that it dries completely opaque. I would say it's a matte shimmer finish which I was okay with but as much as I love matte nails on other people, I don't think they suit me much so I put a topcoat on them n I love the result! 

I got this shade in my monthly Birchbox but it retails for £5, which I think is a pretty fair price. 

All in all, it's a gorgeous, unique colour but I'm definitely not looking forward to the removal part...

I hope you guys enjoyed this review!
