Allo, polish Pals!
Hows your weekend shaping up? I'm not
up to much this weekend apart from seeing my niece and just taking it
easy. Have you got any grand plans going on? Today I am reviewing and
showing you Model's Own's 'Hot Stuff'.
 |
| Hot Stuff ~ A party in a bottle. |
 |
| A tough Love/hate relationship. Read on to find out why! |
Hot Stuff was released as part of the
Mirror
ball collection. After looking at swatches online I just
had to try it out for myself. Hot Stuff contains large glitter pieces
although they vary in size in a clear base. The larger pieces are
holographic and contain diamond like shapes. To describe the colour
of the pieces I would have to say think spectrum. You get a whole lot
of different shades popping through depending on the angle and
lighting your looking at it in.
Although I love how Hot Stuff looks I
do have a few peeves that leave me wondering if it was really a great
purchase option for me. You know I just despise
scratchy bumpy feeling polish and sadly Hot Stuff left my nail
feeling so rough. I actually scratched my face while wearing it which
didn't feel like a fun time! Another thing is.. It smells
funky.. I obviously have my fair share of getting polish
wiffs but this is unusual.. It almost doesn't smell like polish at
all but whatever the smell is it isn't pleasant in the slightest and
gave me a bit of a headache.
It goes on easily and quite smooth but
I did have to 'fish' a little to get those diamond pieces out despite
there being so many of them in the bottle.
My overall thoughts? I personally would
not buy this again having tried it. Don't get me wrong, its beautiful
on and I know it will look gorgeous when paired with many colours but
the smell and texture just don't hit my polish wish list. Perhaps I'm just a little too picky when it comes to glitter!
What do you think? Have you ever had funky smelling polish before, if so did you find it off putting to use? Does Hot Stuff look like a glitter your collection could use?
I'm going to have some nail art for you
to see soon. Its been a bit over the top with all the Models Own
swatches, right?
Enjoy your Saturday!
Love
Ithi

I'm so looking forward to trying this but not looking forward to the smell after reading your post. Glad you are having a chilled weekend, you deserve it after your recent worries with your dad being so poorly xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Louise. If you can over come the smell I think you'll love it! :)
DeleteHi Ithfifi, Great review! I'm still a little intimidated when it comes to glitter as complex as this one (multiple shapes and colours). So I've been hesitating to buy some regular glitter just to start, so this is far too sophisticated for me (now)!
ReplyDeleteI had some "smelly" issue going on with a Revlon that was supposedly scented and was meant to smell good. Couldn't stand it.
keep enjoying your weekend!

Thanks Natalia :) Thats good, your getting used to the glitters yay! Take it slow, I have to admit Hot stuff is really quite a 'in your face' kind of polish! Oh dear, I dont mind the smell of normal polish, I'd rather have that then havea company trying to hard to make it smell good and then it doesn't! Lets face it, its not like we're going to sniff it like perfume anyway! xx
Deletei really love the colors of this glitter!
ReplyDeletethis is PRETTYYY! do you have gelous? i use it to smooth out bumpy glitters and it works every time (:
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of this.. It sounds like a life saving miracle too good to be true! I'm going to have to google this up right a way! :)
