Purchased; Models Own Nail Polish

Like a lot of Beauty addicts I took advantage of the 48 hr offer on half price nail polish from Models Own last weekend - they usually retail at £5 per bottle (14mls), which is a pretty reasonable price anyway, so for £2.50, I couldn't resist. 
I picked out seven colours in the end;

 
From Left to Right; Fuzzy Peach, Utopia, Purple Grey, Lemon Meringue, Nude Beige, Beth's Blue and 
Red n Black 

The colours I chose are all cream finishes, as they are my current personal favourite type of polish. They do also sell pearl, glitter and neon finishes - there are 77 shades to currently choose from. They also have a long standing offer - if you buy three, you get £3 off, and if you buy 5, you get £7 off. I paid £17.50 for this lot, and P&P was free. I did have one slight problem with no confirmation email arriving in my inbox, however I contated them on twitter and they checked that the order had been processed and sent etc, so it was easily sorted out. 
So far I have tried out a couple of the polishes Utopia, and Purple Grey...
Above - Utopia
 
Above - Purple Grey. 
I really like both of these shades, love the cream finish, and I have found they last well on too - I wore Utopia for three days with no chipping. Looking forward to trying the rest out too... Lemon Meringue will be the most hit or miss I think, but I wanted to try a fresh pastel colour for the springtime... I think these polishes are "big three free" as well, but couldn't access the ingredients page on the site. I found most of the swatches on the site reliable as well. 
Two coats achieves really good coverage, and they dry pretty fast too.
Verdict - Good quality polishes, reasonable price and a nice range of colours - whats not to like?

Models Own polishes are available HERE.

I'm not a beauty addict *cough cough* Ok maybe a little! Great polishes you chose, I was going to pick up Lemon Meringue but for some reason didn't. It's a beautiful pastel yellow shade

You chose some nice shades! I ordered some too, but haven't tried any yet (story of my life) xx

With a name like Red n Black, I'm interested to see if it is, indeed, red and black.

Lovely selection. I trialled some of their neon shades a while back, and they were great quality, but I much prefer the colours you chose here. Roll on the next offer.
