Models Own Purple Smash Up

 Models Own have finally released more colours in their Smash Up Collection. There are now five colours to choose from, so I picked up the Purple Smash Up.


I wasn't sure which base colour to use, but decided on Barry M Berry Ice Cream in two coats.


The great thing about crackle polishes, is that you can create your own look depending on how you apply the polish. I applied a thin layer to each nail, so the cracks are quite small, but I love the effect.

I now have six different crackle polishes in an array of colours, but I think the purple will be my most used out of them all.


I tested out the polish on a few other shades to see how they would look too.


 I think the polish looks great over the yellow and green. 


What do you think?

Have you picked up any of the new Smash Up polishes?

You can buy them online here or pick them up from your local Boots store for £6.

Looks good, they crack a lot different than the other crackles out there, I have all of the basic colors of China Glaze Crackle and one OPI Shatter in Silver, at least I wanna get one Kleancolor Crackle.

Oh I like their different kind of crackle, but being almost double the price of a Barry M one, i'm not too sure if I'll be buying them too xo

Charlotte - The pink is Barry M Strawberry Ice Cream in case you wondered! :)

Jossie - I agree, I have a few different brands now and they all crackle different!

Melody of Beauty - I was surprised the yellow worked so well actually.

Bon Vivant Clique - I have the silver too! They also do an orange which I might try.

Jenna - I totally agree, Barry M is a lot more affordable for people on a budget.

Looks gorgeous! Aqua and purple is my fave colour combo, so I'm loving that pairing.
