Models Own Mushroom - Swatches and Review

Good morning! Today I have an old standby for you. Models Own Mushroom. There are so many new collections for Fall coming out right now as well as wonderful indie polishes that it seems I've been overlooking some of the staples lately. I consider this one a staple. It's not flashy or blingy and it doesn't have a catchy name. But it's certainly worth a look.

Mushroom is just that...a great mushroom creme. It's a nice medium-to-dark greyed out taupe with slight purple undertones. Application was perfection - "like butta." Two coats for full opacity. It dries to a shiny finish - shown in the photos with no top coat. Of course, to keep that shine going I applied a coat of Poshe later.

What do you think of this one? I think it's a great "palate-cleanser" after a glitterbomb. Or just a chic, classic, go-anywhere color. I am so glad I gave Models Own another shot. I'd first tried the Models Own Pro line, which was scented and caused nausea and headaches. It took me a while to try their regular line and thankfully, it's not scented. It just smells like nail polish.

Models Own polishes are available on their UK website, Ninja Polish,  Harlow & Company and a few other US e-tailers and retail for around $8.00 here in the US.
