It's a gorgeous color in one of my favorite color families - berry/plum! It's a Limited Edition deep berry plum and I picked it because it was PRETTY! And a creme. I'm a sucker for a great creme.
Unfortunately, that's where the love stopped.
The application wasn't great and it took 3 coats for full opacity. The brush is okay, but I had a little issue with it pooling at the cuticle and then I had to be careful with the 3rd coat because of cuticle drag, which I'll admit could be because I got impatient.
If it had just been that, I could have sucked it up because it really IS gorgeous. But the smell. Not a fumey nail polish smell, a smell like they added scent to it on purpose! I don't know if all Model's Own polishes have this smell, but I'm sensitive to it and after a few hours it started to make me nauseated. I put lots of top coat on after I took the photos but it didn't help. Even my man noticed it and said something about it.
But...here are the photos anyway. Three coats and no top coat.

I really really wanted to love this brand and this polish. I'm hoping to get feedback on whether all Model's Own polishes have that scent added. If not, I will certainly give some other colors and finishes a try. If so, I guess I'm going to save a lot of money!
