Last weekend Models Own released a new batch of 'HyperGel' varnishes which are a gel effect product with no need for the UV light to 'set' it, so I thought it would be fun to test it against a similar product by George (ASDA). I've had to wait to post this until they started to show signs of wear and chips so I've not been able to do any new designs in between (grr!).
Models Own: HyperGel
Price: £5
Shade: SG006 Lilac Sheen
Consistency: ★★★★☆
Drying Time: ★★★☆☆
Durability: ★★★★☆
Very pleasantly surprised with this varnish. It's nice and thick, paints on easily and dries in a fairly average time. Needing only two coats is great and the finish is super shiny and smooth so there's no need for a top coat. The only negative for me really is the awful smell. Anyone that's used 'ColourB4' and smells this will know what I mean. After a few hand washes though it's not noticeable any more, so only a tiny niggle!
George: GelPro
Price: £3
Shade: 04 Nude Beige
Consistency: ★★☆☆☆
Drying Time: ★★★☆☆
Durability: ★★★★☆
Beautiful nude colour with a very subtle golden sheen in the light. Sadly it's very thin! Even with three coats I'd still be tempted to add one more as it still looks a little see through. Drying time was average to slow but it made up for it by lasting almost as well as the Models Own and again, not needing a top coat. I think it may have been a slightly more fair test if I had have picked a darker colour but I love my beiges and went for one that I know I will use over and over.
As I was keeping them on until they began to chip I added a few little accents to the nails to 'pretty them up' a bit. Day one is shown above but day 3 and 5 are below. They've both lasted really well and I'm very happy with them though I do feel that the Models own polish is better slightly quality.
Day 3 - Still intact!
Day 5 - Oh no chips!
This is good in a way because it means I can scrub them off now and paint something new, yey!
Oh! And they scrub off just as easily as any other nail polish.
