They are all cream colors and I found that most of them are a bit brighter than the bottle show. Here you have them shown in two coats, and as always I'll later show you the colors with nail art...
A quick question: I love to see swatches on your blogs. But nail art is where my heart is, so "real swatches" doesn't quite give me pleasure to do myself. But I like to do them on swatch sticks, because I focus on the color, nothing else - and I try to show them very true to color (if you screen is calibrated correctly).
So how do you feel about this kind of swatches?
Jeg købte fornylig Models Own Ice Cream Sundae box set
Det er creme lakker, og de fleste virker en smule klarerer/stærkere i farven end flasken giver indtryk af. Her har du dem i to lag, og som sædvanlig vil jeg senere vise nogle af farverne med nail art...
Og et lille hurtigt spørgsmål: Jeg elsker at se swatches på andres blogge. Men nail art er hvor mit hjerte ligger, så "rigtige swatches" giver mig ikke længere glæde at arbejde med. Men jeg kan faktisk godt li' at vise farverne på på swatchs sticks som her, fordi jeg fokuserer på farven og intet andet, jeg viser dem tæt på den rigtige farve, hvis din skærm ellers er rigtigt kalibreret.
Så hvad synes du on denne måde at præsentere farver?

I like blogs that vary a bit. I don't mind swatches, but I tend to get bored with the blogs that only show swatches. I like to see a little bit of this and that, if that makes sense :)
SvarSletThank you so much Rainbowify Me - I can see my questions was a bit unclear, so I just changed it in the above - I meant if swatches on swatch sticks are OK vs. on nails :)
SletI love those colors! They're gorgeous! I love swatches and nail art. :)
SvarSletThanks a lot Jenna - during July I'll do more swatches than normal :)
SletBeautiful colours. I like both swatches and nail art :)
SvarSletThanks a lot Katie :)
SletI like the last 2 colours :)
SvarSletThak you Beautyshades.
SletThe Fuzzy Peach is not so much me, but otherwise I like them :)
These colors look so pretty,and yummy if I may say:)) I like to see swatches,doesnt really matter if its on swatch sticks or on actual nails,as long as I can see how the color looks:)
SvarSletI'm happy to hear it, it makes it so much more fun for me to do more swatches. Thanks a lot Mimi :)
SletLovely colours, very soft, great for the summer! I like swatches. This way I can choose or select the polishes I like at home already and am I sure about how it will look like. If the swatches are on real nails or sticks doesn't matter to me.
SvarSletThank you so much for your thought on the subject Weekly nails - music to my ears LOL
SletTusind tak for din mening Christina, det er jeg glad for at høre!
SvarSletDisse var forøvrigt også mine første MO :)
Ah, what pretty colors! I so wish I had easier access to Models Own in the US.
SvarSletAs for your question, I don't mind either way. As a blogger myself, I think it is most important to do what you like. You shouldn't feel pressured to do something just because others are doing it. If you love nail art, you should concentrate on that, and swatches on sticks is totally ok! :-)
Yun
You are spot on Yun - we need to stay true to ourselves - thanks for reminding me :)
SletForgot to mention: Here in Denmark we have to order from UK, and they do ship worldwide...
Slet<3!
SletShipping to US is so expensive. Ah, why can't all polish companies be worldwide?! ;-)
peach and jaded...wow! Gorgeous polishes!
SvarSletThanks NailTalk, they sure are :)
SletI want them all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SvarSletrainbow pastel nails!
LOL - they re really nice - thanks a lot and welcome to my blog chichicho chichicho :)
Sletthey are sooo pretty and soft! makes me want ice cream now! :D
SvarSletI'm happy you like them, thanks esmeheredia :)
SletThese are beautiful! I wish they sold Models Own here!
SvarSletThank you so much Polish and Charms, they do ship to the US.
SletI wish I could get my hands on that brand, I love every swatch I see. I'm like you, I don't like actual swatching and I'd rather make art. The nail sticks are a great idea!
SvarSletI'm happy you thing so and that you like the colors, thanks KawaiiKagura :)
SletThanks for showing these. This brand is really hard to get in the US without paying an arm and a leg for over seas shipping. I am so glad you showed them on their own before you did any flower art with them.
SvarSletYes, I can see their overseas shipping is expensive, but when you live in Denmark you are used to having to pay and arm in freight from the US - and the polish is still cheaper than in our shops LOL
SletI'm happy you like them, thanks beachgal - flowers??, how could you guess ;)
*drools* those are so gorgeous! *.* I love this kind of swatches, i think the swatch sticks work great!
SvarSletStop drooling Lydz, my screen is all wet now hahahaha - thanks my friend!
Slethahah i cant stop! they are really really beautiful! :)
SletGood thing that two of them are heading your way then ;)
SletI think this kind of swatch is great! I like how you can see the bottle colour behind the swatch stick.
SvarSletThanks a lot The Lacquer Tracker, that's what I like about the too!
SletLovely colours! Want them all.. *drooool*
SvarSletOh sorry for creating more lemmings hahaha - thanks a lot mgiandzi :)
SletThis looks like a lovely collection. I don't think it matters if you do your swatches on sticks of your hands. Besides, this is your blip hun, you should go with whatever you are happiest with x :-)
SvarSletIt certainly is - and I'm happy you think so - and you are right of course CharlieDBeauty!
SletSorry about my spelling, I have to reply to my messages on my phone & as its a 'smart phone' the silly thing keeps changing the words! X :-)
SletWooo what a lovely collection!! I think it is a great idea to use the sticks! :D That way if you keep them, you will be able to whip them out at any time to remember the exact shade of a polish, compare it with other ones, etc.. :D
SvarSletThanks a lot Ashesela, I do keep them, I have them color sorted on chains, that makes it easy to ad a new stick the exact right place without removing a lot to get it in there. You can see them on the DIY page in the top menu!
Sletall these shades are soooo pretty!!!
SvarSleti think it doesn't matter, if you swatch them on your nails or just on swatch sticks. i know how time consuming it is, to swatch the colours on your nails...
your nail art is lovely and i love to see what you create, but i think swatches are interesting too. they help me decide, if i buy a polish or skip it.
Greetings from Germany, Lea :)
Thank you so much for your thought on this Lea - and I'm happy you like my nail art :)
SletThese are such pretty feminine shades, you can do so amazing things with them Im sure :)
SvarSletThank you so much hollysagemini - I hope I can ;)
SletI love Beth's Blue! It's on my wishlist but I don't think it's sold on its own anymore :-(
SvarSletAs for swatches, I liked the post because it was short and showed a brand I can get but in general I don't really like swatches, especially for brands I will never have access to, I much prefer nail art.
It's such a gorgeous color, and I just checked - you CAN buy it separately!! Thank you for your kind words, Laura!
SletBeth's Blue is a stunner!! I don't mind seeing swatches on nail tips, if i like the colour I'll be googling it anyways :)
SvarSletIt really is, so gorgeous - thank you so much ritterbraten, and you are right, I do the same!
SletI like swatch sticks :] fuzzy peach seems awesome.
SvarSletAww, I'm happy to hear it - thanks Jennius - Gold Speck Nails :)
SletThese colors are so pretty! I wish Models Own was more available where I am...
SvarSletThey sure are, thank you so much drinkcitra, they do send worldwide...
SletLovely shades! I think showing on sticks is good if you don't like doing swatches ;)
SvarSletYes, they really are - thanks for your thought zebra-nails :)
SletI like the sticks a lot, when you show the bottle just behind the stick it is probably even better than ordinary swatches because it shows if the color changes when on "the nail". I don't do swatches either, just notd:s, unfortunately minus your great nail art
SvarSlet*jealous me, noo?*
Yes, that's exactly what I like about doing it this way, thank you PolishPig - jealous YOU, nahh, don't think so ;)
SletJeg er en af dem der helst vil se swatches på neglene. Men jeg er jo udemærket klar over hvor dit hjerte ligger ;-) Så jeg bliver ikke skuffet når du kun viser dem på sticks - jeg kommer here faktisk ikke for at se swatches, det er der så mange andre blogge der viser...
SvarSletHehehe, det vidste jeg godt, men for mig en en akkurat farvegengivelse det vigtigste - og du har ret, der er nemlig så mange andre der viser swatches på negle - tak for din tanker Negle Lir :)
SletBeautiful pastels - I'd love the entire collection :)
SvarSletThank you so much Vita, they really are gorgeous colors!
