Models Own Orange Sorbet

I don't own very many Models Own nail polishes, but I was lucky enough to snag a few from a blog sale earlier this year from Raych over at Polished Criminails. This is one of the ones I snagged.

Models Own Orange Sorbet is a gorgeous bright orange. It looks a little more neon in this picture than it is in real life, but it's definitely a head turner. Traffic cone orange. Are traffic cones orange in countries other than the US?

I know my nails are super short here, but this is about how short they are now. Although now I have them rounded because I love the way those look, but I can't seem to figure out how to make it look right on me ....

Formula was pretty good. This is three coats to get it even. You know how bright colors tend to be. I didn't use "underwear" for this color (ie neutral or white to make it brighter or to achieve no visible nail line quicker).

These did have a very ... strong smell to them. Moreso than the usual nail polish scent. Just thought I'd mention it...

I love this bright color. It makes me happy and think of summer! And drivers education class with the parallel parking orange traffic cones... =)
