Review Week, Day 4: Models Own Microdots and Hypergel Topcoat Swatches

Hey everyone! We're almost at the end of review week, and today I have another Models Own review for you. This time I've reviewing the new Microdots* nail polish, and their brand new Hypergel Topcoat*. Ever since I saw Microdots I've been so excited to try it, and when it finally popped through my door I was super happy, and it doesn't disappoint. Although I was slightly miffed to find out that they're not dots, but hex glitters! Nevertheless, it's still an interesting and unique polish.


Shown here is Graffiti Nails - Ice White, with a layer of Microdots*, and a layer of Hypergel Topcoat*. For Microdots I only needed 1 coat, but I did need to do some placement. With the topcoat, as you can see, there was a lot of bubbling. I don't know if this was an issue with Microdots and the topcoat mixing badly because I've seen other reviews of Hypergel without the bubbles, but for me it was too much of an issue to ignore. However, whilst I'm not a massive fan of the topcoat, I do love the microdots, and if you're looking for a new and unique glitter topper, this is it. 



What do you think? Let me know in the comments below!

  1. This works so well against a white polish, they should create some more, dots, flowers, hearts x

  3. The microdots work really well with this white base! They are so cute and the colours work so well together! It's a shame the hypergel topcoat didn't work that well!

  5. I had the same problem with bubbling my first two times using the top coat but on the third go, there was none at all. I think it's a case of practice but I want to keep trying it to see whether it's a real problem or not.

  6. Thank you for reviewing the microdots as I was about to buy it. I was expecting the dots to be denser and more dotty rather hexagonal too. Thats a little bit disappointing. I will still buy it though as I haven't seen any other like it. x

  9. This is a very pretty top coat. I like the combination of white base color and this top coat. I find it unique but classy.

  10. I have to say I'm not a big fan of the microdot polish. I really thought I would love it but it's just not for me, I'll be giving it away I think.
