This weekend Models Own will be at V Festival (Weston Park only) along with our friends from WAH Nails and Vitamin Water doing some amazing manicures!

If you’re heading to V, then come and find us and get your nails done. We’d love to see the pics, so if you do get your nails done send the pictures into us and we will put the best ones up on the blog!

Here’s some pictures of  the manicures we did when we were at Kendal Calling a couple of weeks ago (amazing, right?) so come and find us this weekend!

If you’re not heading to V Festival this weekend then we will next be at Bestival on the Isle of Wight in September.

80s nostalgia is back and fashionistas around the globe are once more donning shoulder pads, dusting off their leg warmers and getting themselves some eye-catching leggings. Along with the 80s fashion and make-up there’s also the classic 80s music that had us singing into our hairbrushes and dancing in our bedrooms.

Xbox is helping you relive those carefree times with the launch of Lips: I Love The 80s. The game features 40 of the most memorable songs of the decade from party pop classics by Kim Wilde and David Bowie to the feel good vibes of Blondie.

To celebrate the return of all-things 80s, Models Own have teamed up with Xbox to give you the chance to win this exclusive prize of an Xbox 360, the new Lips: I Love The 80s game and the entire Models Own lip gloss range!

To be in with a chance to win simply match up the iconic 80s pop stars below with their missing lips.

Good Luck!
