Claire's Magnetix - Blue/Purple Magnetic Nail Polish

Image
Hi Guys! I have another Claire's Magnetic polish to show you today. I got this polish along with the Gold/Olive Magnetic a couple weeks ago and I have actually worn this polish quite a few times since then. This polish has the same wonky brush as the other one but I still love it. The magnet on this one is much like my Nails Inc. Trafalgar Square wavy magnet. The Claires's magnet polishes retail for $8.50 but they are usually BOGO 1/2 off. I am currently working on another dotting tool mani. If all goes well I will get that up tomorrow.

Everbella Dotting Tools Review

Today I have something cool to show you. I received some dotting tools from Everbella to review on my blog and I was so excited to use them. I have seen many other people online with the most fantastic dotted manis and I really wanted to try them out. Of course I had to have the boyfriend help me out when it came to the colors. This is what we ended up with! Now the base color I chose is my own franken I made just for this manicure. I only seem to have light grays and I wanted a darker gray so that is what I made. I used a quite a few colors for my dots and they are: Sally Hansen - Wet Cement Sinful Colors - Cinderella Sinful Colors- Paradise Pure Ice - French Kiss CND - Midnight Sapphire Wet n Wild - Black Creme The dotting tools were super simple to use. The shipping from Everbella was super quick as well. I have heard a lot of people ordering their dotting tools from Ebay and they take like 1-2 months to even get them. The dotting tools retail for $3.89 on Everbella . Exclusive

Claire's Magnetix - Olive/Gold Magnetic Nail Polish

I tried my other Claire's magnetic polish out last night and wanted to show you guys the results. First off I have to say that I really like both of the magnetic polishes I got from Claire's. I have already wore the blue/purple one and I loved it although I could not get an accurate color photo of it so I have not got around to posting that one. This polish was also hard to get a color accurate photo of but I finally managed..kinda. This polish tends to be a tad more greener in person. Let's talk about the polish itself for a moment. The polish went on pretty thin on the first coat but the second coat made it all better. Also, both of the magnetic polishes I got from Claire's have the most wonky brushes on them. At first I was like how am I going to polish my nails with these things? To my surprise again they actually made it easier to apply the polish so I can't complain about them anymore. The top cap does pop off of these polishes much like the Nails Inc. Trafal

Sinful Colors - Cinderella

Image
Here is a polish that I showed to you yesterday in my "Offline" Haul. This is Sinful Colors Cinderella. This is a beautiful blue polish that has beautiful glass flecks throughout it. The glass flecks have the same color change as Essie Shine of The Times.  I have to say I love this polish but Sinful Colors formula still irks me. It never seems to dry as fast as I would like it to. I will however give this beauty a second chance. FYI: I found this polish in with all of the other Sinful Colors core polishes if you are looking for it!

My "Offline" Haul!

So I have been MIA for quite some time but that does not mean that I have stopped collecting polish along the way. I have gotten quite a few awesome polishes over the past few weeks and wanted to show them to you. Zoya Veruschka, Loredana, Savita, and Sooki I got some of the Zoya Mattes which I am none to impressed with. They are super thin and dry slow! I am wondering if I got dud ones or something. Claire's Gold/Olive and Blue/Purple Magnetic Polishes, Sinful Colors Cinderella, Wet n Wild  On a Trip These polishes I picked up over the last several weeks. I was excited to get my hands on Cinderella although it is in the core display of my Walgreen's selection now. That meaning I have extra and will probably put them on the blog sale within the next coming days. I was also excited to see the new Wet n Wild Megalast polishes and this one stood out to me. China Glaze FYI, 100 Proof Pink, No Way José I got these awesome polishes off of ebay. I had been scouring some of th

China Glaze - Let's Do It In 3D

I'm Baaaack!!! So I finally got my computer issues resolved. I had so many photos on my old computer that I tried to back up but I don't think it's going to happen. Oh well, I guess that means more swatching for me! This polish I have to show you today is China Glaze Let's Do It In 3D. This polish exists no longer on store shelves but I was able to pick up a bottle from a girl in a Facebook polish group I am in. I was quite excited to have another holo to add to my collection but I must admit I was worried when I received it because it does not look very holo in the bottle at all. My worry was turn to glee when I put it on the nail. After it was dry it was very holo! I have also got some pretty cool polishes since I have been offline so I think a haul post is in order. I will have that for you guys tomorrow. Until then have a great weekend!

Giveaway Winners!

I am happy to announce the two winners of my first giveaway! I will be emailing them shortly. Ali Golightly Kmeyers101 Congratulations girls!  A side note: I am having computer problems hence the lack of posts. My screen went out on my computer which is just lovely as I have online classes. I hope to get this problem fixed by next week if possible. I have many backlogged posts with photos I can't crop or edit. It is frustrating to say the least. I hope to be back soon!
