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. Trafalgar Square I have. The magnet is also pretty much the same except for the fact it has two spots where you can rest your nail bed while your using the magnet on your nail.
This particular magnet has sideways lines on it. The other magnetic polish I got from Claire's has the same design as the Nails Inc. magnetic polishes although it is not as strong. This magnet was very strong and even got the sides of my curvy nails. My Nails Inc. magnetic doesn't even do that! I will give you a tip to try when you are in the store to see if your magnet is strong because I saw polishes in Claire's that were even missing the magnets. All you have to do is hold the top of one magnetic against the bottle of another and make sure you can see the transition very well. I don't know if this hurts the polish but I have done it with all of mine and it doesn't seem to be a problem. If you are on the lookout for these they are $8.50 each but you can get them BOGO 1/2 off. I want the pink one now!

Water Marble Success

Image
Happy Friday All! Today I have for you as promised my second full-on attempt of a water marble. If you follow me on Twitter I gave a sneak peak of this last night. I was so excited to show it off.  I have been wanting to try this again since my first time I attempted it. The first time I water marbled it was a disaster. They did not turn out the way I wanted and it literally took me 3 hours to do both hands. It was exhausting to say the least and I was a tad bit apprehensive to try it again. Boy am I glad I DID! Look how freaking cool this turned out. Had to showcase the thumb! L-R Sally Hansen Blue Me Away, Wet Concrete, Mellow Yellow. I used a base of Wet n Wild White Creme under the water marble. I used all Sally Hansen polishes for my water marble. I love this color scheme. My sister told me it looked very 70's. I agree! Many water marble tutorials out there tell you to use room temperature water. I tried that and I could not get the polishes to spread out. I...

Tropical Sunset

Happy Friday! Well I don't know about you but I wish I was on a beach somewhere. Instead I'm having to settle for nail art sunsets. I have to say this was quite easy to do, but I will say I am only showing you my left hand for a reason. My Thumb = My favorite! I got my inspiration from  IartKandi's YouTube video. Click the link to watch her video. Her tutorial is great and she taught me everything I know. This is the fist time I attempted sponging let along using a stripe brush to make a object. I mean stripes I have done but palm trees, definitely not. It went better than expected and I love the results. L-R  Glitzerland, Y'all Come Back Ya Hear?, Blazed, Dream Poppy, Black Striper, Makeup Sponge I laid down two coats of Glitzerland to make my nail opaque. I then put one coat of Y'all Come Back Ya Hear? over my whole nail. Next came the sponging which was quite fun. I sponged on Blazed first which is a coral so it blended the orange and the pink togeth...

Wet n Wild Jelly Sandwich

Image
Happy Sunday Everyone! Hope you guys are having a great weekend. I just got off work early so my weekend just got better!Today I have for you another couple Wet n Wild polishes. I made my jelly sandwich from Wet n Wild FuchsiaRama and Party of Five Glitters. I have used Party of Five Glitters for this type of mani before because it pops under the coat of jelly polish. I really like the look of layering the glitter under a coat of the thin color because it gives it a bit of sophistication. Or at least that is what I tell myself. Fuchsia Rama can be layered to be opaque it just takes 3 to 4 coats. I used two coats of Party of Five Glitters and one thin layer of FuchsiaRama over it. Confession time: I am really not supposed to be wearing polish where I work. I work for like a sub-company within that company and we don't really adhere to all their rules. If we did my boss would be out of luck because her nails are insane! But anyways, I still don't like to draw that much...
