Nail Inc. Magnetic Polish Review

Another day...another nail polish review.

So recently I caved and brought the Nail inc. Magnetic polish from Sephora. I couldn't help myself...I was shopping alone and no one was there to stop me! ;)



Back to product...I purchased the Nail inc. polish in the color 'Trafalgar Square' for a wallet hurting $16. I was hoping my local Sephora wasn't gonna carry the polish or that they were sold out...but NO they had it, so I had to try one.


The packaging comes with an extra cap that has the magnet on top...with a special indent on the cap as a locator to where to place your nail when using the magnet...As shown in the above picture.






Steps:

1. One coat of a base nail polish...Obviously
2. Apply one LIGHT coat of the magnetic nail polish
3. Let the first coat completely dry then apply another coat
4. From there immediately hover the magnet over the nail for 10 to 15 seconds
5. Lastly apply a top coat!

Pros:

• Unique --- I personally never heard of or tries magnetic nail polish, so the concept is what drew me into the purchase
• Perfect for any nail polish lover
• Cool effect that is hard to replicate 
• Fun to use :)

Cons:

• Obviously this product is pricy --- So I wouldn't go nuts and buy more than one
• Tricky to use --- Takes getting used to hurrying the application and holding the magnet at the right angle

Bare with me...

I know I've been neglecting this blog but it's because of School! I promise to post a blog about a recent purchase I made...Lets just say its positively cool!

...get it?

New OPI Nicki Minaj Collection

I cannot even begin to explain my excitement for this upcoming collection. I am so ecstatic that OPI has decided to release a Nicki Minaj collection following their previously successful Katy Perry line.

Can't wait! Better start saving.

Happy Halloween!

Happy Hallows Eve from me to you...Check out my Halloween nails filled with grave stones, bats, ghosts, spiders, and Frankenstein. 

Have a great and safe Halloween! :)

Sally Hanson Lace Review

Hello loves!

This post will be strictly about the Sally Hanson Nail effects. The first set I purchased was from Walmart and was the leopard print design. I ABSOLUTELY loved the leopard design and how long it stayed on my nails but it just wasn't the same for the lace design. As much as I loved the lace look, it also gave me problems...

Pros:

• Fast nail art technique

As you probably already know the lace look is hard to pull off unless you have the time, energy, and patience...and since I do not this nail effects comes in handy when I'm looking for a quick nail design

• Simple Process

Seriously these are as simple as they come! First you find the best sticker to fit each nail, and all you do is peel them off and stick onto your nails. The whole process takes less than 10 minutes...which is much faster than painting nails with nail polish.

Cons:

• Chips easily

Weird how the leopard nail effects didn't chip as much as these but they did. Boo. It didn't even last me 4 days without it chipping...keep in mind this is with a top coat overlay.

• Cost

As much as I love the look, I personally can't stand that these nail effects are $10 a set. This is why the only time I purchase these are when they're on SALE! I did that recently when Walgreens had a special for each set for $5...win. 

• Resembles "shatter" look

This con can actually be a pro depending on you but for me it resembles the OPI shatter look too much from far away. I got so many "is that shatter on your nails?" questions it got annoying. 

Shatter for a Cause

Hi Dolls !

Okay...So since getting the Pink Shatter I've been so excited to test out and finally got the chance the other night! I was sad that the pink shatter didn't look good over darker nail polish but I'm not gonna complain because I really liked how this pink and white look turned out. Keep reading if you wanna see how I created this look...

Products Used:

OPI Nail Lacquer
in Pink Shatter

Nailene White
Nail Polish

California Glitter
Nail Polish

*Remember that you can use any similar products already in your collection to create this look*

Steps to create this look:

1. Apply your usual base coat

2. Apply one to two coats of white nail polish --- apply enough to give full coverage

3. Apply a light coat of glittered nail polish --- I used a light silver and pink glitter since we are using pink shatter! :)

4. Paint over your nails a heavy coat of pink shatter for a thick and large shatter effect...or if you're looking to create a thin shatter effect use a light coat of shatter!
