Magnetized Pink

Here are 2 coats of Claire's dark pink magnetic polish with the wavy magnet. You can probably get by with one coat, but I thought 2 would look better. The magnet cap is very similar to nails inc. magnet cap but this one has 2 cuticle ledges in a shape of a V. This was really easy to use and the formulation of this polish is great. I love this color! Some of the brushes are kind of crappy on these polishes because they clump, so if you are allowed to check the brush before you purchase it, remember to do so!

Magnetic Gradient Friday

I bought two new magnetic polishes today at Claire's. I decided to try if they would blend together well in a gradient. My thought was that since you have to put the magnet on each finger right away for the design to show, it might meld the two colors together. I used a shimmery pink and a shimmery purplish blue polish for this magnetic mani. These polishes do not have names. I did a wet gradient and put the magnet immediately on top. It is supposed to be a wavy design but the colors didn blend together as well as I wanted it to. I put a coat of Orly Twilight, a sparkly bluish silver shimmer top coat, in hopes of blending it more together. Still not what I was hoping. I might attempt this again because I really think in theory it should work. Hope you enjoyed this anyways!

How About a Tumble

This gorgeous gorgeous holographic pink polish is another one of my lemmings. I bought this a little while back from a fellow blogger. China Glaze How About a Tumble is a 3 coater and applied very nicely. I attached more pictures than usual because it is so mesmerizing. If you ever see this or any polishes from this line anywhere, PICK IT UP. I promise you it's worth it!

Gradient Friday : Metallic

For today's gradient Friday, I decided to do a metallic gradient using my Juicy Couture by Deborah Lippman nail polish set. The 3 colors in this set are so pretty and work well together so I hope you enjoy! I started off with 2 coats of Believe, a shimmery gold-beige color, which applies nicely but would look nicer in 3 coats. Next, I used Jewel in the crown, a shimmery pewter polish, and sponged it on half my nail focusing more heavily near the tips. Finally, Here comes the Queen, a clear based polish with gold glitter, was sponged on at the tips. I wanted to add a little more sparkle so I added a layer of Orly Shining Star, which is a gold iridescent top coat.

Beads and Dots

It's been awhile since I have done an elaborate design on my nails, so since I had a bit of extra time this weekend, I decided to do one. I started off with 2 coats of China Glaze Go Go Pink. This polish is a creamy baby pink polish that applied pretty smoothly. It is a little bit streaky so you have to be careful when applying. Next, I painted my tips using Nails Inc. Devonshire Row (a vibrant lilac) and Finger Paints Winter Sky (a shimmery turquoise). After this dried, I lined it with the corresponding color bead from my Martha Stewart set, last used here. I finished this look off with some random dots applied with a dotting tool using OPI Alpine Snow. I sealed it off with a coat of Seche Vite and it has lasted 3 days already with little damage.
