periwinkle magnetic polish

A few weeks ago I purchased the magnetic polish grab bag from you mix cosmetics.  They include 12 polishes and a magnet for 34.95.  This is the cheapest option I've seen for magnetic polishes.  The only downside is that you don't get to choose which colors you get.  Since most of their colors looked pretty, I figured I'd take a chance.  I'm glad I did.  The colors are so nice!

The individual polishes aren't labeled so I don't know the actual name for each color.  I've decided to call this one periwinkle because its a delicate silvery/purple.  This is 2 coats with the line magnet provided by YMC.

You can get a better feel for the color of the polish in this photo.

I'd recommend purchasing these polishes for anyone who is on a budget and looking to expand their magnetic collection.

Magnetic french tip

It was another beautiful day in Chicago today.  Hopefully everyone is experiencing the same great weather.  I've been really into magnetic polish recently.  The tips were done with the V shaped magnet. 

I've been trying a tape mani with magnetic polish but I keep ripping the base color off with the tape.  If anyone has suggestions, please send them my way.  

I love the way these turned out!

Now it's time to watch some Dance moms ;)

Opposites attract

I've started to get into the habit of changing my nails almost every day.  Although I'm pretty certain most people would think this is obsessive,  I know anyone reading this blog probably does the same thing....so no judgement here ;)

I'm really excited about this one.  I went to sally beauty today since they were having a sale on china glaze magnetix (which I've been wanting to buy).  If you purchase 2 polishes, you get a free magnet with three designs.  I went with you move me and instant chemistry polishes.

The star pattern works really well.

I painted a broad stripe on each nail with this electric blue franken (which is awesome one its own).  

The magnetic polish was placed adjacent to the blue stripes.  I used the diagonal magnet for the pattern followed by a black stripe to separate the two colors.

I absolutely love the contrast between the blue shimmery polish and the depth created by the tan magnetic polish.  It reminds me of something in ancient Egypt.
