Nail's Inc, Magnetic Star Polish in The Strand, L'Oreal The Temptress' Touch

I love magnetic nail polish, ever since my beloved Lancome star polish, very rarely worn, but super loved. That formula very rarely worked but when it did, such a treat between the color and the star magnet. Perfection!

So many companies have been putting out magnetic polishes with a host of colors and and magnet types and have enjoyed a lot of them, was very excited to see Nails Inc have a star magnet. Mind you I just saw in RiteAid today, Revlon has out a line of all Star magnet polishes, but the colors were drab, so I put one back regrettably. I was on the fence but, I have several star magnets from cheap dollar store polishes up to Lancome's magnet and of course the Nail's Inc polish which I am going to get into. I will say the purple was quite tempting on Revlon's end and it was buy one ($9.99 get the next %50 off but for the heck of it I wasn't there to spend money for money's sake especially nearing the end of the month! But head's up should you be inclined)

There are three in the Nail's Inc Star Magnet line, I chose the blue called The Strand, as you can see because of the flake's to draw up the magnet it looks dramatically lighter in the bottle.

Of the Nail's Inc magnetic line, I think this is their strongest magnet. I don't know if that is on the strength of the polish or the quality of the magnet itself. It certainly looked like it heavier with filings in the bottle based on coloration. The fishnet worked a treat for me as well, am always surprised to see bad ratings for it. Was clear as a bell for me and gets compliments across the board. Also super keen on the navy color. I topped this off with Nail's Inc caviar top coat. My go to for speed these days. I bought both at Sephora.

Yes, caved again, here is yet another L'Oreal Project Runway shade, this is called The Temptress' Touch and I am looking unbelievably forwards to trying this on!

It is a bile electric green. From looking at it up close, it appears to have a slight shimmer, will be interested to see how that equates to the nail or if that is just how it is coating the bottle. I bought this at RiteAid.

Illamasqua Phallic!

Must preface this with the fact that the pictures couldn't capture how gorgeous this polish actually is, I may need to redo these pictures at another time. I was so impressed by the formula of Illamasqua's Phallic, all the shimmer was just amazing. Two coats probably could have been used but I went for three which really darkened it up because at the length there was a bit of bare spots. A top coat of Poshe was added. ^^

NYC Electric Nail Glossies in Midnight

I've had this one kicking around for quite a while, might even be a year or two, but I think I've seen ones lingering in Rite Aid from this collection in displays here or there. This is NYC's Electric Nail Glossies in Midnight. The square cap on this one comes off and reveals a thin wand.

Was a three coater for a bit of thin spots in color and it just sat strangely on some nails aside from the Poshe drying it nicely. Like it looked like it dried in a wave on two nails, which I couldn't document at all, yet on other nails perfect application. I'm stymied! While it isn't a duochrome it sometimes took on the look of a more teal than midnight blue in the blackened base, all and all it wasn't a bad polish. Just an odd one; slightly inconsistent.

Butter London Big Smoke

Today we have another Butter London polish, this time up is Big Smoke, which is a dusky medium navy blue. I like the color a lot. The formula on this one, not so much. I used four very generous coats, and still in some places in the light I can slightly still see through. So I'm slightly disappointed,now I know why it was sat there so full in the collection. XD But, with a white or black base that can be remedied depending on how dark you want to go I reckon. Photographs a tad darker than it is. Four coats with a top of Poshe. Bottle shot!

Indoor lighting.

Outdoors, it was a bit drizzly so this wasn't in the normal spot but best place I could get with good light. Should it clear will take another picture.

Zoya Indigo Polish

I decided to leave the bottle picture bigger so you could see the multi colored glitter flecks in the polish. When applied they really aren't prevalent on, but they are there and will catch the odd light here and there. Quite pretty.

I need to get some vaseline so I can try the tip about clean, this pooled a fair bit around my cuticles the Poshe kinda 'helped' that out too. Two coats of Zoya's Indigo with a top coat of Poshe. Indoor lighting.

Outdoor light, slightly overcast.

Wasn't able to capture the glitter effect, but it is hard to see even when looking for it with the bare eye, it is a pretty surprise that catches the eye sometimes. Maybe with a third coat, hmmm.

Hope everyone is having an excellent week-end!
