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.

The New Black Horizon Ombre Swatch, Screme Egg

Here is another one of The New Black's Ombre collection's this is the set of blues called Horizon.

The packaging.

I bought this particular set via Sephora.I believe this set along with the red, called Rover may be my favorite, with the pink bringing in a close third. Although I love all the ones I have purchased thus far.

Oh how cute is this, I went to the store today to pick up a few things, and I see, Halloween themed Creme Eggs, called Screme Eggs!

The traditionally yellow yolk is green tinted. Very adorable, I am a sucker for creme eggs, so to see them extended into Halloween and with green, no less. I squee'd!

Shadows, duo chromes. & best case ever.

I'd meant to show a couple of duochrome shadows in my last post, but got carried away with something else. I love shadows with a nice shift to them, the more dramatic the better, especially greens and teal iridescence. So when I saw the Kat von D shade shifter shadows at Sephora I knew I had to give them a go. I bought the brown with green shift called On the Road, and the cornflower blue with baby blue shift called Stockholm.

I go on at length reviewing them at Sephora's site under the moniker piratefly. I love their performance, but what I truly wanted to get into was the shade, how close is it to Too Faced Label Whore (now known as Petals to the Metal), enough to recommend to someone to warrant buying it, should you have the Too Faced shadow or Urban Decay's Lounge.

This was a bear to swatch, for many reasons, not only the lighting but the placement, as you can see my hands and arms are a no go for swatching so it made things difficult at onset. But with these lighting conditions show just how slight the difference is, but what difference there was, I think is your preference for color. The Label Whore/Petals to the Metal had more of a teal/bluish cast to the green shift whereas the On the Road has a stand out green. Both bases are a rusty brick brown, when you apply the On the Road wet, as recommended on the package that red color really comes up in the base.

The packaging.

LW/PttM on left, OTR on right to show brick base and sheen.

A better view between a more teal to green caste between the nearly identical base shadow.

Darker lighting will show a better difference between the two, showing teal and a more burgundy versus brick whereas dead on they look samey.

Macro of the pair.

Basically if you've one, I don't think you necessarily need the other, they are both gorgeous and perform well, but both are better with a primer than not.

Disclosure as I haven't renovated yet, I bought the KvD shadows at Sephora and the Too Faced was a Gift from my sister. As a lol, because this look, was just all kinds of no. Here is me wearing the Stockholm, I feel like a 50s Barbie in all the wrong ways. But I matched my clear Imperial Shadow Trooper's helmet so that was a plus. Can clearly see the shift between the more cornflower base blue and the lighter blue.

Now onto the best case I have ever purchased for my iPhone. I bought this at Gypsy Warriorbut have since seen the maker's site where there are all kinds of gorgeous creations. Amazing, all sorts of spike color and case options. Bought the blue spiked Ice Ex-Girlfriend for winter. Hey that paypal balance is good for something via Matthew Millions.

This case is called the 'Merica Ex-Girlfriend, had a better picture on my Instagram (ie cropped)but you get the point. It's foxy as all get out!
