Nails Inc Spitalfields - Fishnet Magnetic

Nails Inc have recently brought out a new line of 3 magnetics, with a fishnet design, Soho which is Chrome, Picadilly which is Gold and Spitalfields which is Emerald.

Today I have for you the Emerald Fishnet Magnetic polish, Spitalfields.

For those of you not familiar with the technique for Magnetic polish here is a guide:
Step 1 - apply one coat of base coat
Step 2 - apply one coat of magnetic polish to all nails. Leave to dry.Step 3 - apply one thick coat of polish to one nail. Immediately hold magnet over nail whilst polish is still wet. Hold the magnet very close to the nail and ensure that the magnet is the same distance away from the nail - the lid has a handy lip to place at your cuticle to help with this part.  Hold magnet for a few seconds. Remove to reveal design. *repeat this step on all nails, one at a time*Step 5 - finish with one coat of top coat

And here is the finished result, I was happy with the outcome using the above guide and only had one incident where the magnet bumped my nails and had to be redone.

This is one coat of the Knight, 2 of Spitalfields and no top coat.  I have found with some magnetics if you put a top coat on too quickly this seems to smudge the design a little, but I added top coat a while later and did not notice this happening.








I was really happy with how this turned out, and managed to wear this for 2 days without chipping, and to be honest if I hadn't been gutting out my spare room it probably would have lasted a little longer.

You can buy this polish from the Nails Inc Official site here for £13.

Thanks for looking and feel free to leave me a comment with your opinion on this new magnetic <3

Nails Inc Kensington Palace

I have a little treat you for all today, a beautiful Raspberry Magnetic polish from Nails Inc.

I am sure you are all familiar with the concept of the Magnetic polishes already, but basically you paint all nails with one coat of the polish and then one nail at a time, do a second coat and hold the magnet over it to create the effect.  I found with the Nails Inc Magnet, the design starts to show on the nails almost instantly but I held it over each nail for a few seconds before moving on to the next one.

Here is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of Kensington Palace and no top coat (since I forgot to do it for the photos)

I will point out that the first time I wore this polish I noticed the design streaking a bit once top coat was applied but I think I put my top coat on too soon as the second time I wore this polish (this time) I added top coat after the pictures were taken and I did not notice the same streaking.  So you may want to wait a bit before adding top coat with the Magnetic polishes.






This product will be available on the Nails Inc website from the week commencing 23rd January.

Thanks for looking lovelies <3

17 Magnetized - Green

I couldn't quite bear taking Lizard Belly off yet so had a look through my photo archive and found this one which I hadn't shown you yet, not sure why, but anyway.

I bought all 4 of the 17 Magnet polishes in Boots a few weeks back I think it was and after trying a different colour on each nail to get the hang of it, the first full mani I done was with the green one.

This was my first experience with magnetic nail polish so took a bit of trial and error before I got it right, but the actual use of the magnet was pretty easy.  I done 1 normal coat of the polish on all of my nails and then left to dry and then done another coat of the polish one nail at a time, holding the magnet over the nail while the polish was still wet to create the effect.  The cap has a handy lip to rest on your cuticle to avoid you bumping your nail with the magnet.

So here is the final result, this is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of the polish and 1 of the Shield.





Have you tried any magnetic polishes yet, how do you find them?

Thanks for looking <3 xx
