NOTD China Glaze Pull Me Close

Hey everyone! Here's another NOTD I wore a few days ago. I was in the mood for a magnetic polish so I chose China Glaze Pull me Close from the first magnetic collection that came out a few months ago. In the bottle, this looks like a dark steel blue but on the nail it looks more dark metallic gray. The formula is great. I always put on two coats of magnetic polish. Some people use only one. This polish lasted a while too! I had this on for like five days before it started to chip! Here is two coats:





I'm looking forward to picking up the new China Glaze Magnetix line which should be in stores really soon! The first magnetix line is currently on clearance at Sally's. Thanks for reading!

NOTD Layla Metallic Sky Magneffect Nail Polish!

Hello! So last night I did my nails. I wanted to use a magnetic polish that I haven't photographed yet. I went with Layla Metallic Sky magnetic polish which is a dark metallic blue. It's soooo pretty! For this mani, I wanted it to look different than my other magnetic mani's so I held the magnet at a different position. Here it is without topcoat:




Then, I was inspired by Colette from My Simple Little Pleasures and I added one coat of China Glaze Matte Magic on top.







I can't get over how much I loooove magnetic polishes! So amazing! Have you picked up any magnetic polishes yet? Which ones have you picked up? How do you like them? Any problems?

NOTD Nails Inc. Trafalgar Square Magnetic polish

Hi everyone! So last night I was going through all of my untried polishes... I have alot... and I decided on Nails Inc. Trafalgar Square magnetic polish. I haven't worn a magnetic polish in a while and I love them, and I wanted to wear a silver polish too. Trafalgar Square is a platinum silver polish and it's actually the most sheer of all the magnetic polishes that I have. I picked this up from Sephora last year when I had first heard Sephora was carrying magnetic polishes. Now many places are carrying their own brand of magnetic polishes, and China Glaze is releasing their own line too. I had to put on two coats before putting on the last coat to do the design with. Here is three coats in total:








I looooooooooooove magnetic nail polishes! The only thing that gets on my nerves is that every time I apply top coat, it smudges the design. I even waited a long time for the polish to dry before I put on top coat and it still smudged. I try to get alot of top coat on the brush, and I use different topcoats but they all smudge on these. What am I doing wrong? How come all the other swatches I see, the designs are perfect and not smudged? I will gladly accept any tips and pointers! Here are the other magnetic polishes that I've worn. I've posted these pics on previous posts:

Hi everyone! Happy Black Friday! I hope everyone had an awesome Thanksgiving! I know I did, and I received so many compliments on my nail polish. I was in the mood to wear a magnetic polish. Here is Layla Velvet Groove. Don't mind my dry ragged cuticles, I had just washed my hands after I walked my dogs.








I am in love with magnetic polishes! Thanks for reading, have a great weekend, and have fun shopping!

NOTD Oct. 25, 2011 Layla Black Metal Magnetic nail polish

 Hi everyone! Today's NOTD is Layla Black Metal magnetic nail polish! I really like magnetic nail polish but it took me a couple of times to get it right. Here I used the Layla polish but I used the Nails Inc magnet for the effect. I just like the Nails Inc magnet better. Here are two coats:







I really like the 3D effect made by the magnet. These pics do not do this polish justice. It's pretty amazing in person! Check out my magnetic nail polish tutorial on how to use this polish right on the post before this one. Thanks for reading!
