31 Day Challenge, Day Eight: Metallic

Let me start off by saying Sally Hansen's metallic nail polish is way better than nails inc. and from these pics you will be able to tell why:

The color is great, instant shine as soon as you apply the magnet! But the definition of the design is poor and the actual polish lost its luster after a day.
 :(

Polish after one coat, before the magnet was applied


Left had, you can barely see the design; and what you can see looks tie-dye!


Just trying to capture an angle to show case the effect lol

Tardy for the Party

Ok granted I took a while to jump on the whole magnetic-nail-polish-band-wagon but all I kept thinking is how one dimensional this polish would be. I mean, how many ways can you really wear wave polish?! After going back and forth in my own head I decided I don't care, I have lots of one hit wonders in my polish bin so what's one more?! Here I have Sally Hansen's Magnetic Nail Polish- Emerald Green and plan to purchase nail inc.'s-Fishnet Magnetic Polish- Soho (chrome) and Star Magnetic Polish- "The Strand" (navy). ::glee:: The results for Sally Hansen:





In hind sight I realize I should have posted how it looks before the "wave"; it looks like any other metallic polish, even a bit dull. Once you use the magnet though you don't even need a top coat! even though I absolutely used Seche Vite because I want this look to last.
