It is an undisputed fact that fun manicures and interesting nail polishes are the hottest new beauty trend.
Actually, this may be more than just a trend because women are much more willing to experiment and have fun with their nails than with their faces (i.e. those lacey eyelashes looked great on “The Hunger Games” but could you wear it for any other occasion besides Halloween?) I have seen so many more brightly colored nails and interesting manicures not only on the streets, but in the office as well. My personal nail polish collection has increased exponentially in the last few years as I am always looking to add interesting colors and finishes.
Thus when I first heard about magnetic nail polish, I knew I had to try it out.
This magnetic nail polish (shown in Trafalgar Square) is an opaque polish with magnetic particles that can be manipulated into patterns. There is a small magnet tool that can be held over freshly painted nails to create the pattern. Note that nails must be freshly painted and I actually painted one nail at a time and then immediately held the nail under the magnet.
The magnet may be a bit tricky at first because you have to hold it over wet nail polish and then roll it ever so slightly from one side of the nail to the other to ensure that the pattern appears over the whole nail. When I held the magnet in one place, the pattern only appeared in that place and it was a little odd.
Otherwise this is a fun polish and the shade by itself is opaque and chic. Have you tried any magnetic nail polishes?

My dear,
I found your blog by chance, while peeking others and I decided to check it out! I’m glad I did it, because I am really delighted with yours. It’s beautiful, well structured, interesting… and it has completely got me hooked. I think we’re going to get along just fine! 😉 I’d like to invite you to meet my space as well and I hope you’ll have as much fun as I am having in yours!
I wish you lots of success
kisses

The magnetic detailing makes this color pop – love it! 🙂
i saw a few companies have this – never tried it – not sure if i’m a fan – i like my nails to be simple
I have seen these polishes at the store but haven’t given them a try! I need to wear more polish – usually I just go for clear or light pink due to chipping, but I want to branch out a bit more. Your nails look great 🙂
This looks so fashion forward, love the metallic effect, its awesome!
I’ve seen these, but haven’t tried them yet! I think it’s fun! You did a great job and the polish looks great on it’s own too! Beautiful color.
That looks fabulous! I am lazy with my nails so this kind of no-effort effect is right up my street.
I’d love to try this! I totally agree that it’s much easier to experiment and try fun new things with your nails than with your makeup.
I love the look of a metallic polish, actually making magnetic is kind of a fun twist.
I do agree I’m a little more experimental with my nails than my face and I just love how much more put together I feel with a fresh manicure.
I’ve always wondered what it would actually look like, so thanks for sharing. I’ll have to get myself a bottle.
thats a great color!
