China Glaze Magnetix

Today, I have China Glaze's new magnetic collection. It consists of 6 colors: Drawn to You, Instant Chemistry, Attraction, Pull Me Close, Cling On, and You Move Me. There are three different magnet designs: straight lines, chevroned lines, and a starburst effect. All of these pictures have each magnet design along with the polish unmagnetized. So, enough talk, here they are:)
The Bottles all together and magnet :)

Drawn To You: a medium purple metallic with lavender magnet lines

Instant Chemistry: a dark eggplant-ish metallic purple with medium purple magnet lines

Attraction: a charcoal gray with glitter and silver magnet lines

Pull Me Close: a medium cobalt blue metallic with light blue magnet lines

Cling On: a lime green metallic with pale green magnet lines

You Move Me: a gold metallic with yellowish magnet lines

Hope you like them :) these are all one coat (per the instructions), but they were a little thin. I plan on letting one coat dry then doing a second coat with the magnet so it's not as spotty as some were. Overall, I'm super happy with them.

31 Day Nail Challenge Day Seven: Black & White Nails

Originally for my black & white nails, I planned on stripes but later thought that would be too "plain" so I decided to do a straw splatter using Wet N Wild white for the base and China Glaze Liquid Leather for the splatters.

I know I got a little picture happy with this, but I LOVE how it turned out :)

31 Day Nail Challenge Day Three: Yellow Nails

When I first saw the Yellow Nails challenge on the list, I panicked (lol). Yellow is a color everyone is trying to keep off their nails (many brands make a yellow stopper), so the first thought in my head was "how do I make it cute?"
Here they are :)

This one was taken with iPhone 4 flash

Here it is in natural lighting

For my yellow nails, I used China Glaze Lemon Fizz and China Glaze Blonde Bombshell :)

I'm glad I had the Lemon Fizz on hand, because that's the only non-neon yellow I own, and I didn't want to go the "easy" route and do a matte neon yellow.

Hope ya like this one :) I like it better than I thought I would.

31 Day Nail Challenge Day One: Red Nails

My first blog post (for this blog at least) is going to kick off my start of the 31 day nail challenge :)

Here is the list of challenges for each day :) I'm pretty excited to start this today.

For my red nails, i started with OPI Vodka & Caviar :) to keep it from being a plain cliche red, I added Finger Paints Sparkle Top Coat (available at Sally Beauty Supply). This top coat is an iridescent pinkish gold that transforms any color into something shimmery. On the tips I used China Glaze Love Marilyn (from the Eye Candy collection) for some extra glitter and sparkle :)

Definitely looking forward to what I'll come up with tomorrow :) I love layering and sparkle
