Overcast - Cloudy |
When this collection Came Out That I Was not excited about the magnetic trend so I just bought one of Them, without the magnet, and left untrieds it in my box. Then one day I was wondering what to swatch (it was cloudy so I avoided both shimmer and glitter polishes) and grabbed this one. By the way I have also to explain that (don't laugh please I feel so stupid) I thought that stripes came out because the specific "polish magnet" shape or whatever so trying with a fridge magnet wouldn't have given the same result. BUT as soon as I tried first nail I discovered that stripes "emerge" naturally with any magnet (my hubby blabbered something I didn't understand about iron particles properties). So cool!
One coat only, then you put a magnet really close to the nail (1-2 mm) and stripes come out immediately! On pointer finger I gave the wrong angle so I applied another coat and re-do them.
The only thing that counts is to be very quick in the application/magnet process. I love this effect, also because in pictures stripes seem in relief but IRL nail surface is actually quite smooth.
I'm really happy Essence decided to make four of them part of the permanent collection, I hope I'll find them this Spring.
What about you and magnetic polishes? Do you find them interesting?

Quando sono usciti questi smalti non mi ispiravano molto, così ne ho preso uno solo, senza magnete e l'ho messo nella scatola degli untrieds. Poi, dopo a couple of months I took it out "just to do" (the sky was overcast that day and it was not worth swatch glitter and shimmer), because I was convinced that the magnet had a particular shape (to create lines - for Please do not laugh) and despite having read that you could use any magnet, I thought did not work.
Instead I realized that, with any magnet (I used one of the refrigerator, keeping it tilted) the enamel is raised to form "spontaneously" lines: -0. The reason is unknown to me, (my husband has blathered something about the properties of certain particles but did not understand anything) I still love it. Simply apply one coat and pull (1-2 mm) magnet nail, I was wrong and the inclination of the index I covered everything with another hand and rebuilt. The only important thing for me has been quick to lay / magnetize.
Another thing: even if the photos it looks like the enamel is wrinkled, the surface is smooth and ... Magiaaaa!
I bitterly regretted not having taken other glazes in this collection! Fortunately, the Essence has decided to make "permanent" four, hooray! I hope to find them ;-)
And you think of this "innovation"?
