Red
Magnetic Polish by FASHIONISTA
Hi
Goddesses
Oooooh do I
have a goodie for you right now! I have
been lemming some magnetic polishes for ages but man, they’re expensive! Also, they tend to come in blue and green and
grey, and they’re not my favourite colours.
But the MINUTE I heard there was a red – BAM, I was there (or rather
Claire who kindly got it for me was).
So here we
have it “red”. The brand is called
Fashionista which is a new UK brand (never heard of them before) and they are
advertised by The Saturdays, a UK girl band, and luckily there are 5 girls, and
5 colours!
Now being
quite a cack-handed Crumpet, I wasn’t sure whether I would get magnetic to work
first time (I was soooo braced for disaster), but actually – ta dah! There are a couple of weirdnesses tho –
The
Weirdness List
* You only
use 1 coat of polish
* The polish
is quite thick, and you do need to put it on thick, which goes against most “colour
within the lines” rules
* This brand
has a magnetic that sits on top of the bottle.
You whip the pseudo lid off, and then there’s a curve on the side of the
lid, which you rest just under the cuticle after you’ve painted your nail.
* You will
notice my magnet is pristine. Is that a
lie Crumpet? Oh yes yes yes lol.
I sooooo
love this, and the run up to Christmas is the perfect time to be wearing
it. There’s a lot of cranberry and
raspberry in this, and the magnetic swathes look like the marks you get in
brushed velvet. I also love how the bits
that are paler look like they are lit from within – it’s *such* a neat effect.
This particular
pattern is a wavy one, and I’ll need to check the other bottles to see if they
are the same. I’m really pleased with
this first effort, but there are a couple of nails where only the middle has
moved, and I need to perfect my hand-eye co-ordination to get round the
corners!
1 final
conundrum – this had NO instructions with it.
The bottle told me to go to the website, which was next to useless, so –
how long are you supposed to hover the magnet for? A few seconds ? longer?
Some I held for 20 seconds, and they are definitely the ones with the
darkest stripes, but who knows, maybe I didn’t need to hold it that long!
So I am in
total love with this. COULD. NOT.
LOVE. IT. MORE. It’s bright, vibrant and has the wow factor,
making it an easy 1 coater with impact! Oh
and I make noooooo apology for all the photo spam – hopefully it made you sigh
and clap your hands with glee J
Magic J enjoy xx

Top Tip – if you’re
ever unsure what a nail colour looks like, go to Google images, which will give
you plenty of contrasts and compares.
