Nails Inc. Magnetic Effect Nail Polish

Yes, that's right, magnetic nail polish! Most of you haven't heard of this but its definitely an up and coming trend in the nail polish world. We've already seen several magnetic polishes from LCN, and now from Nails Inc. And I've recently heard that China Glaze is coming out with 6 magnetic polishes with 3 different magnets! That's awesome because China Glaze is definitely more accessible and a lot cheaper than the previous two brands. But enough talking, come see the magic of Trafalgar Square! (And please, please, please ignore my awfully dry hands in the pictures below. I was painting my bathroom that day and was scrubbing the paint off and didn't lotion up until after the pictures...dumb, I know). 

You take the bulky cap off, which contains the magnet.

Close up of the magnet...ignore the smudge of polish in the center of it. You can see there's a lip on the magnet which you line up with your cuticle to make holding the magnet easier because your hand can get shaky and bump the polish (which I did anyways because I'm clumsy).

After painting your nails with one coat each of the polish, you move on to doing each nail one at a time.

You put a coat of the polish on, hold the magnet over your nail for 10-15 seconds and...

Voila! Awesome nail design!

This is really simple to do. If I can do it, you can do it. I'm awful with nail art but I got so many compliments with this polish! It comes in a few colors, I got the trio which is this color, a purple and a green/teal. Formula was great and dried really quickly!

There are a few downsides to this polish:

• Cost: I got the trio for $30, which is great. But individually they are $16 each. Yikes! Now that number is starting to not faze me anymore, but it still is up there.
• Accessibility: These are only on their website and at Sephora. I hate going into Sephoras. And all the ones around me don't even carry this polish. I came across these in Downtown Disney. And, as far as I know, these are limited edition.
• Design: There's only one design with the magnet. Now, you can hold it different ways to get a different look. I'll be experimenting with that the next time I wear it. But just one magnet design is kind of boring, and limiting to a certain extent. 

Magnetic polish. So awesome, and I'm really looking forward to the China Glaze polishes! I advise you to find these while you can...or wait for CG. (:
