Product Review: Sally Hansen Magnetic Polish


Sally Hansen is no doubt a leader in all things Mani Pedi and as a lover of their Salon Effects I was super excited to see their launch into the magnetic polish game.

Firstly they stand out from the crowd with a wider range of colours to choose from! I did do a previous review on Nails Inc Magnetic Polish from Sephora  (click for that review) which was only available in gun metal and a purpley colour.

So what colour shall I choose? I did pick this up while shopping for a Beauty Editorial ( to come soon :D) so I chose the shade 904-Kinetic Copper

How it Works: 
The polish comes with a magnetic cap which will activate the design within the polish. I first applied one coat and let that dry, then applied a second coat and used the magnet top to activate the design, be careful not to get too close or it will smudge.

Application: 
Goes on like a dream, the first coat is completely solid, it also looks great without using the magnet ( I did forget to take a picture of that part )
Wet nails! Loving the copper sparkle!




I absolutely love this colour and the polish itself, it definitely has more dimension to it than other magnetic polishes that I've tried. It has sparkly glitter in it also makes it amazing but not in an obnoxious glitter type way ( is there such a thing?). I love the way it shows only in between the magnetic swirls giving more life to the overall design.


Sajies love magnetic sparkly amazingness!


Only question left is whats the next shade I should try!

What shade are you picking up?

Product Review: Nails Inc. Magnetic Polish



I finally got my hands on a bottle of the Nails Inc Magnetic Polish
 to give it a try myself and see whats up!

Only two colours were available so I decided on the chrome shade Trafalgar Square

It was pretty simple to use, no difference to any polish.

The polish itself looks great without using the magnet to get the design, 
so it does have a double wear option.


To get the design, the instructions said to apply polish and let dry slightly, then apply the magnet cap to activate the design, BUT when I followed this I didn't get any results. whomp whomp!

So I completed my two coats and let them dry completely, then applied a third coat and immediately placed the magnet over the wet polish and voila! The design came through.

Two with magnet design, two withought

Overall its pretty cool and it looks nice, almost 3D like!

I also experimented with turning the magnet sideways on my ring finger and basically got the same pattern going sideways LOL, but at least theres a bit of variety in it! 

Will you be picking up some Magnetic Polish? Comment and let me know! 




The Sajies loves it! and wish it came in pink! ^_^
