Mgnetiques Magnetic Nail Polish - Yeah...No. I Have Better Things to Say About Having My Wisdom Teeth Pulled.

First off thank you for all the well wishes surgery went well.  It took and hour due to the fact that they were all impacted.  The had to break two to get them out and I had an abscess (which explains the pain I have been having).  Anyways I was pretty much up and about after a short nap.  I then decided to try on dresses!  I've been napping quite a bit when I take the pain killers.  I'm a bit swollen but if you didn't know what I looked like before it would be hard to notice. And I actually brush my teeth last tonight (YES!).  I haven't been able to open my mouth wide enough to get a proper brush in.  So far everything is going really well.  Fingers crossed I don't get dry socket!

Now back to polish.  Unlike my surgery this will be getting a less positive review. This is the worst magnetic polish in the whole universe.  Probably one of the worst polishes I've ever tried in general (lucky for me it was a gift). Let me just say it doesn't help that I'm sort of over magnetic polishes now(sorry OPI).

It's purple and has sort of a frosty finish, that dries matte.  And it's a sad excuse for a magnetic.  I used 2 coats and then I held the magnet above it for anywhere between 10 and 30 seconds.  And as you can see I pretty much got squat.  It did show up on a couple fingers but barely.  In real life it was way less visible. So I f you see this in stores and you say to yourself "Wow this is inexpensive maybe I should get it".  Don't.

 You can see some of the stripes on the index finger, the pinky and a BIT on my thumb.

China Glaze Magnetix - Pull Me Close and Instant Chemistry swatches and review

So China Glaze is impressing me SO MUCH lately.  I love their colours, the formula, everything.  So when I heard they were jumping on the magnetic polish trend, I knew theirs would be my first ones.  I wasn't about to drop $18 on Nails Inc, so the $10 price tag for CG sounded a lot better.

Then I went to Sally Beauty.  I got them for $6 a piece PLUS the magnet was free!  Saved $24!  I am one happy camper, let me tell you.

I picked Instant Chemistry and Pull Me Close, and I think I might go back for another if I can't get my hands on the Icing Magnetics on today's mall trip.  I loved the colours and unlike other reviews, I liked the magnet.  My only complaint is that, as you'll see, my teeny pinky nails are too small for the starburst pattern.  Oh well, you win some, you lose some.

Onto the swatches!
