Alessandro & Essence Magnetic Nail Polish

I bought Essence magnetics polishes from Metallics collection a while ago and I only showed you one - Cooper Rulez! Because Essence magnet doesn't work for me and I spend a lot time with magnet from refrigerator, I gave up! But today I recevied a new magnetic polish with an amazing magnet so I wanted to test them all and it was the perfect opportunity for magnetics skittles!

Alessandro Go Magic! Twist is unfortunately 5 times more expensive than Essence but at least you get working magnet in set. Magnet looks like this:

Alessandro has released 4 different colors just like Essence, but I prefer their colors more, thise metallics colors are really not my colors at all! I got Queen Berry - a dark berry pink color. Application of all of them is easy, you have to apply a thicker coat and work fast. Instructions of Go Magic! Twist Alessandro magnetic polish are:

Easy right? Here we go...

From thumb to pinkie:
Cooper Rulez!
Iron Goddes
Nothing Else Metals
Steel Me
Queen Berry

Excuse my dry cuticles on last picture, it was so cold!around

I really didn't have any problems with magnet, strips become visible in a few seconds, pattern is same on all nails... Yaaaay! I really love Queen Berry because I don't like metalics color but I just had to have them. Which one is your favorite?

This was a quick skittles manicure, but when my nails grow up a little I'll show you one by one soon! kenyit

Essence LE Fairytale - Welcome To Wonderland

I removed Pixie Dust and because I recevie Welcome to wonderland I decided to try it out. Welcome to wonderland is a cold nude with a touch of lilac, silver shimmer and foil finish. Application was easy just like with Pixie Dust, I added 3 coats on pointer and middle finger and 2 on others. I think it looks better with 3. It dries fast, so it's perfect when you don't have a lot time for manicure.

Here are my short nails. malu

Essence LE Fairytale - Pixie Dust

Here is my mani that I had it now for a few days on my nails and it's still beautiful. After taking first photo I broke my nail and I just filed them down on the same lenght - very very short. xpastiI really can't have nails with different lenght. I only don't mind when my thumb break then I never filed them short.

Pixie Dust is a warm pink nude with silver shimmer and foil finish from Fairytale collection. Definetely a suble color and easy weareble. I add 2 coats, it dries extremely fast. I like this kind of colors when I don't have time for my manicure or when I take a break from colors.

It's very shiny and subtle, I really like it!

I also got the last one I want from this collectiontoday - Welcome to wonderland. Yay!ihikhik


Hope you had a nice day!

Catrice LE Expect the Unexpected - Purposely Purple

Here is one quick post for today. I still have to write down my last 5 of 10 top polishes but I'm watching Desperate Housewives and I can't wait to see new part so it'll have to wait. I think I'm at the end of 2nd season, 5 more to go. Yay! Do you watch Desperate Housewives?

I got this beauty in my swap with Martje and I'm so happy I got it. Thank you! Purposely Purple is from Catrice Expect the Unexcepted limited edition. A nice dark bluish creme purple. I love it! But this blurple's not fotogenic at all. It always came out blue on my pictures. This is the best I could take! I think I add 2 coats and 1 coat Good To Go.

Later I add one tiny detail, because I was going to BF. I used BM02 and Essence Stamp me! White nail polish for stamping.

With flash
What do you think? I think this purple could be quite similar to purple one from Manhhatan and its Spice Up Your Nails limited edition. I was watching it in my store for quite a long time but when I decided to buy it, they removed quite a full shelve, but now I got this beauty and we're all happy!

Happy Sunday!
