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

Xoxo,

  8. @Thifa: Agree! My nails are also curved so I had to move magnet but the pattern wasn't same on all nails. :/ It really depends what shape of nails you have. My friend has really small and not curved nails and she made it perfect with a normal kitchen magnet, I was so jealous then. xD

    @nikol: It's so good to hear that it works for you! Magnetic polishes are really interesting. :)

    @Renate: Oh, really, 2 coats? I should try that next time, but even with one are stripes gorgeous! :)

    @Lendoxia: Hvala, bilo mi dosadno. :P

    @zygzak: Alessandro magnet works like a magic! I don't know why Essence didn't make something like that. :/

    @nail crazy: Nije plav, nego tamno siv (Steel Me) ali mi flash sve tamne boje poplavi. Ima Alessandro plavog - Blue Chip! :)

    @nail crazy: I meni je Queen Berry baš najlepša! <3

  10. Alessandro ima res fantastične barve v tej kolekciji. Edino kar me je odvrnilo od nakupa je res prehuda cena. :( Za eno stekleničko Alessandro laka sem dobila 2-3 lake drugje, intse mi je zdelo prehudo. Čeprav vsakič obžalujem ko vidim swatche.

  11. Tale Alessandro je pa res čudovit, ampak se tudi meni zdi cena zelo visoka za moj študentski račun, si raje s tem denarjem kupim še en G2G =). Seveda je drugo če je nagrada. Te morjo bit vedno ful hude =)
    Po drugi strani pa dela res lepe vzorčke, ampak nič ne nadomesti mojega čarobnega Puss-a =)

  12. Wau, tole izgleda enkratno. Tudi sama imam magnetne lakce od Essence, vendar niti pod razno ne pridejo tako lepi vzorčki.

  13. Ajme super Steel me ovdje izgleda i sad kad vidim da si napisala da A. ima plavi metalic lak... aaaaaa.. to mora biti prekrasno.

    I sviđa mi se kako ti je uzorak uspio.. moram kupit taj A. pa makar samo zbog magneta.. a ne znam gdje da ga nađem.

  14. @Danielle: Thank you! I'm also very pleased with the result. :)

    @Ulmiel: Ja, res so predragi, to je edini - pri Alessandro lakih. :) Ampak vsaj magnet je super in tako lahko uporabljam tudi ostale magnetne lake. :)

    @colorfulbottle: Hehehe, ja si je pa treba privoščit kdaj pa kdaj. :) Ceneje ga tako ne bi mogla dobiti nikjer. :/ In ja, že G2G je drag, ampak kar dolgo traja. Sama imam še skoraj celega ampak le zato, ker sem nekaj časa uporabljala Seche Vite. Ko ga pa zmanjka, bopa res treba novega nabavit, ker brez njega ne morem bit več. :)

    Tvoj Puss je pa itak razred zase, meni ni pomagal - sploh! :/ :D

    @Laki Za Nohte: Hvala! Meni tudi ni uspelo vsaj pol toliko lepo kot s tem magnetom. Ni in ni šlo. Še posebej, če so nohti ukrivljeni. :/

    @Lalica: Da da, ima - Blue Chip, stvarno je lep. Hmm... Kod nas su bili u Mülleru... :) I stvarno se isplati, jer je magnet predobar.

  16. @Martje: Agree, I think Alessandro's colors are much prettier than Essence, those metallics colors are just not my thing. :D

  17. Is there a way to get the Allessandro polish and magnet in the states? I love it, but haven't been able to find a way to order it. Your nails are gorgeous! I love the berry color!

  18. @Angie: Hi Angie. :) I'm not sure if Alessandro magnetic is available in the States, but you can check this webstore, they're selling similar magnets and magnetic polishes, maybe you can order some? I think they ship international too. :) I hope this help you. :)
