Stuff You'll Love!

You'll Love: Sally Hansen Magnetic Nail Color

Whenever I pick up and magazine I {like every other girl on this planet} find myself drooling over the expensive products they recommend you buy. Sometimes I cave and buy them. But most of the time I opt for the less expensive but equally satisfying alternative. So I thought I would post the products I love and that I buy on a regular basis. These are all things I think are worth spending your time and hard earned money on, and I think you will love as well! 


Nail art has become quite the trend lately, and I totally love it...but my artistic skills are subpar at best....I could probably handle the odd white dots on a bright coloured nail but that's about it!  When I heard about the new Sally Hansen Magnetic Nail Color I was pretty apprehensive about trying it, because let's be honest...the Crackle nail polish wasn't the best. But my friend had the Magnetic Color on yesterday and it looked amazing, so I went right out to Shopper's Drug Mart and picked myself up a bottle! And I love it! It's super easy to use, dries shiny {and quickly} and looks like you had your nails done professionally!



The polish comes in 8 metallic shades {shown above} and includes the magnet. First apply a thin base coat to all 10 nails and let dry.  Next, apply a thick coat of color to one nail and immediately hold the built in magnet over the nail with the build in rest just under your cuticle. {Make sure you DO NOT touch your wet nails with the magnet, just hover}. Hold the magnet in place for 10 seconds, repeat for all 10 nails one at a time, let dry!  The iron filings in the polish rearrange themselves under the magnet to create the wave design on your nail. 

I chose Graphite Gravity, which is the darkest of the collection and I love it! The wave design shows up as a silvery colour which tones down the darkness of the polish, perfect for fall!



I think you'll LOVE this polish! You can purchase it at your local drug store for $9.99 a bottle!*
