17's Magnetized in Lilac...I couldn't help myself

I'll tell you what, nail/beauty bloggers are highly influential. Back in November last year, I bought a few magnetic nail polishes by 17. I swatched two and didn't bother with the third because it got lost in a haul of other things. You know what that's like; you pick up a few bottles, swatch some, buy some more, forget a couple from the first haul, swatch some of the second haul, buy some more, forget some from the first and second hauls.... Don't pretend that this hasn't happened to you!

As always, I digress. Every time I look at my blogger dashboard, I see that someone has written a post about a magnetic polish they are currently in love with. This then makes me want said polish in my stash (so that I can swatch it once and then banish it to my already groaning Helmer...don't pretend you don't do that either).

Well, I'm not buying any more magnetic polishes yet, so tonight I have a swatch of the poor, neglected and extremely gorgeous Lilac.

Enough chat.

 This was strictly a 'one-coat' affair.

 Nope, I'm not trying to disguise any tip wear after forgetting to take pictures on the day of application *cough, cough*.


Until next post...

17 Magnetized polish in Teal

So, here is the last installment of 17's Magnetized polish...better late than never!

 Teal.

I only bought these two colours but there are three more available. I don't know how long these are going to be out for but I have a feeling I'll be grabbing some more of them soon.

Handpainted design

Hi friends!

I'm having trouble trying to name my manicures - brain freeze.

This one is inspired by an H&M dress that I was wearing recently.  I used 17's Twighlight Teaser as a base and acrylic paints for the flowers/pattern/thingies.

Um, not one of my best but hey!

Hey Friends!

I've experimented again with the 17 Crackle Top Coat.  Here it is with OPI's Bogie...after three days of wear.

It's weird, but I think I like it! Do you?

17's Crackle top coat with Barry M, Models Own Smash-up and Nails Inc Crackle Collection

I'm a little behind with my posts but have changed polish regularly. I haven't been in the mood for posting over the last few days *slaps wrist*.

I was in Boots the other day (yes, I should have probably have shares in the company for the amount of time I spend in there) and I found a 3-for-2 offer. I got these two:

 17's Supreme Shine in Bared and Twighlight Teaser

...and this was the freeness:

17's Nail Xtras Crackle Top Coat

 Everyone has been jumping on the bad wagon of late with these crackle/shatter polishes.  I don't understand why it's taken so long for other colours to come out, but I guess patience is a virtue. Nails Inc have some nice ones coming out and I'm eagerly awaiting the Models Own colours being released soon!

 Barry M's Neon Pink which has an electric blue shimmer to it.

 Right hand!!!

 Shatter polish

Not bad. Funny though, if you put in on without a basecoat, it wears like a normal pearlised colour. Interesting.

I like it and the price wasn't bad either. I can't actually remember, but the bottles of 17 were about £3.50 each or thereabouts.
