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...

    1. I know, you might feel like you're jumping on a bandwagon, but they seem to be here to stay. :)

  3. Great post question though. Did the magnet get your whole nail, or did you have to move the magnet around? I bought 2 magnetic polishes but the design is only in the center. :(

    1. The magnet on these bottles are about 2x1.5cm or slightly larger so I had to hover it and move it back and forth over the nail to get good coverage. I don't think it would work so well if my nails were longer. I did have some poor results when I first tried these polishes. I think it's more the technique you use and the pattern the magnet is supposed to give. :-s Don't give up though :)
