Happy Friday! So, as I mentioned in my last post I had a pretty good haul at my local nail supply shop earlier this week, and this is one of the polishes I picked up. I have never used magnetic polish before, and it seems like everyone under the sun has one out right now. Color Club has a line called Magnetic Force. I picked it up in Sci-Fi which is an antique-y gold /bronze metallic. My opinion is not too great of this polish. First off the formula was think and grainy. I don't know if this is the norm for magnetic polishes but it kind of threw me off. It was thick enough to only require 1 good coat. The only problem with that is that it dried really quickly and the nails must still be wet in order for the magnet to work, so I found myself having to add coats on. The magnet is another issue. It is attached to the top of the bottle with a tiny lip which is supposed sit at the cuticle while you hold the magnet just above the nail. Nearly impossible to do without hitting the nail- which I did several times and had to start all over. Very frustrating. Also the magnet was hit or miss. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. I had to go over a few nails twice in order to get the design to show at all. And after all of that I don't really like the results- the design is uneven and doesn't cover the entire nail. All in all, not impressed at all by it. I would still like to try a few other brands' version just to have something to compare this too, but this will be coming off tomorrow. So, yeah... Fail.
