Now if you've watched me on the FOX morning show here in town, you've already heard about this little gem of a product, but this time I got a full week with it and I have more than 3 minutes to tell you about it :)
Sephora has dipped their brush in the magnetic nail polish well, and I have to say I'm neither happy nor sad about it.
Honestly, I was hoping for some OPI action with the magnetics but I didn't get it so Sephora will have to do. First off, it's higher than your average nail polish-ringing in at $16.
Now, is it worth that much?
Well let's see. I painted my nails three days ago and I've already got a chip so huge on my pointer that I'm going to have to repaint. Being the nail aficionado that I am-that's waaaayeeee to early for a bottle of nail polish costing more than two happy meals to start chipping.Lessoned learned: top coat it.
Now let's talk color-the purple I bought "Houses of Parliment" is the prettiest purple I've found in this type of polish. I really really like how the color looks even after being magnetized. The LCN version I have is a little too "I'm going to layer glitter over this then climb into my Justin Bieber sleeping bag when I'm done"-kind of purple.
I will say the pattern is neat. Having only tried the striped (LCN also came with a star pattern, but again-I hold a professional job and the ability to vote), this other pattern is more of a wave and is pretty cool.
What's really neat about it is that when you move your finger back and forth it looks like it's moving (forget that "professional job" thing I just mentioned).
Overall, not so bad. Magnetic nail polish is both a great conversation starter and a cool way to look like you've spent a lot of time on your nails when you really haven't.
Next time I have almost $20 to spend on nail polish, though, I'd probably see what Chanel's been bragging about.
