Sally Hansen Magnetic Nail Color Review

(I RECEIVED THIS PRODUCT COMPLIMENTARY FOR TESTING AND REVIEW PURPOSES FROM INFLUENSTER)

안녕하세요~!

A Troublesome Lover

The latest addiction of the nail polish world is magnetic nail polish.

A couple brands has their own magnetic polish but the one most known about is Sally Hansen Magnetic Nail Polish.

I received the one in the color Ionic Indigo, a dark navy color.

This nail polish makes it easy to create a nail design without any of the struggle.

But it can be troublesome to the few who have curve finger nails.... like I do. 

Now it's not a bad product, not at all.

I truly am in love with this product but the magnet can be tricky to use.

It is simple to use with basic 1-2-3-4 steps.

First step: Paint one coat of nail polish and let it dry

This is what it looks like with the first coat dry. 

It is pretty all on it's own without the magnetic design effect.

Second Step: Paint a THICK coat of nail polish

(Tip: If you have curve nails paint 1/2 of your nails at a time since if you paint all at once you won't get your whole nail the design.)

Third Step: Once painted immediately hold the magnet over the wet polish.

 Now it has this curve stand where you place it where your cuticles are at.

(Tip: Be careful since there are magnetic particulars that will rise to the magnet and stain the magnet . Keep a watch out for that.)

Fourth Step: Paint a coat of clear nail polish and wah-la~!

You have magnetic design nails~!

It really looks good with a bight neon accent nail too~!

Now this is not something that you can do quickly it does take time to do this. You can do the first step all at once but second step you have to do it one at a time.

It takes time so best time to do this is when you are watching some good Korean dramas..... *cough*Gentleman's Dignity*cough* ^.-

Pros: Awesome nail design without the trouble and last a REALLY long time without any chipping.

Cons: Have to take your time and can't do it right before you leave. Also the price is expensive for a drugstore brand nail polish.

Final Answer: Buy it if you have the patience~! It is a good buy to add to you nail polish collection. I love it and I planned on buying the maroon color next~!

Unexpected Shopping~!

This is how I feel whenever I find make-up on sale~!

(or basically anything that I like in this world for a lower price ~heehee~...)

I love when I get that feeling knowing I spend my money more wisely.

(But I still spend too much money still even if it's on sale.... so really there's no difference ~heeheee~. Truly it is the greatness/power of being the baby girl of the family and also having the love of shopping~!)

Over a four day period I kinda went into a make-up coma where I only thought of make-up.
(Actually now I'm keep looking at Korean/Japanese make-up and making a list of what to buy in the future >.<)
 Now I didn't know that I would be buying all these at first but when I saw those sale stickers the puppy eyes came out full force~! 

FYI~Plain and simple~ I am spoiled but so is my older brother. He is into video games/boy items while I'm the baby girl or as my brother calls me 'Princess of the family' who loves anything cute/girly/pink. That's why my blog is 공주Kimmy/Gongju Kimmy. Gongju means Princess in Korean. Now you know some more info about me <((^o^)


Anyway let me stop babbling and show you what I got~ Off we goooo~ Weeee~


~DAY 1~
I went to the grand opening to the Ulta that was built close by just because they were giving free stuff away but I end up getting a few things also though. I love the workers there because they don't keep bothering you while you shop unless you ask. Plus they were so kind and all truly happy not a fake happy.

~This is what I brought the NYX The Crimson Amulet Collection inspired by the movie Dark Shadows palette, NYX Jumbo pencil in Milk, NYX Crystal Gold Glitter Liner, Essence Nail Polish in Sweet as Candy, and Essence Fancy False Eyelashes.~

~Here are the pretty eyeshadows from the palette~

~The Blush/Highlight, Lipgloss/Lipsticks, eye primers and eyeliner from the palette. Also with how to do the characters' looks in the movie.~

~These are the free items and the are really big for free samples. From Left to Right: Ulta Body Wash, Two eyeliners in 'Moss' (Which one was from my mom's free baggy but she doesn't wear eyeliner so she gave me hers), hairspray, and blowdryer hair mist. 

~DAY 2~

I went to CVS so my mom could scan some pictures to put on her facebook -.- She is in love with facebook I tell you~! But anywhooo~ I saw those stickers for 50% to 75% off and went coocoo for cotton candy XD!

You can bet when you see those stickers like in my mind it will keep saying "MUST BUY OR SOMEONE ELSE WILL TAKE IT FROM YOU~ DON'T LET THEM GET YOUR BABIES!" 

~This only cost me $29 and I saved $49 so it would have been over $78... yea I got a good deal don't you think~

~DAY 3~

The next I went to the Dollar Tree with my mom because she wanted to get a bucket for her mop. I just wonder around and I found the make-up section and I found these babies!

~This is ELF Studio Line except the foundation brush which would cost $3-$4 on their website which is not a big deal but everything was a $1 at the store. So I basically just took one of every ELF product they had~

~Up close of  ELF's Studio Cream Eyeshadows, I really like the silver one in the left bottom corner~

~Another up close but this time of ELF's Studio regular eyeshadows~

~I also got cu-cu-cuuute coloring books and two head bands and hair clips. I love pretty hairbands~!~

~DAY 4~

I went to Walmart just to get a new body wash(which smell like pink lemonade but sadly I didn't take a picture of it~ Kimmy sorry~ ;o;). I also picked these up since I also need a new make-up remover. I was going to get something else but I decided to try these since I keep seeing the commercials for this brand. 

~The cleansing one is to use as a make-up remover while the exfoliating is to get dead skins cells off. The reason I decided to get these because it suppose have vitamins in them good for the skin. The cleansing wipes are actually really good!~

~Nail Polish From The Four Days~

I forgot to put these with the proper buying days. Sorry~

~The 3 on the top left I got at the Dollar Tree, The pink one is from Ulta, and the blue is from CVS~

This was what I brought over a four day time period. 

So far I'm loving all my new items. I might do some reviews on the items. Is there any one you all want the most?

Oh~ Before I forget I plan to do a couple make-up tutorials. They are going to be base on SNSD, Big Bang, F(X), and Infinite~! Keep a look out for that~!

X0X0,

Stickers For Nails~?


I am in LOVE~! Can you feel the love tonight~~~! These nail stickers are amazing. No really they are. 
I'm a total nail polish fanatic to the point I have a shelf full of nail polish that is still growing. When I received this nail sticker at first I was really "Are these really going to stay on? This is a joke right? But at least it's sparkly glitter."




The truth is at first it was difficult to put them on with it keep failing about. After the third finger it became really easy to do. It's became a simple 1-2-3 step with these stickers afterwards.

 What is also great is that they do come in 8 different sizes from tiny itty pinkie nails to huge thumb nails. No matter what nails you have they should fit unless you have really big nails then.... um I don't know >.<

The package also came with a cuticle nail stick and a nail file/smoother. I also used the cuticle stick to press down the nail sticker into the edges better. 
While it says in the directions to use the nail filer to trim off the extra it's better to use a pair of small scissors. The nail file is not that handy and you can accidentally shave off more then what you wanted to.

Here is a nail sticker with a regular nail polish nail. It looks so shiny doesn't it~! Here's a tip for people who have short nails like me: You can actually use one nail sticker for 2 nails~!!! Yup you actually be able to have more usage then using them all at once. Now if you have long nail then 1 sticker per nail is the best way to go.
Another Tip: Put a top coat over to make it last longer. I'm already a week in and it has not chip or fade while the regular nail polish has already been chipping away.




Final Answer:
I want more, more and more... pretty please~! They live up to their name of being nail polish stickers. What's even better they come in different designs from flowers to lace. What ever you are into they will have it. This product is another love for my nail polish world~*sigh*~!
