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~!

Sally Hansen Salon Effects

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



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*~!
