Magnetic Polish!!




this stuff is freakin golden!! mag-neat-O!! haha. I absolutely loveee magnetic polish.  I first bought the Nails Inc magnetic polish at Sephora.  I ordered it online when I first heard about it.  It’s $16 for the Nails Inc (London) brand. I was very happy to find out that Layla Cosmetics (Italy) also made magnetic polish. I was very surprised to find out that a local beauty store carried it! It’s about the same price, $15.50 and has many different colors, whereas Sephora only made a silver, gold, and purple. Here are the links to both brands:

Amazon also carries both =D.

P.S., Nails Inc has a magnet that is attached to an extra top cap that you can remove, while Layla Magneffect has the magnet is attached to the actual cap. Each magnet produces different designs.  The Nails Inc design has a wavy looking design, and the Magneffect has a more linear design.  I love them both! And, you can mix/match the magnets with the polish.

Pink Cherry Blossom Nails

This is the second time I’ve done cherry blossoms. I just loveee Cherry blossoms hehe.


I painted the branches with a small art paintbrush. My paintbrush was kinda old so it didn’t really turn out as good as the first time I did em.  Then I painted the little blossoms using a dotting tool.
