Essie's magnetic nail polish! *Review*

So I am a little late in picking up this nail polish, mostly because I have tried other magnetic polishes and was just very hesitant because I didn't like the way they turned out (mainly because my nail beds are long as is, so imagine when they are grown out). Besides the overall outcome of the polish, the price is around $11, depending on where you buy it, I usually don't buy polishes that pricey unless I know it'll be worth it.

So without further a do, let's get into it...

 

 

Now, there really was no "good" way of taking this picture, I tried to capture the design as best I could but overall, it looks better in person. This is in the color "SSSSSSexy." Essie's version of this magnetic nail design is suppose to be representative of snake skin, and like I stated before it's hard for me to get this whole magnet thing down because my nails are so long, so the print comes off a little uneven.

So far I do like it, would I purchase this in other colors? Probably not just because of the price. I think it's definitely something I need in my collection but not something I need to be splurging on to have every color, because I do have about 4-5 other magnetic nail polishes (one from China Glaze, a couple from Claire's, etc). This makes me want to reach back for those polishes and try to experiment to see if I can get them working.

This is just day one of using this polish so I'm not sure how long the wear is, but I did not put a top coat on because in past experiences it tended to smear the design. I would imagine they stay as long as other Essie polishes though.

Thanks for checking out this post. Have a great week!! xoxo



St. Patrick's Day nails!

China Glaze's "Graffiti Glitter" and then a small clover for the accent nail. St. Patrick's Day is probably my least favorite to do nail designs because I'm pretty terrible at creating clovers, I did pretty good for this one though.

March PopSugar Box 2013!!

I was excited to see jewelry and make up items in this months box!

 

 First is a laundry detergent used for denim jeans, this helps to wash your jeans without ruining them or fading the color. (Retail price: $19)

This Heather Belle necklace will go great this year with layered looks. (Retail price: Unsure, some are saying anywhere from $70-80)

 

This is cute, I have never opened a wine bottle but if I was a server at my job I would carry this with me. (Retail price: $15.99)

These are nice, from the collection (I think) "Pardon my French." It is a deep blue and cream/grey color. I've seen these at Urban Outfitters and I think Sephora, I never thought to buy it because the bottles are so tiny. (Retail price: $10)

This is something I was really excited for! Buxom mascara, I haven't tried anything from the Buxom line and really want to try their lip glosses next. I'll let you all know how I like this mascara. (Retail price: $19)

They also included a coupon code to get a deluxe size same of this lip gloss. Code: BUXOMPOP (enter online at the checkout).

This is used to remove anything stuck to your sweaters, jackets and blankets without ruining them. (Retail price: $6)

And last but not least, the extras. I guess this wouldn't say Spring unless they included some marshmellow peeps. They also included a sample pack of fashion tape so you don't have any wardrobe malfunctions, that could be embarassing.

Overall guestimated value of this box: $140
