Battle of the Magnetics

 So look what came in the mail! My New Julep Maven Box, and I had been waiting so long to get try a magnetic nail polish that I already went and bought one by Nails Inc. at Sephora. So now I get to test and compare both magnetics! The Maven box also came with 2 other colours and a pedi creme.

  The Nails Inc colour is called "Trafalgar Square" and the Julep colours are; "Ashley"(the gold), "Parker"(the copper) and "Kylie"(the magnetic purple).

 So let's start the battle!

 So obviously you can see the winner already: nails inc. wins! I had tried the "Kylie" before and the lines showed up more so then this time, I don't know what happened. I followed the instructions as directed: apply 1st coat and let set, then apply a generous 2nd coat and then quickly hold magnet over nail for 10-15 seconds. I kinda got one line on each nail, but they are very faint.

The  "Trafalgar Square" polish goes on nicely, this is 1 coat in the pic. I held the magnet over for 30 seconds and got super thin, defined lines. This magnet is attached into the cap and has a little edge on it so you can press it to your finger and not touch your nail, which is better then the Julep wand as I have very shaky hands when I do my own polish. I had held it on before on a 1st try of it and got thicker ones because I only held it over for 10 seconds.   The lines move around like those "3D" photos you can get where they transform into something else: they move up and get thicker and thinner depending on the angle you are looking at them. 

The "Ashley" and "Parker" were nice, the pic is a bit crappy, I just did 1 quick coat on my nails to see the colours. I'm never a big fan of orange but I do like the yellow, I would like to put some darker gold, maybe the gold from last month's Julep Maven box over and see how it looks.

And finally I tried "The best Pedi Creme Ever!"  and it really is! it has cucumber in it and is very nice smelling, it soaks in pretty quickly and has a very awesome cooling sensation. I'm used to using foot creams that heat up because my feet always hurt, but this is a nice switch up.

Well 'till next post: Mike and Sonya's Shag

I hope someone enjoys the shag prize I donated to them!
