Nails Inc. Magnetic Nail Polish

Admittedly when the whole concept of magnetic nail polish first emerged, i was a bit ‘whatever’ about it. However, Nails Inc. may have changed my mind.
Earlier in the week i had a ‘magnetic manicure‘ using two of the three Nails Inc magnetic polishes. Here are the results.

They look awesome. I love the effect and i noticed the end result was different on most of the girls having the same manicure. Apart from the actual magnetic effect, i love the high gloss finish, they make my nails look as though they are in much better condition than they actually are. Application is the same as all nail polishes, apart from, after the second coat you just hold a magnet over the wet polish (the magnet is attached to the bottle cap). I was assured it was simple to do!

Trafalgar Square (deep metal silver), Houses of Parliament (dark aubergine) and Big Ben (gold) are huge sellers, so if you are tempted then the online Nails Inc store might be the best place to find them, £1 of each purchase is donated to the Princes Trust.

Magnetic Nails Are Taking Off

Not an entirely new concept, but about to make a bit of a come back – Magnetic Nails. Quite a few large brands have ranges launching this summer. These make a nice alternative to plain nails, adding a slight twist without the design overload. The polishes below are from LCN, available in 8 shades at £8,65 each.

The technology in the polish works a bit like the old ‘iron filings’ i remember playing with in science class. Just in case you were interested (I found it quite fascinating), there is something in the polish that reacts with the magnet lifting up these patterns!

It’s simple to use, apply the polish, wave the shaped magnet over the top and you have some pretty interesting looking nails!
