We Lacked The Magnetix Connection

Hello my beautiful readers!

I hope everyone had an amazing weekend. My weekend was fantastic! I can just hope that from here on out, things pick up.

On Friday, my sister surprised me with some polishes from the China Glaze Magnetix collection. I could not wait to try them out! Without further ado...

This is Drawn to You with the magnet.

As you can see, there are three different designs.

This is Drawn To You. 

I did one finger at a time.

First, I used one coat of polish and quickly put the magnet to it.

I count to 10 seconds then moved on to the next nail.

I put a topcoat on and the image just seemed to fade.

I used the diagonal magnet. 

This one is Instant Chemistry.

I love love the color. 

I used the star magnet and it just seemed off.

The color is great but the magnet was not.

Cling On.

This polish reacted the best to the magnet. The image was crisp and super clear.

I just need to practice with the placement.

My overall thoughts on this collection?

I am disappointed.

I love China Glaze but I am not loving this.

Either the polish doesn't have enough iron

or

the magnet isn't strong enough.

I could't tell you why this polish fails compared to others.

I will not be purchasing any other colors from this collection.

What do you think of this polish?

Any tips on getting it to work?

Freshly Picked

Hello my lovelies!!

It's about that time that I crawl out from under my seasonally depressed rock. The winter just really bums me out! I really did try hard to update everyday. I took pictures of my manicure but just never posted them! I'll post them as time goes on.

Today's nail art features juicy red strawberries *smacks lips* YUM!

Ew my cuticles look horrible!! They don't look like that in person!

Base: China Glaze Hey Sailor

Acrylic Paint

See!! The cuticles don't look horrible here.

Anyways, these nails cheered up my day!

It started off dark and rainy.

I am just happy that it's getting warmer

and the days are getting longer!

Lump Off!

Hey amores!

I hope everyone is well. I have been loving this weather we've been having. The only downfall of having a snowless winter is that I haven't been able to go sledding or tubing yet. A few days ago it was in the 60s here!!!! I am craving Spring and Summer!

Today I have for you Lumpy Space Princess and some Lumpy Space People.

Melissa, Lumpy Space Princess, Brad.

Melissa had an accident with my desk. 

She got smudged and somehow resembles Kirby.

This was a lot of fun to do and I hardly used acrylic paint.

I mainly used nail polish.

WHAT THE LUMP?!

It's Aquadelic baby!

Hola amores!

I hope every had a great weekend. This weekend was crazy. The people who live above my boyfriend, well, their pipe burst and it started raining in my boyfriend's apartment. We had to go about with an umbrella and rain boots until the property manager came.. It was 4 in the morning!
 I can't believe it's Tuesday already!
Today I have for you a nail swatch. No nail art. I haven't had time.

China Glaze Aquadelic is from the Electro Pop collection. It's a gorgeous aqua creme color. 

I had a bit of a problem applying this but with the second coat it was fine.

It was a bit on the thick side.

I used this as the base for the Adventure Time BMO post.

I don't have much of the Electro Pop collection but I fell in love with them.

I will be getting more.

What colors do you like from the Electro Pop collection?

Until tomorrow!

Battery low, shutdown

Hola Amores!

This week has been tiresome. I had an endoscopy on Wednesday and I had an MRI today. I've been throwing up because of the stuff they have pumped into me. I am just happy that we are one step closer to find out why I have been so sick.

I am continuing with my Adventure Time nail art. There is so much to do I am unsure of when I will be done!

Name: Beemo
Gender: None

Yes, Finn, it goes in my butt.

Base Color: China Glaze Aquadelic

Acrylic Paint

The MRI technician fell in love with my nails. 

She squealed when she saw them.

I hope you enjoyed this manicure!

I love it!

I think my next one will be Lumpy Space Princess and Lumpy Space People.

I am open to suggestions!

Until tomorrow my loves.

What the lump?

Hola amores!

How is everyone doing? I hope everyone is doing well!

Today I have for you an Adventure Time manicure. Just Finn and Jake. I've been completely obsessed with Adventure Time and it really just reminds me of my boyfriend and I. We make adventures out of everything.
I was on pain killers when I did this so it's not the best that I could have done. But I hold it dearly to my heart!
Onwards!!!

Rescue Beauty Lounge: Locavore

Sally Hansen: Brisk Blue

I'm going to be doing an Adventure Time series.. Perhaps the Ice King or Marceline next?

or my favorite??

LUMPY SPACE PRINCESS.

Looove.

I need a better light source. Which lamps are great to use?

I also think I am going to try the light box with a black background. I feel the color will be better.

We shall see.

Until tomorrow amores.

Propane and Propane Accessories!

Hola amores!

I hope everyone is doing well! I have decided that I am going to be doing swatches a lot more now as well as stamping. I love doing freehand nail art but I don't always have time for it. I've been busy recently which is why I have sadly neglected my blog. I am going to try to update it as much as I can.
I love that blogger now has the option to reply to comments left on blogs. It makes it so much easier to respond to you all so make sure to check that out.

Onward to my manicures!!!

Luanne Platter and the Manger Babies.

I only did 2 of the 4 Manger Babies because I was quite exhausted.

The men of Rainy Street.

Boomhauer (who ended up looking like a muppet)

This was a fun series to do. I could have gone on and on but I wanted to move on to another series.

I have so many ideas but I think for the next few days, I will be posting swatches!!

Until tomorrow amores.
