Tigers Eye nails

This is another nameless Pretty Woman Magnetix polish from Rite Aid. I used the swirl magnet that came with it and I think it looks pretty close to a Tigers Eye. Soooo cool!! My only beef with these colors are that the magnets aren't that strong.





Here's a comparison of the Pretty Woman bar magnet to the China Glaze bar magnet. See how much more vibrant the pattern is on the China Glaze one?

China Glaze Magnetix: Pull Me Close

Man, I still can't get enough of these magnetic polishes, I don't think I'll ever get sick of them. This is Pull Me Close from the China Glaze Magnetix line. It's a gray-ish blue color. I used the China Glaze magnet arrow design for this mani. I'm a bit disappointed in the pattern, it's not really an arrow, but it still looks cool. The magnet is nice and strong, so I got a good clear pattern.

Milani Jewel FX: Hot Pink

Hot Pink is another one of the new Jewel FX polishes that Milani just released. It's a mixture of dark pink and holo silver hex glitter in a clear base. I decided to layer it over my Pure Ice Heartbreaker mani from the other day.





I just got this email from Milani:


I've picked up Red, Hot Pink, Teal, and Lavender. I've seen Fuchsia, but have not seen any of the others yet.

OPI: Metallic 4 Life

Metallic 4 Life is from the Nicki Minaj collection. Here's what I did and didn't like about it.
Likes:
I adore all the different sizes of glitter
The glitter is very visible, it doesn't get "lost" in the black base
Dislikes:
It's very chippy, like I'm lucky to get an entire day out of it without at least one nail chipping on me.
My Verdict
The color, even though annoyingly chippy is still a win. I just love the different shaped hexes!




Now to me, the 1st thing that popped into my head when I wore it was that it was the silver version of Fortune Teller. I'm not totally off base, but they are definitely different. Here's a comparison of the two:

Pure Ice: Heartbreaker

I have been after this color ever since I saw this post from The Swatchaholic. Heartbreaker is a shimmer suspended in a milky clear base, the shimmer shifts from blue to green. It reminds me of the color morphing pigments. Check out in the picks how my index finger is blue but by the time you get to my pinkie its green. Love this! This is one coat layered over Eleese purple.

Milani Jewel FX: Teal

Here's another new Milani Jewel FX color, this is called Teal. Teal is a mixture of teal micro glitter and larger blue, green and silver holo hexes in a clear base. This is two coats over LA Girls grey cream.

Pretty Woman Magnetix: Green Glitter

I'm soooo obsessed magnetic polish right now. I've always ♥'d the Star Magnets, but I'm so happy that they've come up with different designs now. This poor guy doesn't have a name, it's a mixture of gold glitter in a green base. I really like the addition of glitter to a magnetic polish.

For this pick, I actually used the China Glaze magnet because the bars were closer together.

LA Girl Glitter Addict: Celebrate

I so ♥♥♥ this color! I found this puppy at Rite Aid and I just had it get it. It's a mixture of silver, red, pink, teal and blue hex and micro glitters in a clear base. Awesome! and I'll be using this for 4th of July mani for sure. I used Milani Black Cherry as the base. I love the vampy red base with this glitter.

OPI: Save Me

So, do we know? Did the grounghog see his shadow? It's been a pretty mild winter in Michigan so far, so I can take the news ☺

Save Me is from the Niki Minaj collection. It's a clear base filled with silver micro glitter and different colored holo bar glitter. There's blue, yellow, green, red, orange...I'm not a huge fan of bar glitter, but when I saw this in person, I was surprised how much I liked it. The bars are nice and thin and don't overpower, and I think that's what I like about it.



Here is a nice closeup:


The base color is Fresh Paint Olive You. I found this color at 5 Below, I've never heard of the brand before....

NYX Girls: Super Funk

So, I hate it say it, but this color disappointed me. Super Funk is a mixture of different sized fuchsia-y purple glitter in a clear base.....sounds awesome on paper, but the issue is the glitter is so sparse that you have to D I G just to get any onto the brush. I added SF to my previous Funky Fingers mani here. If there were more glitter in the bottle, I'd really like it....
