Tutorial : Barry M Magnetic Nail Polish!

Ekkkk! I'm in love with the new Barry M magnetic nail polish so much. I tried it out for the first time this afternoon and its like magic! It's only £4.99 from Superdrug , and i think Boots aswell. So here's the effect i got.....

This is the first time I've used magnetic nail polish before , but after hearing great things about it on Blogger and youtube, then Barry M bringing out their own i thought I'd give it a shot. I'm quite impressed with the results.

Okay so I'm not going to turn this into a review , I'll probably do that at the end of the week once I've had a full use of this great new product. So here's how to get magnetic nails......

Apply a base coat, here I'm using Sally Hansen Diamond Strength Instant Nail Hardener. I always use 2 coats of base coat because it gives the nails twice the amount of protection.

Once the base coat is completely dry, obviously, apply a thin coat of the Barry M Magnetic nail polish. The shade I'm using is "Magnetic Red". Let that completely dry before moving onto the next step.

Excuse the messy application, that's why i use cotton buds and nail polish remover for ;)

Okay so this is were the magic part comes in, apply another coat of the Barry M Magnetic nail polish, i would recommend thickish and immediately after hold the magnet above the nail. The easiest way to do it is paint a nail , hold magnet , paint a nail ect.ect. 

You hold the magnet above the nail by placing the curved part below the cuticle , so where the skin meets the cuticle. So that the gold design on the magnet is facing away from the cuticle.

So repeat that on each nail and wait for it to dry, then add a topcoat and your done! I'll show you my magnetic nails.

Mini Haul!

I've been meaning to do this post for a few days now , and i haven't blogged in about a week so I'm definitely going to start getting back into posting daily! :) 

So on Thursday i was in town , and i got 3 things. See i told you it was a mini haul;) So i only got one thing from Superdrug, i got one of the new Barry M Magnetic nail polishes , it was £4.99 i got it in the shade "Magnetic Red"

 

I'm going to be trying it out tomorrow so I'll probably post about it tomorrow evening.

Then i went to this little stall thing and it sells discontinued makeup and nail polishes , or just makeup or nail polish that has had its packaging changed and stuff like that. It also does brushes , fake tan , fake nails all that sort of stuff.

I was amazed when i found the Sally Hansen Diamond Strength Instant Nail Hardener! Especially when it was only £1.99 , at Boots its £8.99. I jumped at the chance and thought I'd get it as i heard it was meant to be quite good, can't wait to review it!

Then i found another great bargain! At the same stall i bought the nail hardener , i managed to find the Collection 2000 Perfecting Minerals Foundation. It was in the old packaging, but i still got it anyways. When Collection ( They changed their name) announced they were bringing back the Perfecting Minerals Foundation, but in new packaging i googled it , as you do ;) and heard some great things about it.
