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.

NOTW~ Valentines Day "Love Heart Sweets" Nails

Well this week i tried doing "Love Heart Sweet" nails, simply cause of two reasons.

1. I was entering a nail art contest.
2. I thought it would tag along nice with the recent launch of the new MUA Love Hearts Range.

I used my 4 new polishes i got yesterday , from the love hearts range. And another shade from MUA's £1 range, Yes only one pound :) I also used my Sally Hansen nail strenghner which i also got yesterday, I'll be reviewing it in a few weeks when I've had time to see if it works.
So heres a picture of what it all turned out like.

Thought I'd jazz up the picture with a packet of love hearts ;)

Not my most favourite design ever but It'll do till next Sunday. Any ideas of what i could do on my nails next week ? Or any ideas what i can blog about next?

Thanks for Reading
