Hi everyone! This is the last of the blue manis from my blue week. This one I'm not so proud of. It looked good for maybe 20 minutes and then I ruined it :-( This is Wet n' Wild Magnetic Don't Break the Circuit.
It looks nice right? Beautiful blue color, strong magnetic stripes. The magnet itself doesn't have a finger rest on it so I accidentally bumped my index finger nail on it but no big deal. It was a small mistake compared to all the trouble I've had with it in the past. The one disappointment I did have was that when I first bought it, the polish looked like it actually had holographic particles in it. But when I worse, I didn't see a one, not in the bottle or my nails. Rite Aid lights fooled me!!
I usually don't take pictures of my nails if the next step is to just topcoat it. If I'm going to be doing more nail art, I might not bother. Something was nagging me about the topcoat step, though, so I decided to heck with it, I'll take pictures! I'm glad I did. My next step was to use Diamond Dry topcoat and this is what happened...
Whaa...? I lost my crisp lines! Maybe it's because I used the topcoat I did, maybe it's because I used a topcoat at all. But I didn't like it. I ended up putting some Revlon Blue Mosaic on the tips as a gradient but I still didn't like it. It came off the next day.
Has this happened to anyone using topcoats and magnetic polishes? I haven't used many magnetics but this was a new one for me.

Where have I been? I didn't even know Wet n Wild had magnetics. Well maybe I didn't know because I have no Rite Aids in my area oh well shucks. Lol! It's a beautiful blue and the lines are really crisp. I wonder what caused the lines to blur out? Was it thoroughly dry before adding on topcoat? Lol! thoses store lights have fooled me lots of times :)
ReplyDeleteHah, goes to show you how behind I am on posting things. They had them a while ago. I'm kind of in a love/hate relationship with magnetics. I want them to look so cool but it's such a struggle for me! Stupid topcoat and stupid C-curve! (the magnet effect doesn't reach the sides of my nails)
