Throwback - First Magnetic Mani

Hello, Fireflies!

This month's NCC theme is to go back to our first 4 nail art manis and either recreate them, or use them as inspiration for an updated look.

The first nail art I have a picture of was this gem.  It's a China Glaze magnetic polish, but I don't remember the name.  Oy.  Oy, oy, oy.  Yeah.

I still like magnetics, but I really haven't worn them since then, so even though I've had lots of practice painting my nails, I had zero practice with the magnetic doohicky.  My first recreation got scrapped.  Right away.

Then, I picked this gorgeous copper magnetic from Finger Paints, Cop An Attitude.

Just a beautiful color, both alone and with the magnetic effect.  I really like it.

I emphasized the magnetic wave with a thin chevron black tip using Wet 'n Wild Black Creme.

Do you still rock an old-school magnetic mani?

China Glaze Magnetix - Pull me Close

The first mani I shared on Facebook, and here - a magnetic diagonal line.  The magnetic mani is nothing new, but I'd never done one before.  Well, this was the 2nd try, I think.  You have to be careful not to get the magnet *too* close, or you'll get polish on it.  Not close enough, and the design doesn't come through.  I think your best bet is to put one thin layer of polish on, let it dry, then apply the 2nd layer and use the magnet on one nail at a time.

Even if you don't use the magnet, the polish is really pretty, and China Glaze makes a nice polish.
