SensatioNAILs

Hello Ladies Today I have for you a review for SensatioNail Gel Magnetic Polish. The gel kept my nails from breaking when they are long because my nails are so thin. Though I found that I had to be extra careful while applying the gel because if you get it on your skin or your cuticle number one it looks bad and number two it doesn't feel great when you are curing it in the led lamp and if you want to keep it on you don't want it to look bad.

This is the starter kit it comes with Gel Cleanser, Gel Primer, Gel Base & Top Coat, Color Gel Polish, LED Lamp, Lint-free Wipes, Double-sided Nail Buffer and a wood manicure stick. 

Here are the actual how to:
1. File and Lightly buff the natural nail.
2. Using the Lint-Free Wipe, Clean nails with Gel Cleanser.
3. Apply one thin layer of Gel Primer to nail and air dry.
4. Apply a thin layer of the Gel Base & Top Coat, avoiding skin and cuticles. Cure for 30 seconds.
5. Apply a thin and even layer of the Magnetic Gel Polish, avoiding skin and cuticles. Cap the natural nail and cure for 90 seconds.
6. Apply a second layer of Magnetic Gel Polish, and immediately place magnet over nail for 10 seconds until design appears. Cure for 90 seconds.
7. Apply a thin layer of the Gel Base & Top Coat, avoiding skin and cuticles. Cap nail and cure for 30 seconds.
8. Finish by removing the moisture layer with gel cleanser and lint-free wipes.

Magnetic Gel Polish in Tantalize comes with the magnet which as you can see in the next few pictures that I had a bit of trouble with placement of the magnet...I followed the instructions to a T. I found that you had to work really fast when putting on the first coat of magnet polish or it would shrink. The second coat you placed the magnet over it and cure it. I was only doing one nail at at that point because you have to work fast so it takes a bit of time but it's worth it!

Day one

Day Seven you can see the growth but other than that it's still shiny as the first day I put it on!

Day Twelve- as you can see the growth and on my index finger I had some lifting which I believe is from my typing and tapping of nails that I seem to do...well it was just lifting until I noticed and then it turned out like you see above. It probably stayed for a few more days but I can't stand lifting even if it's one day or twelve and I tend to pick.

For removal SensatioNail has a removal kit or you can soak in 100% pure acetone. I used the method of Soaking cotton balls in acetone and putting them on my nails with aluminum foil holding them on. Removal was a bit tougher then what I thought it would be (I started with my left hand) and kept it on for about 12 minutes...it needed longer (on my right hand it came off easier--you live you learn) and after I scrapped with the wooden manicure stick I put my cotton balls back on with more acetone. Voila clean nails just like I left them before I put on gels. My nails are thin so I was a little worried it would mess up or ruin my nails nope no harm done!

This picture is showing you my nails with just the Gel Base & Top Coat on I wore this for a week before taking it off and doing the Magnetic Gel set. It is really easy to remove it as it just flakes off (I put the cotton ball soaked in acetone on my finger with the aluminum foil).

I really do recommend this if you want stronger nails all you have to do is skip  adding color process. Maybe you are going away on vacation I think this would be perfect. 
SensatioNail has a few basic colors that you can find here on their web page. Find them on Facebook here, Twitter here, and Pinterest here

Purple magnetic!

Hi all today I have for you House of Parliament. This time I tried the magnets different ways...I was trying out the China Glaze magnet for it but it didn't seem to work with it to well. I did try a thicker coat thinking it needed more magnet stuff to catch it because to be honest I would love for this purple to have a star on it! So instead I tried turning the top (magnet that comes with it) sideways for something else and found I liked it! So as the directions say this has a base coat of HoP that you let dry then a thick coat of HoP then the magnet immediately!



I love the purple!
How are you feeling about magnetic's?

Magnet time!

Hello everyone! I recently got the magnet from China Glaze for Magnetic Polish so I took it out for a test run! I put on one thin coat of Nails Inc. (per instructions from here) . I then started with my pinkie with a thick coat and held the magnet over it for 15-25 seconds. Some of the nails didn't work as you might be able to tell in the pictures with some error I found out that if it doesn't work the first time try to add a bit more polish and start over with the magnet. I read (from another blogger) if you blow slightly on your nail it will stop the magnet from spreading back out...and that did help!



With a little more practice I think I will get the hang of this!
I did show you the instructions for Nails Inc. and those work great last time I tired it with the magnet it came with. This time how ever was me winging it! I will try next time I do magnetic polish doing it the way China Glaze instructs.
I now have 3 magnetic colors Trafalgar Square- steal , House of Parliament- purple, and (China Glaze) Pull Me Close- metallic blue..all are very pretty!

What is your favorite magnetic polish right now?

My First Nails Inc.(Halloween)

HI all!!!! SO I have heard of Nails Inc. London for years and drooled over them for awhile. When I heard that Nails Inc. was coming to Sephora I jumped on the site so quickly...I found what I had searched for/wanted since late April.... Magnetic Polish! I said to myself (and a few friends) this is going to knock crackle out of the park! I received Trafalgar Square for my birthday ^_^ (with Houses of Parliament which is a to die for purple!). So today I have Trafalgar Square which is a wonderful "chrome" color! Now I have noticed that it is a little trial and error when it comes to doing the magnetic part of the nails but it turns out darn awesome when it is done correctly! Hit or miss this is just beautiful to me! 

Let's start with my ring finger I wanted this to be a Halloween run for a GAGA look I wanted to try out! So my ring finger has 3 coats (the polish is a little on the thin side) of Barielle Out-Grey-Geous which is a beautiful Silver with a shimmer of gold to it. then for my GaGa umph I added rhinestones in black and magenta! Now to my beauty TS was 2 coats just like the instructions say...one coat as a base then a thick coat over the base...do all your nails with the first color coat then one nail at a time you do a thick coat then immediately using the magnet (I held it there for the count of 30-50). And Viola! I know my index doesn't look right and I truly don't know what went wrong...but I will be wearing the purple (Houses of Parliament) next so we will see how that goes! Enough!!! on to the pictures!




Yes I know there isn't but a few but to get the sun to come out today I snapped a few very quickly and was surprised that I got 3 to show up! My inspiration was Lady GaGa's Born This Way album cover.
