Magnetic Bottle Green

Here comes another one, just like the other ones.  As you can see, the team at Nail Art and More have come through with great customer service and shipped my missing bottle green magnetic polish in record time.

This polish is truly amazing.  The rich green colour that comes through with the magnet is just awesome.  And another thing, this is just one coat!!  Yep how is that for pigment. Also wear on these is great.  I had a massive cleaning day today, including steam cleaning the front of all the kitchen cupboards and the splash back.  I didn't wear any gloves and I'm so happy cause I only have a tiny bit of tip wear, no chips nothing! 

Not great swatches as the sun was a little shy today.

This polish dries really fast, and one thing I have learnt with these magnetic polishes is that you need to apply a thickish coat and quickly apply the magnet.  Otherwise it dries too fast and you don't get the full effect of the design anywhere that is already dry.

I've just noticed on their site that they are now selling these polishes in mini 5ml bottles (4.75€) as well as the 11ml ones (8.95€) and you can take 20% off those prices because they include tax. Given the excellent pigmentation in these, you could certainly be happy with a mini bottle.

Orly - Enchanted Forest

I have a lovely green polish for you to look at today, Enchanted Forest. This is one of the polishes from the 'Once Upon A Time' collection Orly released in 2009. The bottles came with cute charms, but I got my bottle without one *cries*. I know, I know.. it's just a charm, right? At least the bottle cap has some silver glitter (fairy dust?) on it. :O Enchanted Forest is a dark green creme. It's slightly dusty and a little bit more blue toned than yellow toned. I must say I like my greens to be more on the blue side, so this one is just fabulous. Love it.

The application was ok. The first coat was awfully streaky, but with two more coats and a topcoat it was perfect.

Thanks for watching! And to all my new followers: welcome! *waves* :D
