Wavy Gravy!

Hi Readers!  Since it's winter here in Wisconsin it's too cold for ice cream so this wavy gravy will have to be something else!  How about a delicious magnetic manicure?!!!  I'm really loving all my magnetic polishes so far and this one is simply stunning!  A gorgeous dark vampy wine!

For $5 a bottle these Nabi's are really nice.  The only downside to them is they smell awful!  Burt's Bee's Lemon Butter doesn't even help!  Oh well the price of  beauty is well worth the stink!

As you can see on my swear finger aka middle I touched the magnet to the polish and I used the magnet from one of my Icing's for this as the chevron design on the Nabi's doesn't wrap around enough on my curved nails.


Here's a nice close up though--so dark and vampy I just love it!

I tried to live with the mess up not bothering me but it was! SO I decided to haul out my Brett Favre franken and do some covering up

Brett Favre is a franken I made intending the old Mardi Gras look green, gold, purple.  My first attempt at it I did not like and I said "ug this is so ugly only a Minnesota Viking's fan would like it"  since if was a fail and since I'm a Packer fan and you don't screw with the Packers by signing with the Vikings and did I mention it was ugly and huge fail so I named it Brett Favre! Not accepting defeat I went in and revamped it and then loved it.  I decided to stick with the name though lol!
Here's a bottle shot of Brett Favre

He's a mix of micro green, gold and purple glitters and then some large gold hexes.

I like this glitter tips look with the magnetic polish!
Here's a pic of the polishes I used--pretty straightforward lol!

How do you feel about these magnetic polishes readers??  Do you love them, hate them or are you over them--OR do you need them all like me and my friend Amy from I'm Feeling Nail Venterous?


Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you all have a fantastic day!

I'm so attracted to . . . Magnetix!

Hi Readers!  Today I'm rocking another one of my Icing Magnetix polishes.  Lucky for me I have a polish "wifey"  I am way to smart and will not brave the mall swell and drive miles away to hit up Mayfair Mall and its Icing store.  Lori has gotten me several things from Icing when she goes--she totally knows I'm going to love something and texts me when she's there lol!  She picked up both the raspberry and the green/gold one for me a few weeks ago.  Today I put on the gold one and LOVE it!  What I don't love about it is getting the magnet cap too close and sticking it on your nails!  You can see I did that a couple times on my nails here

As cool as it looks here it still bothers me a bit so I decided to stamp on it!

I love how this turned out!  You can see the awesome abstract design AND the magnetic effect of the polish!

Here's a nice close up--check out that sparkle!

To get this look after painting my nails with two coats of the gold Icing Magnetix I used the striped magnet to get the design then stamped with Kleancolor Black using BM203.
So far I've been quite successful stamping on magnetic polishes.  I have 2 more left in my arsenal and am hoping to grab up a couple China Glaze ones soon.  What do you think readers?  Do you like the stamping over the polish or would it be better left plain?


Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you all have a fantastic day!

Frugality at it's finest!

Hi Readers!  I guess I'm not really using the word frugal correctly here but I didn't want to say lazy lol!  Sundays we stamp in our facebook group Adventures In Stamping.  The challenge for Sunday was to use an image plate ending in the number 7.  I have a few sets of plates but was loving my Magnetix raspberry polish so much I couldn't part with it SO I pulled out my trusty M57 and went with the zebra print over my Magnetix!!!!  OMG LOVE!

What I love about it is you can still the magnetic design through the stamping!
I love holding them up like this and looking at them

Here's a flash close up!

I am just loving these Magnetix by Icing!  Right now I feel like I need every single magnetic polish in the world!


So another two for the price of one today--gorgeous underwear with cool stamping AND a plate ending in 7!  Win Win!!!!


Have you ever extended the wear on your current mani but adding something to it readers?? If yes what did you do to give it new life?


Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you all have a fantastic day!

My humble apology magnetic nail polish!

Hi Readers!  I'm here today with a humble apology to magnetic nail polish.  A few months ago when it was first hitting the shelves I had a few friends saying oooh these are so cool you should try these--do you want me to get you a couple?  And I said no they don't really do anything for me.  Then a few months went by and I hear China Glaze is coming up with magnetics and I start to feel like I'm getting sucked in AND then I see this post from nailXchange and BAM I'm blown out of the water!  I say to myself stamping and magnetic polish are you kidding me???!  I've admired her a long time but I sort of wanted to marry her after that post.  So here I am today with a humble apology to magnetic nail polish.  I'm sorry for ever doubting you!
My wonderful friend Lori gets me stuff all the time--I'll get texts from her saying I'm at so and so and do you want me to pick this up for you?  Icing is one of those stores I just don't want to go to.  I'm sorry readers but it's a 40 minute drive to the Icing store and then I'm fighting mall traffic and I just do not want to do it.  Lucky for me Lori doesn't feel the same way lol!  She picked me up the raspberry and olive green Magnetix polishes from there and I LOVE THEM!  I had 100 percent planned to stamp on this one but nope I just couldn't do it.  The first one I decided to try is the raspberry colored one.  Check it out!

This is a shot I actually took in bed last night lol!  The low light from the lamp beside my bed really lit up the polish so I took a few pics--this is just so gorgeous to me!
Here's another one look at all that sparkle!

I just cannot get enough of the this polish!

I feel SO bad for ever doubting it, I really hope it can forgive me.

This is what I love about it--it looks like nail art on your nails but you don't even have to do anything!  You simply hold the magnet above the polish and the design forms--I even went as far as to say I may never stamp again lol!  Don't worry I'm sure by tomorrow I won't be feeling that way lol!


Here's the only pic I got of it in natural light indoor light--harder to see the shimmer but still really pretty

Here's ring I made with the gold/olive green one.  It turned out great!

How are you feeling about this magnetic polishes readers?? Are you on board with them, definitely not into them, or owing them an apology???


Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you all have a fantastic day!
