Paint It Pretty Polish Force Field

**press sample

Today is the release of the Paint It Pretty Polish magnetic collection!   I've shared two from the collection already; this is the final one I'll be sharing; Paint It Pretty Force Field!


This is two coats of Paint It Pretty Force Field that were applied and I then waited until they were dry to the touch.  Then applied one thin coat of it on top, then applied cat eye magnet.  


 There were no application or brush issues.  Paint It Pretty Force Field has an indigo blue magnetic shift in a darkened scattered holographic base.


 I did nail art over it; this isn't the stamping that I wanted to do; I originally wanted to do an indigo blue stamp over this base for a tone on tone look.  But my test nail didn't turn out that well, so stamped using an image from Apipila p.19 using MdU 11, then topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.


Paint it Pretty Polish Magnetic Fields and five other magnetic polishes are releasing today; July 20, 2018 and are available here; they will retail for $11; the magnet is also available for $2.  The polishes are 5 Free, Vegan and Cruelty Free; handcrafted in Beamsville, Ontario!

Paint It Pretty Polish Opposites Attract

press sample

I'm cutting it close with Paint It Pretty Polishes release of the magnetic polishes tomorrow here; I tried to upload these pictures yesterday but I could. not. get. them to upload for the life of me.  Hours and hours spent trying. Googled all the tricks and tips on how to do it, tried them but nothing would work. Today is another day and by some Microsoft miracle, they uploaded, so I am able to share them finally. This is Paint It Pretty Opposites Attract!



Started with one coat of OPI Onyx.


Applied one thin coat of Paint It Pretty Polish Opposites Attract.  I again used the cat eye magnet but this time, aimed it towards the cuticle as I was going for the look of aurora borealis.


Love the blue shimmer from the magnetic pull in the grey toned holographic base.  


Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.



Stamped with images from Lina 4 Seasons-Winter 02 using MdU 61 and FunkyFingers Dark Knight.



My favourite finger!


I especially love this pose; the multichrome shift from teal to blue/purple just ties into the borealis look so much!


The polishes as shown are Paint It Pretty Polish Opposites Attract, Magnetic Fields and Force Field.


Paint it Pretty Polish Magnetic Fields and five other magnetic polishes are releasing on Friday July 20, 2018 and are available here; they will retail for $11; the magnet is also available for $2.  The polishes are 5 Free, Vegan and Cruelty Free; handcrafted in Beamsville, Ontario!

Paint It Pretty Polish Magnetic Fields

*press sample

I haven't done a magnetic mani in a long time but looking at this, I wonder why am I not doing them more often???!  I received for review three Paint It Pretty Polish magnetics at Indie Expo Canada 2018. This is one of three polishes that I'll be sharing over the next few days from the collection of six magnetic polishes that Paint It Pretty Polish is releasing on Friday, July 20, 2018 here.  This is Paint It Pretty Polish Magnetic Fields.



I had tried several magnets in test mani's as needed a refresher on how best to use a magnet in a mani as it has been a while since I've done one; I ultimately decided on a cat eye magnet.  Started with a base of one coat of OPI Black Onyx.  Applied one coat of Paint It Pretty Polish Magnetic Fields, then applied magnet close to the polish for maybe 30 seconds.  I absolutely love how the purple flash concentrates although I didn't center the magnet for the cat eye look as well as I wanted but it still turned out pretty cool!  There is a good scattering of holographic in the gray base; I used one coat of black so that the base would be a little darker to enhance the purple flash.  

Same polish, same mani, different lighting.  Note that I tested the polish on swatch sticks before I did this mani to come up with the look I liked best; I found that one coat of the magnetic polish was lots; if thicker coats were applied, it didn't necessarily get more of a flash, just more of a scattering of the holo look. 


After picking an image that would highlight the magnetic polish well, decided to stamp using China Glaze OMG (original version) using an image from Apipila P.14. (My apologies, I just realized now that I am holding another one of the Paint It Pretty magnetics, Opposites Attract, in these pictures.)



Apipila P.14.


Sorry for so many pictures, I just love how interesting the magnetic purple flash takes the mani to a whole other level!



Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.



The polishes as shown are Paint It Pretty Polish Opposites Attract, Magnetic Fields and Force Field.



Paint it Pretty Polish Magnetic Fields and five other magnetic polishes are releasing on Friday July 20, 2018 and are available here; they will retail for $11; the magnet is also available for $2.  The polishes are 5 Free, Vegan and Cruelty Free; handcrafted in Beamsville, Ontario!

Digit-al Dozen Does White; Day 4

Another archived mani, this is another one that I didn't share because the purples didn't match close enough. But if you can look past that, it isn't too bad of a mani, I suppose.  Hey, they can't all be stunners!  Anyway, I'm sharing now; this is my day 4 mani for Digit-al Dozen white challenge.


Started with a base of two coats of Zoya Mira, Painted Polish From Booklyn With Love, and OPI My Boyfriend Scales Wall, no top coat.


Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


Stamped with Moyra 104 My Little Universe using FunkyFingers Gesso and EdK Tuco.

Digit-al Dozen Does White; Day 3

This is a mani that I've had in archives for quite a while; it dates back to September 25, 2016!  I look at it now and I think, pret-ty cool, but in all honestly, the reason why it hasn't been shared is I really wasn't that happy with it at the time!  I do not like my nails in natural light; I never can get the angle just so and wasn't happy about my poor clean up on them but I dunno, they don't seem to bad now a year and a half or so later so I thought, I'm going to share them now!  This is my day 3 mani for the Digit-al Dozen white challenge!



Started with a base of two coats of Nubar Dusk Till Dawn, no top coat.


Did a sponged gradient with Nubar Dusk Till Dawn and OPI Keeping Suzy At Bay.


Top coated with Girly Bits What A Rush QD Top Coat.


Stamped using FunkyFingers Gesso using XY-L29 (acrylic plate).


Finished with a final coat of Girly Bits What A Rush QD Top coat.


Here's the other ladies Day 3 mani's!

Digit-al Dozen Does White; Day 2

I'm sharing these super cute nails for day 2 of Digit-al Dozen white challenge!


Started with a base of two coats of Polish 'M Hello, Monday!, no top coat.  This is one of my favourite polishes; I'm so glad I was able to pick it up in a blog sale!  I keep on going to pick up it to wear time and time again and I have to say to myself, use another polish, one of the 274758604568678690 untrieds you have lol!


Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


Stamped using FunkyFingers Gesso using an image from Creative Shop 83.  This is one of those great images that is interesting, yet has a great void to allow the base polish shine through!


Unfortunately, the polish pigment in the Polish M turned the stamping polish a page green.  It wasn't as obvious in real life but I did like the white stamping a lot better!


Here;s the other ladies day 2 mani's!
