Magnificent Magnetics!
I've been wanting to try out magnetic polish for a long time and I'm so glad I finally did! These magnetic polishes are stunning. In true Born Pretty fashion, the items arrived on time and were very well packaged. Each polish was individually wrapped in its own styrofoam box so nothing broke during shipping.<br /><br />I used these polishes as recommended, with a black base coat, but you can choose another color to get a different effect or just use them as regular nail polish.  Though I loved them all, Lightning and Astral Realm are my favorites of the collection.  The colors are beautiful and bright with a shift in colors as you physically move and in different lighting.<br /><br />A few things to keep in mind - the magnet is not included, so just remember to order one with the polishes.  I experimented with a straight line and a circle magnet for my swatches, but other shaped magnets will also work with this polish and will create a different effect (i.e. flower, waves, chevron, etc.).  From my experience, I would suggest only doing a nail or 2 at a time until you are comfortable with the process. And, finally, there is a learning curve and it does take some practice and experimentation to get your desired look, but it's worth the effort!  I had a lot of fun holding the magnet different ways and varying how long I held it over my nails and even not using the magnet again after applying top coat for a different color effect.  I'm excited to create some eye-catching designs with these polishes!
