Wet-n-Wild "No Gas, Electrically Charged" Magnetic, with display photo!


I actually bought this one first and went back for the other one.
As you can see, I had a little trouble with the magnet. There's no finger guard, and it's a little awkward to get the finger placement just right.
This color is bangin' in real life. I realize it just looks sort of blackish-grey here.
But it was more like a blackened tealish color. Reminded me a little of the WnW Craze color "morbid" from a few years back.

The name is a little absurd, but cute.
$4.99 at Rite Aid which is the only place I have seen these so far.

Wet-n-Wild Drawn together by Force *Magnetic!*

 How pretty is this bright emerald green?
 I did a better job with the magnet this time. The formula on these polishes is fantastic.
 I love the little square bottle. The brush is perfect.
 My ONLY complaint is the magnet. It sucks. It's awkward to use and there is no finger guard to make sure you don't touch it to your nails. Otherwise, I'd have to say this is one of the better magnetic polishes out there right now.
I found these at Rite Aid for $4.99

L.A. Girls Magnetic...now with Display photo

When I went back and actually brought my phone to remember to snap a picture, this was all that was left!

This was my 4th of July mani.

L.A. Girls Magnetic - Positive Charge

YUP! A red magnetic polish! How pretty is that!?
 $3.99 at Rite Aid too!

 This polish is so great! It applies so smooth and the magnetic particles work really well. It doesn't look chunky or weird like some of the cheaper magnetic polishes tend to look.
 That's supposed to be a star on my ring finger, I kinda messed it up a little.
A swirly magnet! How cool!?

L.A. Girls - Magnetic Polish is AWESOME!

L.A. Girl Magnetic nail polish in
Electrostatic

 I accidentally spotted these at Rite Aid last week. They were stuffed way on the bottom shelf where no one could see them unless you were really looking.
 It's a shame, because these are amazing! $3.99! The color choices are pretty extensive. The magnet choices are varied.

The magnets are hidden in the top of the cap and pop right out. My *only* complaint is that the magnet doesn't have a finger guard, so it's really easy to accidentally touch the magnet to the nail.
 Otherwise, these are great. The color is incredibly smooth and pigmented.  These came out more silvery purple in the pictures but it's actually a nice rich purple color. The magnet works great. The star on my ring finger is actually from a different polish.
 If you can find these at your local Rite Aid, definitely snap one up!

Nails Inc. I am disappointed in you!

 I LOVE Nails Inc. Magnetic polishes. I think they are one of the BEST magnetic polishes on the market. The colors are unique and the formula is smooth like buttah. The magnet choices however are rather limited, so how excited was I to see this nifty new fishnet magnet??
 The reviews on Sephora were not good. A lot of people said the magnet is not strong enough to make a nice, crisp design. Glutton for punishment, I decided to try it anyway. I took a trip to the Sephora in our local mall and picked out this gorgeous green - "Spitalfields".
 The color is great. The application is great. The magnet stinks. As you can see it only goes up a small portion of the nail. What's that on my ring finger you ask? That is the star magnet from a cheap-o $5 drugstor magnetic polish that I have not worn yet. I wanted to see if the problem was the magnet or the polish so I tried a different magnet. As you can see the polish works great, the magnet is the problem.
Maybe the fishnet pattern is too small to work properly? Whatever the reason, I'm a little heartbroken. Spitalfields is still a pretty fantastic color and I do have lots of other magnets I can use with it, but still - how cool would that fishnet magnet be if it worked??

Magnetix

I had just been talking with my husband about how magnetic polishes will be the next thing and pretty soon I'll be finding them in drugstores, then BAM! the next time I went to Rite Aid, look what I found?
For $7.99, it comes with two magnets. They are separate from the bottle, which I find a little annoying, because I just KNOW I will end up losing them.
The color selection wasn't fantastic. All the colors are silvery/metallicy colors, not very strongly pigmented. This one doesn't seem to have a name (or I lost it) but it applied very smooth and the wear was actually excellent.
It comes in its own box.

Color Club Magnetics - Electr-Midnight

Wow! How excited was I to find these in our local beauty supply store? They were $10 each.
I snagged two because they were kind of pricey and none of the other colors appealed to me.
The magnet is in the cap and a wavy design. These are pretty similar to the Nails Inc. magnetic polishes, just a little cheaper. The bottles look bigger, but they're not. They are .33 oz. The applicatation is incredibly smooth. It wore pretty fast though and started to chip like crazy after a couple days. Still love it, and got a lot of compliments!

MAGNETIC POLISH!

I finally got my hands on one of these! I picked up Houses of Parliament at Sephora. I chose the purple over the grey because all the grey ones looked like they had already been opened and tried on.
This works great! The magnet is easy to use. There's a little guard so you don't accidentally bump your wet nails against the magnet. Drying time is fast! I tried painting one hand and then going over with the magnet and that did not work. I needed to polish a nail, use the magnet and then do the next one. Worth it though!

I definitely need more magnetic polishes! I hope they are going to become more available. And as they get more popular, I hope the price comes down a little $16.00 is steep (to me) but worth it for something so interesting that works really well!
