Sally Hansen Magnetic Nail Color

Hello Readers 
               Recently I got the chance to try out Sally Hansen Magnetic Nail Color. The shade I was sent was 903 Silver Elements.
                 


                   


I love to try different nail colors and without polish I kind of feel incomplete my nails feel naked. You might think that's weird bit this is just how I feel. 
So when I saw the opportunity to try these I jumped right on it. 

Using Sally Hansen Magnetic Polish is no difficult task. Any one can do it. Unlike some other magnetic polishes out there this one comes with a magnet attached to the cap. I dislike the idea of having to buy a separate magnet.
The brush size is workable too.

How to use it :

Well the directions are written on the bottle and it's super easy to follow it. They have written it in clear details do that shouldn't be a problem for you.
Take out the magnet overcap and set it aside.
                   
Magnetic Overcap



1st apply a single coat on all nails and let it dry.
                 
The 1st coat
It dries pretty quickly so no issues there. 
Now go one nail at a time apply a thick second coat of polish and place the magnet with the guide resting at your nail's edge. Now going as close as possible without touching the nail hold the magnet for 20 seconds or so and voila the magnetic pattern has formed. 

                       
One nail at a time






Each magnetic polish has it's own unique pattern and this one forms waves.   

Final verdict:  If you are into trying different stuff in your nails without putting in a whole lot of effort this one is definitely for you .

NOTD and a possible dupe alert??

Hey

         I am here to share my NOTD with you. I won't be giving a detailed review for this.

     

Ever since I tried Ogre The Top Blue  from OPI's shrek collection at a friend's place I wanted this color. I wasn't sure that OPI's Shrek COllection had been launched in Pakistan or not so my only chance was getting a close dupe.

 I found this one at Rivaj UK. The price was really low and I liked the color

I'll show you how it applies on me. I got this result after two coats and a top coat. When I first bought this which was almost a year ago this polish wasn't this streaky but now over time the quality of the product has taken a hit. But keep this in mind this polish is somewhat old so you cant really blame it for being streaky and a little difficult to apply. It doesn't go on smoothly like before.

Price & Availability: It is available at some stores I think but your best bet is Eye Love Makeup facebook page, that's where I bought it from. I got it for Rs.100 but I believe they have upped the price to Rs. 125.
Check out Rivaj Uk's Facebook page here .

Final Verdict: Considering the price I suggest you go for it. They have a wide range of colors you can try new colors and experiment with different nail looks.


Do you think it is a good dupe for OPI Ogre The Top Blue ?? Comment below :)
