China Glaze Magnetix Attraction VS Sally Hansen New Lengths #49

Previously I mentioned that I was going to go through my nail polish in order that I have swatched them:

Clipping from my previous post;

"Previously I have swatched all my nail polishes with no organization. Brands,Colors finishes etc, for the most part are scattered throughout the 20+ wheels I have. I want to prove to my Husband that I use all of my polishes so I will be comparing two polishes that can be similar or polar opposites whichever two are next on the wheel are against each other as I work my way through my polishes so you or I  will never know what is next.  And no matter how much I hate the polish or don't think the polishes go together I will not cheat!

Sounds kinda fun right? This will determine the bad from the good as well and polishes I will use for frankening, put up in a future blog sale/swap etc. If you decide to do this please let me know! I think it will be fun!


 China Glaze Magnetix - Attraction.  

It took me a couple of times to figure out the proper way to make the magnet work and I still am not that great.  I like this polish even without the magnetic effect.  The formula is awesome in my opinion and if I am using the magnet I use 1 coat but if I am not I use 2 as I normally do with all nail polishes for good measure.  I got this polish with the magnet at Sally's Beauty Supply.  It was actually my first time there.

Sally Hansen New Lengths - #49

I can't find a name for this polish or any information for that matter.  I also have no idea where I got it.  It is a very sheer satiny finish purple with micro glitter of the same color which does nothing for the polish to accent it so it is kind of pointless.  I hated this polish so much, probably because it is so old and with it being have empty I decided to remove it from my collection.  One night my room mate and I were hanging out and she frankened her first polish using this as a base which I will post later.

Total Knockout!!!

A is For Autobot (and U is for updates!)

Those who know me and have read past posts, know I am dealing with some health issues, I am getting better and I am going to tell you in this post my exciting plans for this blog!  First the picture above!  I just joined another nail group on Facebook called Llama Nails And once a week we have to do nail art that starts with the letters as we work out way through the alphabet. I didn't want to do the same as everyone else, so I thought for a while and started browsing through my stamping plates, I found my Transformers plate and Autobots nail art was made!!!

So I will tell you a bit more about my plans for this blog. And the reason why I am going to start putting so much dedication and awesomeness into its little corner of the web.  I moved across country 8 months ago and due to having extreme anxiety it is hard for me to leave the house so I haven't been able to get out and meet people.  I have been dwelling on my life back in Ontario and not adapting here. My friend and roommate gave me some awesome advice.  "You came out here for a new beginning, start living it!".  I have met some amazing people online which has done a great deal to fill the void and with technology today, I want to meet some awesome people online!  

So I plan to continue with my star blogs featuring blogs that I feel are awesome , I am interested in so many things and have so many hobbies that there will be a variety of blogs featured.

I have contacted some companies and hope to be able to start reviewing products and hopefully indie polishes if someone will give me the chance. I have been a bad girl and used my cell phone for these pictures because my husband has my camera put up to high to reach but when I start reviewing I will be bringing the camera down and giving the products some awesome pictures with witty fun and creative reviews!  I am a professional photographer and using my cell phone for pictures should be a crime!

I will also be sharing whatever is inspiring me at the moment weather it be movies music media

I will be sharing my photography

and last but not least all of my crafty creations and nail art creations.

I hope this all sounds exciting, I sure am excited for it!!  

Once I reach 100 followers I will be offering a giveaway!!

Buttercup Challenge

Hey Everyone!! As promised I have finally included what I used for my nails.  Our challenge over at Purple Crumpet Fairy Challenge yesterday was "buttercups."  I had a hard time figuring out what I wanted to do and tried about 5 different things and this is the one I liked the best.  But as you see I kinda cheated with the whole nail art part substituting for nail stickers instead.  My Grandma has been forwarding all their mail to them as they just moved to Alberta as well and she tucks in nail stickers or strips.  I must like this design because I have left it on for a full 24 hours and that doesn't happen to much.

On with the details



  • China Glaze Sun Kissed
  • Nicole by OPI Make a Comet-Ment
  • And some stickers
  • I didn't top coat this one and after 24 hours I have only have a little itty bit of tip wear which is expected from being on the computer most of the day ;)


Here is the Design I did.  Please excuse the picture, it is horrible.  I took it with my cell phone as my other camera was put away.  I don't have a point and shoot I just have a DSLR (I'm a photographer) and it is too much work to get it out and set up the tripod, because it is too heavy to hold with one hand (I have really weak wrists and holding the camera is two handed for me) Anyways I am rambling..... I will play around with the cell phone, I think it is on the fritz anyways...(yay I might talk Ryan into an iPhone heheh)
