Color Club Over The Moon with Leopard

 Hey guys! Today I have Color Club Over The Moon, a beautiful blue strong holographic polish from the Halo Hues 2013 collection. Not much else to say about this one other than it is much better in person, but I couldn't resist adding a bit of leopard on my thumb and ring fingers. The picture below is with top coat.

Color Club SCI-FI

 Hey everyone, I hope you are doing great! We just finished up visiting with family last week, we had a great time, and are now back to what will be our new home. Hopefully, we will be moving into our house soon but until then we are staying in a hotel. Since most of our things are still being shipped I don't have a light box to take pictures in and haven't had a chance to take pictures while the sun is out so I am using a picture I took a while back but never posted.
 Today I have a Color Club magnetic polish. This is SCI-FI, it's an olive green with gold glitter and what looks like gold flakes, which probably makes this one my favorite magnetic polish. On my middle and ring finger I turned the magnet backwards and sideways for different designs. Picture is two coats. I had no problems with the formula, it was bumpy without top coat but I think that is from the glitter and flakes in the polish.

 This is SCI-FI before the magnet.

 Are you loving magnetic polishes? I know I am but at the same time I can't wait to get back into doing nail art in the next few days!

Blue/Green Gradient with Glitter

 Hi guys! Anything planned for this Father's Day weekend? This is our last weekend in Japan, I'm excited to go somewhere new but at the same time sad to leave. We have a few things planned, mostly going out to eat food we probably will not be getting once we leave and hitting the mall arcade. 

 Anyways, I really wanted to do another gradient, I haven't done one in a while and wanted to play around. The base is Color Club Blue-Ming and I sponged on Wet N Wild Caribbean Frost on the tips. This color combination is much prettier in person, I really liked it. 

 And since you know I can't resist glitter I added OPI Fresh Frog Of Bel Air over the tips.

 What is your favorite color combo? 

Sugar Coated Nails

 Hi guys! I stumbled across this fake sugar powder at the Japanese store here a little while back. It is supposed to be used for decorating you phone and all that but I couldn't resist trying it on my nails.
 The base is Color Club Blue-Ming from the other day. To get the powder to stick I covered my nails with a thick coat of top coat and dipped them in the powder. I gave the top coat a minute to start drying then pushed the powder down into it and brushed the excess off. It worked way better than I thought it would!
 It's definitely not something to wear all the time, or practical at all, but it is interesting and kind of cool to look at.

 Here is a picture of the sugar powder I used.

 Have you tried anything like this on your nails before?

Color Club Blue-Ming

 I've been surprised to see Color Club pop up at our store here on base. I've never seen it here before so they must be noticing that polish is a big seller lately and are getting in the new collections from different brands, which I am happy about but also sad because I won't be here much longer.
 Color Club Blue-Ming, from the Blossoming Collection, is a turquoise shade, more green really than blue. I am noticing I keep accumulating this type of polish but can't help it, each one is just slightly different enough in my mind that I should get it. Unfortunately, the formula for Blue-Ming was horrible! It was streaky and thick which made it hard to apply smoothly so it does need top coat to even it out. Picture is three coats.

 Is there a shade of polish that you seem drawn towards?

Color Club Magnetic Force Steel Of The Night

 Hey guys! I've never tried magnetic polishes before and, surprisingly, I found the Color Club ones here back when my mother-in-law was visiting and snagged a few to try. If you haven't used them before there is a learning curve I think. To use them you polish like normal but on the last coat, while the polish is still wet, hold the magnet above the nail without touching it. On the Color Club it says to hold it for 15 seconds but I have found the longer you hold the magnet over the polish while it dries the better the design turns out. I held mine for about 30 seconds. It also helps to keep both hands very steady or it could blur the design. The Color Club magnet has a ridge on it to place near the cuticle so you can rest the magnet to help keep it steady and from touching the nail.   

 Steel Of The Night is a dark gunmetal grey in the bottle but once you use the magnet the black appears. These do dry insanely quick so you need to be fast. The only issues I had was on a few nails the magnet didn't seem to work on the sides and had to redo them. I'm not sure if it dried too quick, my nails are too curved or if it was just the magnet. The magnet is a bit narrow so if you have wide nails it might be a problem too. Also, all the magnets for these polishes are the same so there isn't much variety. 

 Picture is two coats with topcoat. Be careful when you add topcoat with these, if you apply too much pressure it can easily drag the design. 

 On my ring finger here I turned the magnet sideways for a different design so you can use it any way you just won't have the ridge to help you keep it steady.

 Below is Steele Of The Night before the magnet. 

 Have you tried any magnetic polishes yet? Which is you favorite?
