Instead I found myself searching the aisles at Boots, and came across the Sally Hansen Double Duty strengthening base and top coat- seeing as I like the Insta-Dri topcoat so well, I thought I'd give it a try :) At £4.95 it's very reasonable, especially considering Sally Hansen is usually at the higher price range of 'drugstore' polishes- I hope it works well for me (I'll let you know!)
And of course, whilst I was in Boots, and nail polish is on 3 for 2... I couldn't resist getting a 17 Magnetized polish (£5.99). I eventually decided on the blue shade; it has a really pretty purplish duo chrome in the bottle :) Another 17 polish caught my eye, one of the new ones from the Autumn collection- Revenge (£2.99) is a lovely mushroomish shade with a bright pink duo chrome. It's quite similar to George's Movie Star polish, but Movie Star is a darker brown and has a purple/ blueish duo chrome.
For some reason my camera just didn't pick up the lovely colour of Revenge, it's showing the pink duo chrome but not the brownish base colour :( |
Have you got any of the magnetic polishes? What do you think of the trend?

Hope the SH works for you :)
ReplyDeleteI am tempted by the 17 metallics but I already have a few magnetic polishes and I cant seem to get them to work properly.
Thank you, I have my fingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteThe 17 ones seem to work quite well- the two nails in the picture were the first time I tried them, and my sister painted her nails last night and they came out slightly better than that- they might be worth a try :)

I didn't last very long did I! I ended up getting the navy one yesterday... opps!
ReplyDeleteHaha! What do you think? I hope they work better for you :)
