Wail: 17 Magnetic Green Swatch!

Hi everyone!
Having a good week? (You better be :P)

Today I have a swatch for you, of a polish that has been out for quite a while now. Remember when "magnetic" polishes were all the craze? Yeah- this is one of those.
Introducing Boot's 17 Magnetized Nail Polish in "Green" (Side note- I really hate it when companies are uninventive with their polish names. Just give me a second to sulk!)


Yes, this magnetic effect is a rather strange one- it isn't completely wavy, or stripy, but you can of course use different nail-magnets with the polish, if you have any. Here's a few closer shots showing the design a bit more.



So as you can see, it's a very circular design, and to me, it's creating an illusion of sorts that makes it look... bubbly? When I look at it, especially in image-form instead of on my nails, I feel like it's drawing my eyes away from my nails and into my skin instead, which is never really a good thing when you want people to look at your nails!


Also, if you have very curved nails- a bit like myself- you might find that the magnet actually doesn't quite affect the sides of your nails. This can be a bit frustrating, but unless there's any nail-curve-shaped magnets out there, there isn't much you can do about it. It's not too much of a bad thing though as it's not like the effect stops abruptly; it's a nice fade instead. 


As for the colour itself, it's a very nice dark-ish emerald shade, that gets darker when 'magnetized'. It's nice enough to wear on its own, if you don't like the circular pattern... thing. 

If anyone's wondering about an image with the flash on, here's one for you! It certainly makes each section of the nail stand out a lot better, but doesn't do the colours any justice.


Here's a couple of pics at different angles, too, before I leave you in peace for the day!




If you like this polish, you can pick one up from Boots for £5.99

Just before you go, if you don't "like" my page on Facebook, you'll have missed a little message I posted just to say that I have "big news" to be announced soon! I've decided that this will be announced on Saturday so be sure to mark it in your diaries!
