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!

The Random Sunday Post!

Hello everyone! This is a super quick random post just to say I'm back and also what will be coming up this week! So, I'm still due a Blue Nails post for the British Nail Blogger's Colour Me Crazy Challenge- this will be up tomorrow instead of a Book/Lifestyle post! From Wednesday, the normal posts will resume, so you can expect a Pink Mani on this day for this week's challenge nails! Then on Thursday, it's A Level results day, which means a lot of nervous stressy things to sort out, and I may not have time to write up a post in time for Friday- but I will definitely try, and also update you all in my potential University place! If there is a post on Friday, it'll be a typical naily post- probably a swatch of something! And that is all I think you need to know! Good Luck to anyone else getting results on Thursday! ~Rachel

Your Guide to Barry M Gelly's!

Finally , the time has come for the ever-promised "Barry M Gelly Polishes Review & Swatch" Post! YAY! Now, now, settle down, settle down, and prepare yourself for an image-heavy post! Panorama View? Yes please... Okay, so that picture isn't too great. But there's the colours that between us (Me and Rhian) have in the Gelly range. We're only missing "Grapefruit" I think...

Wail: Birthday Blue!

Hi everyone! So it was my 18th birthday yesterday, hence why this post is a little late! But I have a fun post for you all to enjoy :) Introducing to you- my birthday mani! I love love love these polishes- I think I've only used them once each, but wow, they're just amazing and I definitely need to use them more. Apologies for the little bit of tip-wear, it's been on since Saturday (so, 5 days between application and the picture taking!) so the wear on these polishes is actually very good! The first polish is Rimmel London's Salon Pro by Kate, in the shade "Britpop" which is such a fun name! The colour is also absolutely stunning, it's such a rich blue, but is kinda bright at the same time and a borderline dark teal colour. The brush for application is also pretty wide, which makes coverage super easy in only one to two strokes! There's another bonus too- the polish is very shiny even before a top coat! Totally recommend this polish, a
