New Haul/Swaps!

Hallo ladies,

I'm sorry for the lack of post's I've been so busy with work and life. I have not even been able to paint my nails (Thats how busy I've been) :(

But I did pick up some new polishes. Catrice came out with new colors O.O there's so many of new beauty's OMG I've got to go back and get the rest (Holo's,Glitter's, Duochrome's and loads of new creme's) I was able to pick up 4 of the new colors! I walked into the store and the sale's lady was putting up the new display and I pretty much jumped over her shoulder to get at the polishes LOL

I also got 2 older P2 polishes from the Meet me at 12:30 collection and 3 Essence polishes from the Whoom! Boooomm!! Collection.

First up the 2 P2 polishes.

You've got the art (Lime green)
Roy's red (The name is wrong because it's a hot pink)



Now I have to tell a little store about Andy, you're a star. Hubby went to the store with me to pick out some new polishes and when I was looking at the Whoom! Boooomm!! Collection he picked up Andy, you're a star (I was not going to get that one because I have loads of orange colors) and he said babe all these polishes look like the one's you have, then he turned over the bottle and seen what the name of the polish (we call him andy)was and started to put it in the cart, I looked over at him like what are you doing? He's like you got to get this one and I said why? Did you not see the name of this polish? I said yeah so what? he said well baby I am a star so get that one LMAO only in your own little world babe :D


Now onto my 2 swaps I got in the mail.

Thanks for looking.

Magnetic Bottle Green

Here comes another one, just like the other ones.  As you can see, the team at Nail Art and More have come through with great customer service and shipped my missing bottle green magnetic polish in record time.

This polish is truly amazing.  The rich green colour that comes through with the magnet is just awesome.  And another thing, this is just one coat!!  Yep how is that for pigment. Also wear on these is great.  I had a massive cleaning day today, including steam cleaning the front of all the kitchen cupboards and the splash back.  I didn't wear any gloves and I'm so happy cause I only have a tiny bit of tip wear, no chips nothing! 

Not great swatches as the sun was a little shy today.

This polish dries really fast, and one thing I have learnt with these magnetic polishes is that you need to apply a thickish coat and quickly apply the magnet.  Otherwise it dries too fast and you don't get the full effect of the design anywhere that is already dry.

I've just noticed on their site that they are now selling these polishes in mini 5ml bottles (4.75€) as well as the 11ml ones (8.95€) and you can take 20% off those prices because they include tax. Given the excellent pigmentation in these, you could certainly be happy with a mini bottle.
