I'm Kimi :) Your average eighteen year old residing in sunny UK who loves doing her nails after finally breaking the horrible habit of biting them.

I am by no means a professional, I'm strictly amateur, but I enjoy all the nail art I do :) I really do hope this blog is an inspiration to all you nail-biters out there - this is proof! The habit can indeed be broken :D

Boots 17 Magnetic Lacquer in ‘Green’

The magnetic effect produced by this polish is incredible. Quite a contrast compared to the ‘Blue’ version of this polish. I don’t know why the design came out so prominent. This time I only needed to hold the magnet above each nail for 5-10 seconds. Whether it was because a different magnet was used or a different polish, or perhaps my technique just ‘improved’, I don’t know. Although, this time I did give the bottle a tiny little shake before applying each coat as I figured the iron would sink quite quickly to the bottom. I also think the fact that the green colour is significantly lighter than the blue version means the magnet effect contrast shows up a lot more. Let’s hope the same goes for the purple version of this polish, which happens to be the darkest of them all!
