Cell Shot: Essie - Naughty Nautical w/ Orly - Sparkling Garbage

Hello! Just a super quick post to show you this manicure that I wore last week & fell in love with!

This mani is 2 coats of Essie's Naughty Nautical with a coat of Orly's Sparkling Garbage on the accent nail. I used NYC Grand Central Station for a top coat.

Like I said above, I totally fell in love with this combo. It's like these colors were meant for each other! Also, I'm pretty obsessed with Sparkling Garbage & can't wait to try it out over pretty much every color ever. =]

Nails Inc. - Whitehall Magnetic Polish

I purchased Nails Inc. Whitehall from Sephora many months ago, but for some reason it sat on my shelf unused. Maybe I was a little intimidated by the whole magnetic polish thing since I'd never used one before. Either way, I finally busted it out recently & I LOVED the results!

Whitehall is a shimmery deep teal polish that pulls black when exposed to the magnet. The pictures don't do it justice...it looks so amazing & sort of 3D in real life, like a cat's eye stone!

I did one coat of Whitehall on all of my nails & let it dry, it was pretty opaque & the formula was thick but easy to apply. Then on each nail individually I put another thick coat & held the magnet over it for 10-15 seconds. Voila! I finished it off with Duri Miracote topcoat, but I probably should have waited a little longer before I applied it because it kind of blurred the magnetic design. Oh well, you live & you learn!

I think it turned out pretty well for a first-timer & I'm sure it will look even better next time. I know I'm a little behind the trend, but I can't wait to get my hands on more magnetic polishes!
