Something keeps drawing me to this polish...

My Essence Metallics!  Check it out! The first one I chose to use was "Steel Me."
 So cool! I can't wait to try out some combo looks. Maybe adding french tips with another magnetic polish? Getting the stripes to face the other direction on the tips?
 After a few experiments I found a magnet off my fridge that worked the best. Interestingly enough, the main part of the chandelier (the line that goes across the entire magnet) was the same direction the stripes would appear in. So that made it really easy to match up the angle of the stripes on each nail!
 This was the thickest magnet I had. I'm willing to bet that a stronger magnet would make even more precise stripes.
My coworkers had never heard of magnetic polish and being nurses, they wanted to experiment by trying to talk me into having an MRI. We laughed about how the polish would vibrate or heat up.... Or I might get as far as the door and be sucked in the room by my nails!
I'm no dummy though!
You must find yourself a European pen pal willing to hunt these beauties down for you!
