BYS Magnetic: Fuschia-ristic

Fuschia-ristic is the first of the BYS Magnetics range I've tried - and the first magnetic polish I've EVER tried. So, how did this magnetic polish novice go???

To be totally honest this was my second attempt.  My first was a comedy of errors as I either:
  1.  held the magnet too close and it stuck! or
  2.  didn't get it close enough and got no result
 Alrighty then, after some online research (See Scrangie's awesome post on magnetic polish instructions and troubleshooting here) I felt a lot more confident going in for my second try - as in I had some idea what I was doing - and the results were pretty darn presentable!

Fuschia-ristic is a deep magenta with the barest hint of shimmer and is a flattering enough colour to wear without any added special effects.  It's a brighter hue than a lot of the magnetic polishes currently out there, which tend to be vampier reds, plums and blues so this shade is pretty unique.  With the magnetic pattern the result is a cheerful, almost candy stripe effect and it comes across as a great spring/summer interpretation of the magnetic polish trend.  The finish without top coat is a semi-matte, almost rubber look and I decided I liked it left it as is.

There are 9 shades in the BYS Magnetic nail enamel range.  BYS polishes are available from discount stores nationally or may be purchased online from FashionAddict.
Until next time.

      It's a bit different isn't it? I'd love if there were more of these bright magnetics like bright blues and greens - I think they'd look fabulous for candy stripe summer manicures!

    I LOVE the look of that on your nails!!! Again, great tips! I did put top coat on mine to make the colours last longer...ok slightly longer. But you're right without the top coat it does look pretty amazing!

      Thanks! I didn't try top coat on this mani but have used it on another of the more metallic shades and I found it subdued the patterned effect, so my advice would be to avoid using top coat on these if you can! I do believe it's more of a problem with some top coats than others though - I used OPI RapiDry and it really toned down the effect :(

      Why, thank you and no problem! Fuschia-ristic's a great two-for-one cos you can wear it straight as is or go for it with the magnetic effect :)
