Essence Metallics : magnetic nail polish

You have probably already seen those but since I have just received them from a swap after a long time lemming, here they are :

This collection consists in 5 metallic nail polishes and a magnet.

Four of the nail polishes are magnetic :

Nothing Else Metals

Iron Goddess

Copper Rulez!

Steel Me

They all have an amazing one-coat coverage, the first two have a metallic finish, the second two a foil one.

The last nail polish is a metallic shimmer :

Metal Battle

This one requires 2 coats and is packed with multi colored particles.

The magnet is ment to be used in different angles in order to create various paterns so I tried to do that on the swatches.

In case you were wondering the magnetic effect is really easy to do, it does take some practice though : you have to work fast, apply the nail polish one nail at a time and then place the magnet really close to it.

Also the magnetics tend to dry slowly so I'd advise not to clean up right after you've finished but wait a bit or you'll end up with smudges.

Overall I was quite impressed with this collection, even without the magnet the shades are really gorgeous even more so considering that I'm not a usually a gold/copper fan.



Now quizz time :

Do you think you could name the nail polishes from these color drops?

First drops, same pewter color, different finish :
Left is Essence Nothing Else Metals, metallic, right is Chanel Kaleidoscope, foil.

Second drops, same finish, almost dupes :
Left is Essence Metal Battle, right is Chanel Steel, just a tad lighter.
