Bronze Age by bijinblair

Are you sick of creme, glitter or even crackle finishes? Try magnets! Nails with texture is extremely popular this season and this is one trend that I'll happily immerse myself in.

Ouqian Magnetic Nail Polish 022



Name: Ouqian Magnetic Nail Polish 022
Price: US$ 12.00 for 12 ml

022 is a gorgeous golden bronze. It applies like a dream and two coats are enough to be rid of any translucency. The lasting power is pretty good, I experienced slight wear to the tips the whole time I had it on, which is about five days.

Magnet


Name: Magnet
Price: US$ 13.00

This magnet comes separately. The Ouqian magnetic nail polishes do not come with a magnet, so I had to get this one to try the polish out. Three different patterns are included in this contraption, and the one that I'm most enthusiastic about is the diagonal one which I used in the picture above. It isn't the sturdiest thingamajig in the whole world, but it works pretty well and that is all that matters.


I have to note though that the design is not as faint as pictured (the lighting is too bright) but it doesn't manifest as clearly as seen from China Glaze Magnetix or Nails Inc. Magnetic Polish. I'm uncertain whether this is caused by the magnet (meaning it isn't strong enough) or there's too little iron powder in Ouqian's formulation.

Ouqian Pure Color Nail Lacquer 06


Name: Ouqian Pure Color Nail Lacquer 06
Price: US$ 8.80 for 18 ml

06 is a solid three coater. I expected it to be sheer from the description on kkcenterhk.com but to my surprise it isn't at all. I would have chosen a lighter colour otherwise! That being said, 006 is a lovely chocolate brown colour and the consistency is very nice - it isn't particularly thick nor is it runny. To my delight, it wears very well and doesn't chip whatsoever.

Magnetic nails is somewhat subtle, cool and is easy to achieve too. Will you give it a try?
