Magnetic Polish: China Glaze Get Charged

I received this bottle of magnetic polish (CG Get Charged) for my 22nd birthday. Its actually pretty simple to use. Paint the polish and hold the magnet above for 10secs. But there are some nails which didn't manage to get the pattern. I don't know why either. I'll have to try again another time, but overall its pretty easy to use. When you need quick fancy nails, this is it! :D

Splattered Nails for Chinese New Year (2013)

These are my nails for CNY this year. Its pretty much the same as the previous set of splattered nails, just that I used colours to match my dress (the blue material in the background). I used Essie's Mint Candy Apple as the base colour and splattered black and gold polish using the straw. Sprinkle the teal coloured dried flowers and topcoat, done!

Flora Chinese New Year Nails (2013)

I intended to do a set of flora nails, but I thought that sticking the dried flowers on a plain colour itself would be too plain and boring for my liking. I remembered seeing a tutorial on splatter nails somewhere and thought that a combination of splattered nails and the small dried flowers would be pretty CNY-ish. (photos of the dried flowers below).

I used a white base so that the other colours would stand out. I placed some polish into a straw and blew it out onto the nails, but I have really bad aim, I kept missing my nails. Haha! So I had to keep trying. Sadly, a lot of the pretty splatter designs are on the news papers I placed my hand on. (Please remember to place something below your hand before trying the splatter method.) After that, I pinched out the flowers and sprinkled it onto the nails. Top coat and you're done!
