Physics 401: Electricity and Magnetism

Every one needs a break and that's very me! But I believe that I owe you a treat and here it is.

From my experience, if you really want an obvious magnetic effect, you have to place the magnet extra closer that even a strand of hair can not pass. Uh well... And I think that's also possible to ruin your polish unless you're an OC. Haha. There. By the way, I used different magnets for the design. Pinkie messed up.

Day 6: Volt-in

I'm getting amazed lately while trying/comparing my unused polishes with similar colors. Well, this one is really a surprise for me. Don't think that I am being exaggerated, just excited. Haha!

Can you recognize these colors? Okay. This is taken in daytime, w/ no artificial light/s and macro lenses. The one in the right looks darker and that's true. At first, I assume that they may not be dupes but I can make a gradient out of them. True; they aren't dupes. Wrong; I can not make a gradient using them.

L - China Glaze Jitterbug

So, what did I end up?

Fyi, I apply only ChG Stone Cold for the base and Seche Vite for the gloss.

Using my sister's D9100, it takes time for me to bring about a good shot for the rest of the pics. Soooorry! :D

Day 5: La Pinta

You might be thinking that I literally painted my nails this time. Oh no, no, no. I don't have plans of using an artist's brush. *Bleh =D

This is not the first time that I use ChG Luxe & Lush but this might be the last time that I will use it. Just at least that it looked much glamorous than I the first time that I tried it. And just that it proved me that Luxe & Lush is the ugliest of all the flakies that I've seen! Compare to Nubar 2010 and Essie Shine of the Times (not to mention Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure), all of them are smooth, thin, no chunks/bumps and fine flakes. L & L is the opposite. Anyway, I love the name, Pinta.

TRIVIA:

• Pinta is the Spanish/Tagalog for paint. 
• La Pinta was the name of Columbus' fastest ship.
• The (Tagalog) word pintakasi actually means "intercessor" but it eventually evolved that now it means "a patron saint". 

So, I think it was named Pinta because you can beautifully paint your nails using this color! What I love from Zoya are: excellent formula, excellent colors and they use ladies' names. Hope to see my name one day in their nail polishes.

Hey, babies!

'Tis what I got today. I believe I got the best colors and I'm happy with my picks. Can't wait to swatch them!
