Alessandro Go Magic!Twist

Remember those L'Oreal Star Magnet polishes? If I'm correct those are long gone and discontinued, but they still hold a special place in many nail polish fanatic's hearts. European brand Allesandro now hits the market with a similar concept.

Like the L'Oreal Star Magnets, The Allesandro Go Magic!Twist is a nail polish with a metallic finish that comes with a magnet. After you you applied your nail polish you take the magnet and hold if for 10-15 seconds over the still wet polish and a super fun effect is created. How cool is that!

Alessandro Magic Twist Set costs € 15.95, available from October 2010

I'm pretty sure we'll struggle a bit to get our hands on these, I don't know which countries sell this brand but I've seen them mainly in Germany and Austria, and a smaller selection in The Netherlands. If you know more countries that sell this brand, please let me know!

Snow! Both On My Nails And Outside.

Dus... het sneeuwt... En niet zo'n beetje ook! Het is woensdagavond begonnen en het is nog niet weer gestopt. Bij mijn laatste meting net lag er 43 cm! En wat doe je als je ingesneeuwd bent? Nagels lakken natuurlijk!
Dit is mijn ode aan de sneeuw.

English: So... it's snowing... a LOT! It started Wednesday evening and it hasn't stopped yet. When I measured it just now there was already 43 cm! And what do you do when you're snowed in? Polish your nails of course! This is my ode to snow.

Brrrrrr!!!

Ik heb Magnetic Blue Glitter gebruikt. Een zachte babyblauwe nagellak met holografische glittertjes. Dit is vier laagjes en het is nog niet dekkend! Voor het stempelen heb ik plates M59 en M20 met China Glaze Millenium en Konad special polish in wit en donkerblauw gebruikt.
Zoals je ziet heb ik mijn nagels kort gevijld. Ik moest namelijk een sneeuwballengevecht houden en met lange nagels pastte ik niet in mijn handschoenen! :D Heeft het bij jullie ook zo gesneeuwd?

English: I used Magnetic Blue Glitter. A soft baby blue nail polish with holographic microglitter. This is four coats and it still isn't opaque! For stamping I used plates M59 and M20 with China Glaze Millenium and Konad special polish in white and dark blue. As you can see I filed my nails short. I had to have a snowball fight and my long nails wouldn't fit in my gloves! :D Did you get snow yet?
