Do you like fridge magnets?

I do! I collect them))) So if you ever want to send me a little one from where you are - feel free!

As promised, today's post is all about Australian magnetic polishes.
Since Sally Hansen magnetics are costing around $17 (!), I found some wallet-friendly alternatives.

I picked up this gift pack at Chemist Warehouse (or Wizard Chemist?) anyway, one of those places.

As you can see it was $14.99. The kit includes 2 magnetic polishes, a top coat and 3 magnets.

This is the front of the box

Back of the box with detailed instructions

Here are the polishes and magnets close-up: 

L-R: It's Chemistry and Rules of Attraction, plus the top coat

Very convenient magnets)))

Slightly curved and have a ridge all around

Here is what happened when I tried out the designs:

It's Chemistry

The magnets are quite strong and the polish responds well. I like the definition with the blue.

Rules of Attraction

The silver didn't react as well: the only one that came out OK was the circle magnet.

To sum up I would definitely recommend this set - even if you don't like the colours -
 the magnets alone are worth the money!

Next up is BYS. They released the magnetic line not too long ago and I've been wanting to try it out.
I picked up a couple of bottles at my local discount store for $3 each.

Magnetic Cobalt and Magnetic Venus

The bottles have a built-in magnet on the caps, so you have to flip the spare bottle if you want to use it. 

(Not a problem for me, because now I have the TBN magnets)

So I tried 4 designs: the 3 from TBN and my ring finger has the BYS lid magnet design.

Cobalt

Venus

The application of both these colours was quite goopy and thick, and they don't react well with the weaker magnets. However - the polish is very well pigmented, so I will most likely use it for stamping)))

And last, but most certainty not least, is ulta3 Magnetic I got for $5:

Comes with the magnet folded over the bottle

There are very clear directions on the magnet

The magnet is on the inside of the instruction leaflet

I wasn't sure if I'd like this, but it worked really well!

Again I used the TBN magnets and the ulta3 on my ring finger:

Enchanted

This is by far my favorite out of these)) 

The colour itself is very special and the definition is amazing - even with a weaker magnet.

If you want to choose only one, I would recommend this one.

P.S. Speaking of magnets, here is a bonus link if you're the crafty type: make your own magnet designs.
