MORE Magnetic Magic??

Ohhhh yes. There's even more. Prepare yourself.

Sinful Colors Captivate Me

What?? Sinful Colors? As in that brand that's about two bucks a bottle at any drug store? How can you possibly be so mind blown about that? 

Ahh. I thought the same thing when I saw the new collection of Sinful Colors magnetic polishes at Target. I was SO skeptical that I bought a bottle, just so I could laugh at it. No, really...that's my life.

But anyway, I have to give Sinful Colors some credit. The bottle really caught my eye because there's - what's this?! - HOLOGRAPHIC GLITTER?! In the magnetic polish. Well, Natalie, I said to myself, even if the magnetic effect isn't any good at all, there's still holographic glitter. Get it. YOLO. 

Like the nails inc. magnetic polishes that I showed you earlier, Sinful Colors Captivate Me was very nice and fairly opaque in just one coat:

Even if it wasn't magnetic, Captivate Me would still make for a fairly nice purple-ish frost, no?

Before I tried the Sinful Colors magnet (I'm pretty skeptical of drugstore nail polishes in general) I thought I'd try it with the nails inc. magnets. Hold up - again, prepare yourself. 

WHAT?! Yes. It worked with the fishnet magnet. I couldn't get the fishnet magnet to work to save my own life with my nails inc. magnetics, but it worked wonderfully with Captivate Me. Captivated yet? (Hehe, see what I did there?)

And then, of course, was the nails inc. wave pattern magnet:

 Is that cool or what? Can you SEE how strong the magnet effect is here? 

Okay now...are you ready for this? I don't think you are. I wasn't. Here's Captivate Me with the magnet that it came with:

WHOAAAAA! Back up, back up. Is that a STAR pattern?!

Why, yes. Yes it is. Here are all three patterns together:

I promised you magic. And I think this is magic. But if you don't think you've seen magic yet, prepare yourself...

Do you see that holographic sparkle in the bottle? I know you can't tell from the picture, but it's there on my nails too. I promise.

The formula for Captivate Me was fairly good. It was easy to fix mistakes in just one coat, which was really nice. My only issues are that Captivate Me dried a little chunky because of the holographic glitter...and then that when I tried to smooth it out with topcoat, the pattern got dragged and smeared a little bit (all of the pictures above are without topcoat); however, with topcoat on, the holographic effect is even more pronounced!

One more thing. Prepare yourself. (Yet again; only now am I realizing how many times in this one post I've said "prepare yourself" and for that, I apologize. Just kidding. You deserve to be warned when you need to be prepared, right?)

CAPTIVATE ME WAS ONLY $4.99.

I kid you not. So if you were too turned off of nails inc. (or any other magnetic brand, for that matter) by the insane price ($16! That's an exclamation point, by the way, not a factorial symbol...I promise I wouldn't spend $2.092279E13 on a single nail polish) then by all means, go out and get this one. Or any of its probably equally-amazing siblings. There's a whole bunch in the new Sinful Colors magnetic collection!

Clearly I was a little flipped out by the amazingness that is Sinful Colors Captivate Me. Which pattern is your favorite?

Stay happy!
