NOTD - Magnetized Purple

I reviewed the Magnetized Blue polish from the same collection some time ago now, but my love affair with the magnetized trend didn't end there. Today I give to you Magnetized Purple.,, very original name huh?

Just like Magnetized Blue its purple sister applied evenly, one thick coat was enough for good coverage and pigmentation. I am hoping we will see this trend again soon.

Have you tried the magnetized trend yet?

My Nail Polish Obsession Tag!

image source

I saw this tag on Amarixe's YT Channel and knew I had to do it! so lets jump right in!

1. What's your favorite nail polish company?
OPI!

2. Glitter or no glitter?
typically I do prefer creme formula polishes, I can't be dealing with the process of removing glitter from my nails, but I still love Mad As A Hatter and Teenage Dream and wouldn't be without them in my collection

3. OPI, China Glaze, or Essie?
Did I not answer this one already? OPI. the formula just seems to wear better on me, they have a great range of colours and the Prowide Brush is perfect!

4. When do you change your nail polish?
Normally every 2 days

5. What's your favorite color on your nails?
I love blue shades like OPI Whats With The Cattitude or Essie Lapis of Luxury

6. Darks or Brights?
Brights

7. What are you wearing on your nails right this moment?
A new Barry M shade - NOTD coming soon I promise!

8. Matte Nails--In or Out?
OUT! unless its for Halloween

9. French Manicure?
Yes, but only if professionally done. I will probably ask for a French manicure for my Wedding day, something I've been putting a lot of thought into lately, well a girls gotta dream ....

10. Favorite Winter Color?

from this winter it has probably OPI Swimsuit ... Nailed it! but previous winters I have also loved Barry M's Navy OPI Vodka and Caviar, Glove you so Much and Cuckoo for this Colour just to name a few ;)

That was fun! now its your turn :)

I'd like to tag

But if you'd like to do this tag please do! I tag you all!! or leave your answers in a comment below :)

I was tagged!

Quite a while go now I was tagged by the lovely Hannah (Snowdrop85) in a "Tell Me About Yourself" tag. Thank you!!

What better way to get back into blogging in 2012 than a tag? so here it is!

Rules:

Thank and link back to the person who awarded you

Write 7 random things about yourself

Spread the love to 20 other bloggers

So 7 random things about me ... (better get thinking)

1. I recently climbed the the summit of an active volcano while on holiday in Italy. it was an amazing experience, and the only holiday where I have actually lost weight instead of putting it on!

2. I would love to run in the London Marathon, its kind of a family tradition but there is a long road ahead of me if I want to be serious about it! haha

3. I LOVE Disney! yes that's right I'm a self confessed Disney nerd and have been to Disneyland Paris 6 or 7 times, at one point I was averaging 2 holidays a year in the magic kingdom

4. At high school I had convinced myself that I was going to fail my GCSE's and decided I was going to become a nail technician while I re-took my exams (needless to say I passed and never did nails, except my own)

5. I have always had a fear of fish and once cried at a Sea Life centre in Paris as soon as I walked through the door and saw the fish in the tanks (I was 21 at the time! lol) but it had cost us 32€ entrance fee so I forced myself to look around. It was torture!

6. My favourite subjects in school were Latin and Art

7. I have a GCSE in German but all I can remember is the Calgon advert

and now heres 20 of my favourite blogs:
