I am yet another newbie who has been hooked into this hobby by Fiery Attraction…

1x Olive and June Ridge Filler (it's the only one I could find at the nearby Walgreens but I want to try some of the others that have been recommended here)

2x Essie Full Blown OR 1x Essie Full Blown and 1x EdM Sheer Tint Mulberry, just to experiment

1x SH insta-dri in the red bottle

1x EdM Fiery Attraction, magnetized with 20lb horseshoe magnet for a glass bead-ish effect, somewhat successfully turning by hand in the air above my nail

1x SH insta-dri, also magnetized

———-

I'm kind of a newbie to nail polish (used to do my nails occasionally in high school/college) and a TOTAL newbie to magnetic polishes, so that's part of why the magnetic effect looks inconsistent across my nails. Please ignore the rough edges hahaha, I was too eager to try on FA after I finally got my magnet and I rushed the application. I also waited a bit too long to magnetize one of my nails on my left hand (not shown out of shame), so it has a weirdly flat velvety look instead of the glass bead I was going for, alas. Lessons were learned. I'll probably redo that nail later tonight.

Layering the Mulberry instead of Full Blown made a bit of a difference in how dark the base looks, and it improves the contrast with the magnetic flash, so I think in the future I'll be using that or an even darker shade as the base for Fiery Attraction. Bonus point for giving me a bit of purple tint when the light shines through them while I'm driving to work!

I cannot stop looking at my nails today even despite the imperfections, I'm still hypnotized lol. Pray that I do not crash on the way home because I'm distracted
