China Glaze Instant Chemistry

China Glaze Instant Chemistry from the 2012 Magnetix Magnetic nail polish collection.

 This color has the least contrast between the magnetic and not magnetic part. Even less so than in the picture.  The dark color is very dark and a little frosty; almost exactly the same as OPI Lincoln Park at Midnight.  Then there is a lighter magenta color.  I don't think that it's bad that this color has less contrast, but dark colors aren't really my thing.  Though, because it's dark, it's completely opaque in one coat, which is what I have here. I think it's a good polish if you like darks and want to try this trend.

 Although, don't try layering magnetics with sparkles.  They look stupid.  And you can't even see the pattern anymore. So it's really stupid.

Would you wear it?

 Okay, I seem to be getting the hang of this a little more. I recommend using the starburst pattern, because it has the ability to be more abstract than the strict geometric lines of the other patterns, so it's more forgiving.  That, and it's a centered pattern, so it works best on my super curved nails.  I like this color as much as Attraction, but I like them in different ways. Both are opaque at one coat, but this one has a cool look to it.  Almost like one of those holographic images that you have as a kid that when you move it changes.  It's kind of like that, and almost has a 3d look to it. It's really cool, and I really like it. 

This was kind of a terrible review...

 Magnetic nail polish seems to be the new crackle this year. Except this is so much cooler! Basically, the nail polish has little particles of iron in it that move around when a magnet is placed over it.  This collection has a magnet with the starburst pattern (featured here) as well as diagonal stripes and a chevron pattern.  This color is gorgeous in that is is a dark charcoal with a beautiful silver shimmer and the pattern is a silver .

As for the review, this magnet works pretty quickly, but it doesn't work well for me. I've been experimenting with it, and it seems that my nails are too curved (I have extremely curved nails) to have the pattern anywhere but the middle.  I'm still working with it, but as of now, the design only sort of works. It takes practice, that's for sure.  Luckily, the China Glaze magnetic nail polishes are the most reasonably priced of all of the magnetic polishes that I have seen.  It's priced normally with the normal amount of product. Thumbs up (as seen in photo 3 :).
