Lilac - Magnestised by No. 17

As you know if you regularly read my blog, I do really like the effect of magnetised polishes.  This is one of the first ones I bought when No. 17 released their range at christmas last year, however I never got chance to try this one out and so I was quite excited to try this colour. 

The colour is a dark metallic purple of which the magnetised part almost goes black to give the striped effect.  Having not tried this polish since I bought it 9 months ago, I don't know whether the consistency of the polish was thick when I bought it, or it has degraded since its been sat in a drawer, but the polish was difficult to apply.  It was uneven and very thick.  This made the magnet very hard to use and on a couple of nails, there was hardly any magnetised effect. 

Also, given that Barry M have since brought out magnets which make different patterns, the wavy pattern made by all the No. 17 magnetised polishes seems quite boring.  Overall I was disappointed with this polish, with both the colour and its application.

Next up is Lilac Foil by Barry M.
