Boots Nail Polish Haul...Magnetized! (or magnetised!)

Why Hello There!

Didn't I say that I would be back? Et voila! Just a quick post; in the grand tradition of Saturdays, I had a little mooch around the shops, and picked up one or two things.

I purposely went to Boots to check out their new Magnetized nail polishes (it bothers me that they have spelled it with a 'z' anyone else bothered by this, or am I a crazy person?)

I saw from the Boots 17 twitter feed that they launched in selected stores this week, so kept my fingers crossed that they were in my local store, which obviously they were. Note: my local branch is a pretty large one, so I did have high hopes that they would have them, but most stores aren't that big, so they may not have them in your local store just yet.

Oddly, they weren't merchandised with the rest of the 17 products, but had a temporary stand on their own well away from the 17 gondola, so it's worth having a little look-see around if you can't spot them immediately.

They come in four shades; green, blue, lilac, and grey. I picked up the "lilac" and the "grey" as they seemed the most work-friendly shades for me. As you can see from the picture below, the colour names are not the most thoughtfully chosen. Grey (centre) does actually appear as more of a pewter/gunmetal type grey in real life than the greeny tone it has in the picture, and the "lilac" (right) is not lilac. It is in fact a mauvey-purple. I'm really excited to try these both out....i'll let you know how I get on. Oh, and in case you're not really sure what the whole magnetised nail polish thing is about, i've popped in a demo video from Boots at the end of this post, which explains it far better than I can in words!

As all the 17 cosmetics are on a 3 for 2 offer at the moment, with a lot of other cosmetics, I of course, had to round this duo out into a trio. Having been recently impressed by the Bourjois So Laque in Rose Lounge (yes I had a bit of Kate Middleton wannabeitis for a bit there) I plumped for Bleu Mystérieux which is a gorgeous navy...perfect for autumn/winter.

All in all, my nails will be very happy this weekend.

What are your nail polish picks for autumn, and have you tried out any of the magnetised polishes out there yet? I'd be keen to hear your thoughts...drop me an ickle comment below!

Happy weekend one and all,
