These are pretty much full of win and easily my favorite magnetic polishes that have come out so far!
Click the Read More button for a photos and reviews of each shade!
Before I start I should mention that none of these have official names...wth Icing. I hate that! I used 2 coats for each polish and held the magnet over the nail for 10-15 seconds while the second coat of polish was wet to create the design for each!
First up is the blue/purple magnetic. THIS IS SO AWESOME!!! yes people I felt like I needed to yell that, if I wasn't scared about my neighbors calling the cops I'd probably stand on my roof and yell about how awesome this one is. If you like magnetic polish you need this, heck even if you don't like it...you still need this. Also, how awesome is the wavy magnet?!?
The next one is is a green/gold magnetic with glitter! This one is pretty amazing also, if not for that fab blue one it would be my favorite! I've seen magnetic polish with glitter but nothing near as awesome as this. The golden glitter comes out after you put the magnet over the nail and is SO gorgeous. Prior to using the magnet you can't really see that glitter, I was all :O after I was done with the first nail!
Next up is a grey/black with glitter. I do feel like I have seen this one before, it looks like Layla Silver Galaxy...except it's better in my opinion. It's also a lot cheaper and the magnet is a billion times easier to use! Since I already have one like this overall it's not my favorite but it's still great!
Last up is the pink/dark pinkish red with glitter. In the bottle this one was my favorite, on the nail I don't love it quite as much but it's still a winner! The glitter in this one was also hiding it's awesomness until you held the magnet over your nail! This one is unlike any of the other magnetic polishes I have!
Alright, now lets talk about the magnets and why I think they rule.
1. They have that awesome lip like the Nails Inc. magnetic polishes have. It makes it easy to hold the magnet the correct distance from the nail without hitting it on the wet polish.
2. The magnet is nice and strong and the designs come out awesome!
3. The magnet is more versatile than the others I have. It has 2 of those little lips, so you can easily switch the design the other direction.
4. There are 2 patterns to choose from, the straight lines and the awesome wavy pattern. If you buy these make sure you check the caps of your bottles to make sure you get one of each (or whichever you like the best) I put a picture of what each of the caps looks like below (I added the word that says Wavy/Straight!)
Now here is my one complaint, these brushes are seriously wonky. 2 of mine were okay but the other 2 were like the photo below. It was like trying to polish my nails with a mop. Make sure you check your brushes before you buy!
The Icing Magnetix polishes are available only at Icing stores. They do not sell online unless you happen to find them somewhere like eBay. They were $9 each for a .33oz bottle, however Icing polishes are as far as I know always buy 1 get 1 half off which makes it a pretty great deal!
Wow! I have to get to an Icing's ASAP!!!
ReplyDeleteo_O these are seriously amazing! I love the wavy design and the glitters! The colors are gorgeous too.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a magnetic addicted BUT I have to say you convinced me with those Icing! I also love the blue one and the wavy pattern!
ReplyDeleteI am soooo lovin' the wavy pattern!
ReplyDeleteAre original!
ReplyDeleteXoXo
Wow, looks amazing! :)

ReplyDeleteSusie
I'm so psyched about these! Totally hitting up my mall today, and hope to get them all (especially for buy one get one prices!)! I can't believe they're so much less expensive than the other brands. Thanks for the swatches!
ReplyDeleteArgh should have picked up that green! At least I got my hands on the blue and red/pink.
ReplyDeleteFinally some colourful magnetic polishes ^^ And that hidden glitter is so pretty! Never seen that before, I love it.
ReplyDeletexx
Wow, thanks for the swatches! I've heard of these but have yet to see swatches. And I have to say, blue AND purple?!? Crazy talk! And glitter?!? Even more crazy talk. I need these!
ReplyDeletePretty! I might have to look for these...
ReplyDeletei'm in LOVE with the blue one!!! i see a magnetic haul in my future, lol.
ReplyDeleteTwo things ~ 1 these are amazing and I am SO glad they can be found at The icing and 2 - I HATE when polishes don't have original names! Amazing job as usual!
ReplyDeleteThese are up on my blog right now, too. I definitely like them! Did you notice a difference in the direction the wavy magnets go? In my review I noticed while swatching that my wave magnets worked in opposite directions of each other. Interesting.
ReplyDeleteYay!! These look awesome and I'm so excited you found some cheaper magnetic polish!!
ReplyDeleteThe green and gold one is FANTASTIC! Who knew Icing would have anything this great?
ReplyDeleteI saw these at my Icing store just last night but wasn't sure if I'd like them or not. I'm so excited to see them swatched. They are really nice actually! :)
ReplyDeleteOooh, I am going to have to hit up an Icing store (kind of like Claire's, right?)! I've always wanted to try the magnetic polishes!
ReplyDeleteAWESOME!
ReplyDeleteblue one looks the best. =)
ReplyDeletehmm I don't think mine did that! How funny!
ReplyDeleteyep, it's like a slightly higher end Claires lol!
ReplyDeleteI love the wavy design. Very cool. I need to look to see if there are any Icing stores in the area!
ReplyDeleteWHAT?!?!? THIS IS SO FREAKING COOL!
ReplyDeleteHow am I just finding out about magnetic polishes? Beauty blogger fail. lol.For $.99 I'm totally picking one (or more) up.
it is REALLY mean to show this awesomeness when I can't get a hold of them somehow!!
ReplyDeleteI want Icing :´(
I love magnetic polish. I want this blue one... But the closest Icing store to me is too far away to drive!!! Uggggh it sucks so bad! Lol
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info! I just picked up the last 4 from the store closest to me! Yay! Buy 1 get 1 half off!
ReplyDeletethose are so awesome... I love that magnetic polishes are making a come back!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the wavy magnet, and the blue/purple polish! But seriously Icing, give them names.
ReplyDeleteI was firmly not on the magnetic polish bandwagon...until I saw that blue. Nooooooo!
ReplyDeleteI saw these in the store but resisted getting them. Now I know I have to go back for the blue one! Love the wavy magnet!
ReplyDeleteThese are super cool! I love the ones with sparkles, as well as the wavy design.
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! I will have to get a couple of these!
ReplyDeleteI better get over to an Icings this week! Thanks for all the swatches!
ReplyDeleteAwesowe <3
ReplyDeleteAre they Big 3 free?
I'm speechless, and, I can say it's almost impossible this is happens. :O°°°
ReplyDeleteI'm speechless. And I can say it's almost impossible this is happens. :O°°°
ReplyDeleteFun, fun! Did not even know there was such a thing as an Icing Store! Call me the kid from the backwoods! Love the mico glitter in the polish. Also like the lighter/brighter shades in the green/red. I had sort of wondered if there was something about the physics of the paint pigments that limited the magnetic polishes to only use of darker shades like we had been seeing.
ReplyDeletewow i love all of these but especially the wavy pattern which i havent seen yet. i also like that these areant as pricey as the nails inc brand at sephora!
ReplyDeleteI love the different patterns!
ReplyDeleteHow perfectly gorgeous you got these! I have some magnetic polishes and I can NOT get them to work. Boo.
ReplyDeleteI went and got the blue and gold one. I totally forgot to check the brush even though I had read this post ahead of time! The blue brush is okay but the gold/green brush is like what you've shown.
ReplyDeleteAWESOME! I am in love with that wavy design and the glitter!? YES.
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome. I need to stop at my local Icing!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this post! I went right to the mall after reading it (and I usually avoid the mall), and I got the blue/purple and the gold/green. I checked the brushes on all the bottles in the bin, and they had many bottles for each color, but the brushes were mop-like on ALL of them. I wonder what the saleswoman thought watching me open all of them up.
ReplyDeleteaaaannd now i beg mom to take me to the mall. commence groveling.
ReplyDeleteYou are such a bad habit! Mall bound tomorrow :)
ReplyDeleteloveeee thisss so much.... but how can i buy it?? i'm from Indonesia and i cannot find it in Ebay...
ReplyDeletehaizz>.<.. anyway u have the best nail blog ever ^0^v...

ReplyDeleteJust great!
ReplyDeleteOh I'm in love with the wavy magnet, it's the first time I've seen one like it.
ReplyDeleteI love the wavy design, so cool! I had no idea these were out, now I have to run to Icing to get them. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteOMG the blue one is really gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I'm still a bit wary of magnetic polishes. I don't think they fit me. Mhm...
Wow, I wasn't into magnetic polish but those look awesome. I really like the red/pink one.
ReplyDeleteOMG I love the wavy magnet!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe blue/green one is seriously amazing!! I haven't been totally crazy about magnetic polishes, but if there were more like that one then I would be all over them!
ReplyDeleteThe blue and the pinkish red are amazing! I have never seen the wavy magnet design before. That is seriously cool!
ReplyDeleteOMG!! So so so stunning!!!! I love them all! You are so incredibly lucky to have this place near you, think I'm deffo gonna have to have a hunt on ebay :D
ReplyDeleteLove Aysh xoxo
I am so into these magnetic polishes, they are only just starting to come out here in Australia, I hope it becomes a huge trend :)
ReplyDeleteI just got the blue and reddish ones today. By mistake, I noticed that the side you hold your finger over determines the type of magnetic appearance. On the red one, one side is wavy up and down and the other side was wavy side to side.
ReplyDeleteIf anone would like to buy the lue wavy polish and ship to England let me know! I will pay good!!! I need this in my life!!
ReplyDeleteDoing a demo video for these, and I hope it's okay for me to include a link to this blog post in my description box, because your swatches are just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteof course! I'll be on the lookout for your video!
ReplyDeleteAhh so great! These necessitate a trip to the mall!
ReplyDeleteHi there ..If you would like me to buy it for you ...I will..I have not checked my ICING store yet but will try to make there this weekend and see if they have in yet...if you would like you can email me at kdaniels at everestkc dot net and we can discuss it. My name is Kriss and I live in US ...in Kansas. :)
ReplyDeleteLove these, have to go back and get the pink and the green, green was out when I went and I refuse to buy one and not get the other half off, lol. Plus Claire's has magnetic polish now too for 8$, I tried a green one, and it's lovely!
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know if the Claire's versions are exactly the same as the Icing versions?
ReplyDeleteThere seems to be a more emerald green one at Claire's that isn't at Icing...
ReplyDeleteFYI ladies: I emailed Claire's corporate and they said that the Icing ones are exactly the same except that Claire's has ONE MORE COLOR than Icing. So I am thinking it is that emerald green! Good to know!
ReplyDeleteAlso, this month's NailPro has a lot of brands advertising magnetic nail polishes, including Gelish! So it's going to be an exciting trend as predicted!
good to know, thanks so much for the info! I can't wait to see all this magnetic polish that is coming out!
ReplyDeleteThat blue one with the wavy pattern is the most gorgeous magnetic polish
ReplyDeleteI've ever seen. How lame that they can't be bought online.
God damn it sucks to live in Finland sometimes, it's like all the
coolest polishes are unavailable here. You can't even get China Glaze or
Zoya. And when some brand is available, it's ridiculously expensive.
OPIs are 16 euros a bottle, Orlys over 18 euros. >.< I'm so jealous of those of you who live in the US and can just drop by the mall to get the best polishes for a few dollars!
I went to Icing today and got two of colors...got the pinkish one and blue..Now I want the green gold one. I should of went to claires while at mall..I almost did ..I didn't not know they had these too. :(
ReplyDeleteYou can buy the Claire's magnetic polish online and they are currently having a buy one get one half off sale! I'm not sure if they will ship to many countries but it's worth looking into.
ReplyDeleteyou can buy the Claire's version online at claires.com... Same polish as the Icing ones! just so you know :)
ReplyDeleteI went to Claire's (by mistake) for magnetic polishes. I got all the colors they had including the green one. I did end up going to Icing but as the colors looked the same in the bottles I didn't bother getting the Icing instead. I wish I had because as far as I can tell right now, Claire's doesn't have two different magnets--unless I just happened to pluck the bottles with the same magnets out of the 5 I got. I think tomorrow I'll go over and exchange them because I'd really rather have the option of different designs. I plan to put up with China Glaze's magnet just to get more designs so I definitely want the Icing ones.
