Witchling

The magnetic shift on this one is seriously mesmerizing — I held the wand over each nail for a few seconds and got that deep cat-eye swoosh every time. Rose gold with silver pigment sounds like it shouldn't work, but it catches light like a tiny galaxy. Three coats and it's still glassy smooth.

I was worried the rose gold would read too pink, but the silver pigment keeps it cool and almost metallic. Dragging the magnet over the wet polish pulls the particles into this soft cat-eye line that shifts as my hands move. Two coats and it dried smooth, no streaks.

The magnetic finish is what sold me, and holding the magnet over each nail while it's still wet gets this deep cat-eye line that shifts as you move your hand. The rose gold base with the fine silver shimmer reads more expensive than it has any right to at this price.
