The Test -

In May I received a magnetic polish in Kylie (a purple shade) from Julep, I was already familiar with using a magnetic polish when I received this Sally Hansen magnetic polish in Polar Purple. 

Want to create Magnetic Cupcakes using this magnetic nail polish? Here's a tutorial -

While creating the tutorial, this was the first time I had used the Polar Purple and felt that I had gotten the same results from when I used the Julep polish.

Overall, I liked this polish because it gave me the '3D' effect without too much work. The price for a bottle is great at $9.99 given there are similar bottles for over this amount and it is easily available at a majority of retail stores. There are 8 beautiful colors to choose from and some of which are perfect as we quickly approach fall.

Pro - 

Easy to use & remove
Each nail design is unique
Great way to create 3D effect with only one product
Easily available at majority retail store
Reasonably priced for a multi-functional polish

Ranked: 5 out 5 stars

A 2nd birthday party affair....

Saturday was jammed packed with activities! I had work and afterwards went over to my parent's house to get the house decorated for my Nugget aka Nugman's 2nd birthday party! We had a disney cars themed party!

We had an rsvp of 10 kiddos but only 5 showed up so we had tons of extras but it's better than not having enough!

We had a coloring, painting and tattoo station for the kiddos to play with. We had Cars 2 playing in the background too. For food, we served pizza, spaghetti, baked lumpia and turkey.

I made red velvet cupcakes decorated as Lightning McQueen for the kiddos and just regular decorated cupcakes for adults. I also made cake balls in the shape of Lightning McQueen that went on a block of rice krispy as part of the favor bags for the kiddos. The adults got some regular decorated cake balls as thank you desserts.
