Swatch: Born Pretty Store - Magnetic Star River Series - Altair and Vega [#43679]*

Born Pretty Store Magnetic Star River Series in the colour Altair and Vega is a holographic, duochrome, magnetic polish. It is part of the same collection as Myriad Star. It has lots of different aspects to it which I think makes a great nail art look without actually doing anything. It looks spacey, a good base for galaxy nails.

You do need to use a black base coat to make this pop, which is what I did in the swatches below. You will also need a small magnet to hover above the polish for about 10 seconds to create the look.

Because of all the different aspects this polish is difficult to photograph.

Nails: Top 5 Summer Polishes 2019

Summer Solstice was on Friday and so I thought I should get around to sharing my top summer polishes for 2019. If you are interested you can see my summer picks for 2018 here, 2017 here, 2015 here and 2014 here.

China Glaze - Flip Flop Fantasy // Barry M - Banana Split // Leighton Denny - Dash of Lime // Barry M - Pink Grapefruit // KPT - Color Therapy

China Glaze - Flip Flop Fantasy // Barry M - Banana Split // Leighton Denny - Dash of Lime // Barry M - Pink Grapefruit // KPT - Color Therapy

China Glaze - Flip Flop Fantasy - A very vibrant peach polish, almost a neon pastel which sounds contradictory!

Barry M - Banana Split - From the 2019 Spring / Summer Gelly release, a good two coater yellow polish.

Leighton Denny - Dash of Lime - This is a bit of an odd choice, but I think it is more wearable than a standard bright green polish. Dash of Lime has a shimmer running through it.

Barry M - Pink Grapefruit - Is another one from the Spring \ Summer Gelly release, somewhere between a neon and a pastel pink shade.

KPT - Color Therapy - I showed this over white above. A neon pink, green glitter with holographic microglitter, also UV reactive as well.
