Ed. Obsession Under $20: Magnetic mani

Nail art is a force to be reckoned with in the fashion world. But as much as I’m drawn to designs that call for tape or nail pens, it can get tedious and messy—especially if I lack time or patience.

 

That’s what attracted me to magnetic nail polish. After painting on a coat, you hold the handy dandy magnet over the nail while the itty-bitty iron particles move toward the magnet. The result is a crazy cool 3D pattern in no more than a few minutes.

 

At $16 a bottle, it's a little pricey, but this isn’t a one trick polish. Chevrons, stripes, starbursts, and swirls—the designs are limitless. Want some more inspiration? Head to Pinterest and see which patterns pull you in.

I really need some help!
I'v been in this long-distance relationship for about 6 months now. There's a catch though. He's actually quite famous and if a lot of people found out, we would never hear the end of it. I visit when I can but it's a bit tedious because I'm from new York and he's based in London.
I love him very much but he hurts me sometimes. He'll flirt with girls and act like it's no big deal. I'll tell him how I'll feel and he'll apologize but he just ends up going back to it. He has a lot of close friends that are girls. I'm fine with it but he gets really flirty with them sometimes and it just hurts. He'll tell them that he loves them and he has crushes on them and when I confront him about it, he says "I can crush on 1,000s of girls but I'm only in love with you". I want to believe him but I don't know what to do anymore. Please help.

 

Hey sweetie! Sounds like this guy might be a bit of a player.  Between your long distance (secret) relationship and all of the other girls, he might be feeding you lines.  It stinks that this guy isn't giving you the respect you deserve, so my advice is to find a new guy who wants to tell the whole world how much he loves you (and only you!).  Good luck! xoxo

MOD?
I just started a club and am a bit confused about a couple things. Firstly i switched around the tags i wanted it under but it wont let me change it back. i wanted my club "book lovers unite" to be under books first but i accidently put it under school/studying as the first tag. Can i change it? Also i see alot of other clubs have longer posts. i cant fit a book review in one 250 character post(im the president). Is there a way i can post longer posts? And lastly when i added my VP and secretary their names showed up twice in the members. could you help me? thanks!

 

Hey girl, Try breaking your book reviews into shorter posts and labeling them part 1, part 2, etc.  You should be able to change your tag, but the change might have to be approved by the MODs, so it will take a little while to show up.  Not sure why their names show up twice, but as long as that's the only glitch with your VP and secretary, then don't worry about it! xoxo

There's a brand called LA Girls Cosmetics that they sell at Five Below for $5, and it works the same as some of those more expensive brands.
I'd found that it's easier to paint one coat of the polish, let it dry, and then paint another coat and do the magnetic effect. Sometimes the magnetic effect works so well that it reveals some of your fingernail if you have just one coat on.
And it actually takes forever to get the hang of it. I had to repaint my nails like, fifty times before I got the hang of it. Because if you let your nails dry for even one second, it won't work. I have a paper towel down so that (with the LA girls brand, the magnet is removable, not attatched)once I paint my nails, I can just chuck the brush and hold the magnet over my nails as fast as I can. You have to hold it as close as possible without touching your nail, and 10 seconds works.
But with your thumb nail, I tend to have to paint it in halves, because the magnet isn't big enough.
