NAIL FILES: Essie 'Repstyle' Magnetic Nail Polish Collection

 

Tis' the season for another fabulous nail polish collection! The Essie’ repstyle collection is a magnetic collection that creates a snakeskin effect on your nails! I first spotted this "snakeskin" phenomena this weekend on a friend of mine  a reptile looking prine on her nails and I thought it was such a cool idea! The Essie repstyle formula contains micro-iron spheres that create snake-like patterns. How cool is this new nail polish?! I'm completely obsessed with trying this!  

 

This collection features six shades:

crocadilly (croc hunter green)

snake, rattle and roll (venomous oxidized silver)

repstyle (hypnotic desert bronze)

snake it up (pewter pave python)

lil’ boa peep (copperhead titanium)

sssssexy (striking, scintillating sanguine)

 

You can purchase this collection now and for $11.25 per bottle.

Below is a tutorial video I found on Youtube, so you too can get the snakeskin effect on your nails :)
