Magnetic Nail Polish...by the Letter E

Today I stumbled into my neighborhood Ulta cosmetics store because my curling iron bit the dust and I needed a new one.  As I wandered through the store to get to the curling irons a display showcasing the latest magnetic nail polish fad caught my attention. I don't know if there are other brands on the market, but the one I decided to use is by a company called LAYLA and the color is #08 Velvet Groove.  Groovy name for a nail polish I guess.  I snagged the bottle for like 15.99 or so.  Quite a bit more than what I'm used to spending on a bottle of nail polish, but anything for experimentation.  :)  It comes in various colors from metallic silver to purple 'velvet groove', blues and greens.

Ok fast forward to this evening, when I actually had time to paint my nails. (rare) I followed the instructions on the bottle and painted one nail at a time and after I coated the nail with a liberal amount of polish I closed the bottle and applied the magnetic close to the nail without touching it for about 10 seconds....the bottle says 5, but I didn't notice much of a change so I waited 10 and had better results.  The end result is a really cool looking almost holographic effect on each nail.  I was impressed...impressed enough to blog about it.  So go spend the money because this is one nail polish that is actually worth the money.  Once you finish all of your nails you can apply a clear coat and they'll  look amazing!

I think the only drawbacks to this polish are:

1. The price.  15 BUCKS!! OUCH.  Make it cheaper...it's nail polish...not an entire manicure complete with paraffin soak!

2. If you accidentally hold the magnet TOO close you can accidentally touch your wet nail and ruin the paint job and have to remove it all and start over.  I did this a few times in my haste to see results.

Other than the afore mentioned issues this is a great buy for anyone that loves to have unique fun designs on their nails.
Great effect for someone who rarely paints their nails. :)

Ad Agencies and Social Media: Is there a disconnect?

If you've ever tried to find employment at an advertising agency without any 'agency experience', you probably know how difficult it can be to even get your resume past the gatekeeper reviewing the emails much less get in to interview.  With the appearance of social media and this type of emergent media marketing ad agencies are trying to keep up.  The reason is simple, to be good at social media monitoring it involves actual interaction with the community and others online.  Creating a campaign for a client involves much more than just creating generic content to post every holiday, which is different from standard ad operations that normally send out  'holiday blast' commercial copy across all normal marketing channels for a client.  Social media requires 'interaction'.  One does NOT need a Masters degree or agency experience in order to get to know your buying public and interact with them online.  Many small businesses and even some not so small ones h

Ello.co : A welcome change to the social media landscape

Image
So there's this new social media thing. The "anti-facebook" out there in the virtual space. It is calling to all to join and not letting anyone join at the same time.  The elite, those with the coveted golden ticket can enter and partake on the newest social media site.  The Ello.co site is invite only while it is in beta testing.  I was fortunate enough to be able to access through someone in one of my Google+ circles (see Google+ is good for something :)).  I had a slight bit of difficulty entering the site because I was granted an invite, but just one I had to type in myself not the actual formal email invite.  So because I was trying to login using the regular ello.co site, and not the ello.co/join site, I had some issues BUT eventually we figured it all out and I was in. I soon discovered that I did not have the 25 invites that were once available.  This may have been because their server was down for a bit.  Virtually hundreds and hundreds of people were joining eve

Skype...by the Letter E

I learned a new skill today.  Well not new per se, but new perhaps to my technical capabilities since I haven't had to use it until today. I had my first online job interview utilizing the Skype platform.  I have used the face time app on my iphone before so it's not like this type of communication is completely foreign to me, however today was the first time that I had an actual...er..virtual face to face meeting with a recruiter.  As a kid I used to watch episodes of star trek or cartoons where people communicated face to face via their watch communicators or computer screens.  I think it's amazing that that technology is now here and is quickly becoming the normal more convenient way of doing business.  It was a quick conversation about the details of my resume, with the occasional blip in reception but over all it was a decent conversation using the technology.  I'm looking forward to calling everyone now, although I may want to take a few minutes to 'freshen up
