What is Magnetic Nail Polish?

Magnetic nail lacquer is a type of nail polish that involves the use of a magnet. But how does it work? Tiny nail polish particles with magnetic properties react to small magnetic discs held over the painted nails. This produces a series of impressive effects like shimmer, metallic, and more unique shapes.

What is the Difference Between Magnetic Nail Polish and Metallic Nail Polish?

There is a clear difference between the two.  In magnetic nail polish, you have to do the polish for each nail. If you leave it for too long, the effect of the magnetic discs will definitely not work to form the design. With metallic nail polish, you can definitely do one whole hand at ago and move on to the next since you don’t have to do anything else while the polish is still moist. In addition, metallic nail polish is very simple and gives the polished nails a shimmering metallic look while magnetic type is more complex than that. Most magnetic nail paint kits and brands only work with brands of nail polish that are specifically metallic.

Here are steps on how to wear or how to apply this type of nail polish:

1. First, take your favorite base coat and apply it on your nails, then allow time to dry. This is not necessary, but a base coat helps protects and strengthens your nails for longer lasting results.
2. Shake the bottle of your magnetic nail polish. This will ensure that the magnetic particles in the nail paint are well distributed.
3. Carefully apply one coat of the magnetized polish you have chosen. Do not use the magnet just yet. One more coat will give your nail polish design pop and also allow you some room to correct any error you might have made in the first coat.
4. Apply a second coat of the polish on your nails and IMMEDIATELY hover the magnets over the nail. Hover the magnet discs for about 10 to 15 seconds. You will see the magnetic effects appear.
5. Allow time to dry, and then apply a top coat and then allow more time to dry.

Note: You might need a  nail polish remover just in case you end up messing up and want to clean up your nails to start again. If it is not very messy, simply apply thinner strokes of polish over again before using the magnet as illustrated in the video tutorial below.
