I have a horseshoe magnet for velvet effect. It is soooo much easier and quicker and you get a more even effect across the nail than with the small magnet. Seems to hold better as the polish dries too. I have zero regrets in spending a bit more.
This video has almost put me to sleep a few times. The music and painting the nails has been super relaxing. Specially at 1:30 am. I think ill be able to sleep now. Also, theyre all super pretty!
Well…if you didn’t know that’s all it supposed to do …personally just sitting your finger on the magnet is easier than trying to use a wand and not touch the polish. IMO.
You have beautiful magnetic polishes! I will be looking for “ the lucky ones” - I like when magnetic polish makers design them to pull a contrasting color with the base instead of just silver look that can take over with the horseshoe magnet. I bought the 10lb magnet and it works great but I have small finger tips.
This is so cool! You get such a lovely full color shift effect, but it looks like it has more depth than usual shifting polishes. I might have to try this out myself.
Really beautiful effect! Although, it is nearly £20 I think I will try to buy one of these horseshoe magnets to use with my magnetic polishes. Thank you for this useful video! 😊x
Just found your channel! Been going down a rabbit hole of Magnetic polishes and yours by far are the best, for me! 👋🏼😊 Would love to see more of these magnetic polishes with this magnet! Hoping to find one near me soon!
@@under_N_over_it I got mine at sav-webshop.com/nl/hoefijzer-magneten/1355-16585-hoefijzermagneet-rood.html#/10077-afmetingen-l_x_b_x_h_45_x_30_x_30_mm_trekkracht_ca_12_kg (It's a Dutch website, so I don't know if they will ship internationally). But you can find a lot of alternatives when you search for 'horseshoe magnet 30 lbs'. 😊
I’ve tried the big horseshoe twice and both times I got tons of bubbles in the polish. I usually go in with thick coats so I thought that might be contributing, so I tried again with thinner coats but still got bubbles, just not as many. Annoyingly, the bubbles didn’t show up until the manicure was drying, but it looked so bad! I never get bubbles otherwise, but this happened to me with two totally different brands, in different weather/times of year. The only thing in common was the magnet. Did you come across this at all?
Oh wow! No, I've never had that happen. 🙁 That's so sad! And the only thing I would think about as well are doing thinner coats, but since you've already tried that.. 😟
i find your method to be both beautiful and yet frustratingly slow.. i appreciate the real time swatches, dont get me wrong - i just think theres a lot you could cut out when youre perfecting the application without ruining the experience of showcasing swatches done in real time.
I got the Mooncat and Holo Taco ones on their own websites, the ILNP and Cadillacquers over at www.nailland.hu, and Bluebird was a limited edition for Polish Pickup, so that's not available anymore. 🙂
You're totally right. It's just a really convenient way to do it, and the magnet is much stronger so the effect is as well. 😊Personally I've always struggled a bit in getting the velvet effect with regular magnets, but if you don't than you absolutely don't need one of these! 😀
I have dexterity issues and had no idea these magnets existed :) Might not be a big deal for you, and I’m super psyched for you that you don’t have to work too hard for the effect if that’s the case!
Some people don' t have the dexterity to achieve this effect manually with a small magnet. You are failing to keep in mind that not everybody is like you.
