So in my last blog post I had done my little finger nail in a magnetic nail paint and then applied a red tip to it. I quite liked how it looked so decided to do something similar for all of my nails this week.
For the magnetic colour I used Barry M’s Multi Sparkle, which is a silver/grey magnetic with tiny flecks of multi coloured glitter.
For the tips I used the blue from their retro colours. I only needed to do one coat of this. I then covered everything with a top coat.
I think this was quite a simple way to make magnetic nails look a bit different. I like to do a new look for my nails each week and have been struggling to find things to do with my magnetic nail paints other than using them on their own. I want to try and incorporate them into my designs more this year.
i bought one of the magnetic polishes and it did not turn out so detailed as that. maybe I’m not doing it right or do you feel that certain brands are better than others?
yeah I find different brands are better than others. Also I find the wetter the coat when I put the magnet over it the better it comes out. What I usually do is quickly go over the part of the nail I started painting from before using the magnet. Otherwise I end up with the effect only working on one half of the nail. The quicker you work the better the effect comes out basically.
