- Magnetic Gel Base Coat
- High-Quality Magnetic Gel Polish (e.g., deep sapphire)
- Strong Neodymium Magnetic Wand/Pen
- Gel Top Coat (no-wipe recommended)
- LED/UV Curing Lamp
- Nail Cleanser/Lint-Free Wipes
- Prep nails: clean, file, buff, and apply a thin layer of magnetic gel base coat, curing under LED/UV lamp.
- Apply a first thin, even coat of your chosen magnetic gel polish and cure, without using the magnet.
- Apply a second, slightly thicker coat of the magnetic gel polish. IMMEDIATELY hold the magnetic wand very close (1-2mm) over the wet polish for 10-15 seconds to create the desired photo-real effect, then cure.
- For enhanced depth, apply a third very thin coat of magnetic polish, use the magnet again briefly, and cure quickly.
- Seal the design with a glossy no-wipe gel top coat, ensuring full coverage, and cure thoroughly for a durable, high-shine finish.
Expert Tip
To achieve the most vivid, photo-real magnetic effect, always work one nail at a time. Apply your second (and optional third) magnetic layer, immediately activate the magnet, hold it perfectly still for the full duration, and cure promptly before the particles settle.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do salon magnetic nails with a photo-real finish last?
With proper application and aftercare, this magnetic gel design can last anywhere from 2-3 weeks without chipping or losing its stunning photo-real effect.
What makes the finish 'photo-real'?
The 'photo-real' aspect comes from the incredibly fine magnetic particles that, when manipulated, create a crisp, multi-layered depth that appears almost three-dimensional, like a photograph or a finely rendered image.
Can I achieve this 'velvet' or 'cat eye' effect at home?
While possible, achieving a professional salon-quality and photo-real finish requires practice, a strong magnetic tool, and specific gel polish formulation. A salon professional ensures precision and durability.
Is magnetic gel polish damaging to natural nails?
No, when applied and removed correctly by a trained professional, magnetic gel polish is not damaging. It acts as a protective layer for your natural nails.
Can I add nail art on top of the magnetic effect?
Absolutely! Subtle hand-painted details, small rhinestones, or even chrome accents can be added on top of the cured magnetic layer for an even more personalized and intricate design.
What's the difference between 'cat eye' and 'velvet' magnetic effects?
'Cat eye' typically creates a sharp, reflective line of shimmer, while 'velvet' produces a softer, all-over glowing effect that resembles plush fabric, both achieved by manipulating the magnetic particles with the same tools.
Aftercare Tips
- ✓Avoid excessive water exposure, hot showers, or saunas for the first 24 hours post-application to ensure optimal gel curing and adhesion.
- ✓Moisturize your hands and nails regularly to keep them healthy and prevent dryness that can lead to lifting.
- ✓Should any lifting occur, do not peel or pick; contact your nail technician for proper repair to avoid nail damage.
- ✓Protect your nails from heavy impact or prolonged pressure that could compromise the gel layers.
Safe Removal
- 1.Gently file or buff off the top gel layer to break the seal, being careful not to file into your natural nail.
- 2.Soak a cotton ball in 100% acetone, place it on the nail, and wrap with foil for 10-15 minutes.
- 3.Carefully scrape off the softened gel with a wooden stick or metal pusher, then gently buff any remaining residue.
