- Magnetic Gel Polish (emerald green/silver)
- Dark Gel Base Coat (black or deep charcoal)
- Gel Top Coat (no-wipe, high gloss)
- Strong Magnetic Wand/Tool (dual-headed)
- UV/LED Curing Lamp
- Nail Prep Solution (dehydrator/primer)
- Prep nails thoroughly, apply a thin layer of dark gel base coat, and cure under a UV/LED lamp according to product instructions.
- Apply a first, even layer of magnetic gel polish. Immediately hold the magnet tool a few millimeters above the wet polish for 10-15 seconds to create the initial pattern (e.g., a crisp cat-eye line), then cure.
- Apply a second layer of magnetic gel polish. This time, manipulate the magnet slightly differently (e.g., circular motion, or a different side of the magnet) for 10-15 seconds to build depth and the 'velvet' effect, then cure thoroughly.
- Apply a high-gloss, no-wipe gel top coat, ensuring you cap the free edge to seal the design. Cure for the full recommended time.
- Once fully cured, apply a nourishing cuticle oil to the surrounding skin and gently massage for a perfect, hydrated finish.
Expert Tip
For the most 'photo-real' effect, experiment with holding the magnet at different angles and distances for each layer. The subtle shifts in particle density between coats will build incredible, multi-dimensional depth and light play.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the 'photo-real' effect achieved in this design?
It's created by strategically manipulating highly reflective metallic particles within the magnetic gel with a special magnet, often in multiple, carefully cured layers, to build incredible depth and dynamic light reflection.
Can I do this design at home if I'm a beginner?
While magnetic polishes are available for home use, achieving the precise 'salon-quality' and 'photo-real' depth of this design typically requires advanced skills, professional-grade tools, and a good understanding of gel application and magnet techniques.
How long does this magnetic design typically last?
With professional application and proper aftercare, this gel design can impressively last 2-3 weeks without chipping, dulling, or losing its captivating magnetic effect.
Will the magnetic pattern fade or shift over time?
No, once the magnetic gel is fully cured under the UV/LED lamp, the unique pattern and shimmer are sealed within the gel and will not fade, shift, or disappear, maintaining its vibrancy until removal.
Is magnetic gel polish safe for my natural nails?
Yes, when applied and removed correctly by a trained professional using high-quality products, magnetic gel polish is considered safe for natural nails. Proper removal is key to preventing damage.
Can I customize the magnetic pattern on each nail?
Absolutely! The beauty of magnetic nails is their versatility. Different magnet shapes and movements can create various stunning effects, such as waves, sharp lines, circular patterns, or classic cat-eye stripes, allowing for unique customization.
Aftercare Tips
- ✓Avoid prolonged hot water exposure or harsh chemicals for the first 24 hours post-application to ensure the gel fully settles.
- ✓Moisturize hands and cuticles regularly to maintain nail and skin health, which prolongs the life of your manicure.
- ✓Do not pick, peel, or forcibly remove the gel polish, as this can severely damage your natural nail plate.
- ✓When sanitizing hands, opt for non-acetone-based sanitizers to avoid dulling the high-gloss top coat.
Safe Removal
- 1.Gently file off the shiny top coat layer with a fine-grit nail file to break the gel's seal.
- 2.Soak cotton pads in 100% acetone, place them directly on each nail, and secure with foil wraps for 10-15 minutes.
- 3.Carefully check the nails; the softened gel should slide off easily with a wooden cuticle pusher. Never force or scrape.
