  • Magnetic Gel Polish (specific color)
  • Strong Magnetic Tool (dual-ended recommended)
  • No-Wipe Gel Top Coat

  1. Prepare nails by filing, buffing, and applying a thin layer of gel base coat, curing under UV/LED lamp.
  2. Apply a thin, even layer of your chosen magnetic gel polish. Do NOT cure yet.
  3. Immediately hold the magnetic tool close to the nail (about 1-2mm) for 5-10 seconds, manipulating it to create the desired cat eye line or pattern.
  4. Cure the magnetic gel polish under the UV/LED lamp, ensuring the magnetic effect is set.
  5. Apply a second thin layer of magnetic gel polish, repeat magnet manipulation for enhanced depth, and cure.
  6. Finish with a generous layer of high-gloss, no-wipe top coat and cure fully for that photo-real, flawless shine.

Expert Tip

For the most vivid, photo-real magnetic line, ensure your magnetic tool is powerful and held absolutely still, very close to the nail surface for the recommended time, without touching. Immediately cure after creating the desired effect to 'lock in' the shimmer.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do these Salon Magnetic Nails typically last?

With proper application and aftercare, you can expect your elegant magnetic manicure to last 2-3 weeks without chipping or losing its photo-real shine.

Can I get this magnetic effect on any nail length or shape?

Absolutely! While medium to long nails in almond, coffin, or oval shapes best showcase the dimensional magnetic effect, it can be beautifully adapted to shorter nails and other shapes too.

Is the magnetic gel polish safe for my natural nails?

Yes, when applied and removed correctly by a professional, high-quality gel polishes are safe and can even add a protective layer to your natural nails.

How is the 'photo-real' finish achieved?

The photo-real finish is achieved through meticulous application of thin, even gel layers, precise magnet manipulation, and a high-quality, perfectly cured no-wipe top coat that delivers an unparalleled glass-like shine.

Can I customize the magnetic pattern?

Yes, skilled technicians can manipulate the magnet to create various effects beyond the classic cat eye, such as waves, swirls, or more subtle shimmers, personalizing your elegant design.

Does the magnetic effect fade over time?

No, once cured, the magnetic effect is locked into the gel polish and will not fade. The shimmer and depth will remain until the polish is removed.

Aftercare Tips

  • Avoid picking or peeling at the gel polish, as this can damage your natural nail.
  • Be gentle with your nails for the first 24 hours after application to allow full hardening.
  • Use non-acetone nail polish remover for any clean-up around the edges if necessary (though not recommended over the gel itself).

Safe Removal

  • 1.Gently file off the top layer of the gel polish to break the seal.
  • 2.Soak cotton balls in acetone, place them on each nail, and wrap tightly with foil for 10-15 minutes.
  • 3.Gently push off the softened gel with a wooden cuticle stick. Avoid excessive scraping or forcing.
