- High-quality 9D or 12D magnetic gel polish
- A strong bar or cylindrical nail art magnet
- Opaque black gel base coat
- No-wipe high-gloss gel top coat
- UV/LED nail lamp
- Nail prep solutions (dehydrator, primer)
- Prep the nail and apply a base coat, then cure. Apply one thin coat of opaque black gel polish as the foundation and cure completely.
- Apply the first thin layer of the magnetic gel polish to the entire nail. Do not cure yet.
- Hover a strong bar magnet over the nail for 5-10 seconds, then move it around the edges (top, bottom, sides) to push the magnetic particles towards the center, creating a glowing orb effect.
- Flash cure for 10 seconds to lock the design in place. Repeat on all nails.
- Apply a second, slightly thicker layer of magnetic polish and repeat the magnet process to intensify the photo-real depth. Perform a full cure.
- Finish with a high-gloss, no-wipe top coat and cure for the final time to seal in the dimensional shine.
Expert Tip
After manipulating the particles with your magnet, immediately flash cure the nail for 5-10 seconds before moving to the next. This prevents the magnetic particles from dispersing and keeps the design crisp and dimensional.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this magnetic design 'photo-real'?
The 'photo-real' quality comes from using a multi-layering technique with a high-pigment magnetic polish and a strong magnet to create an illusion of extreme depth, making it look like a real gemstone or galaxy is encapsulated in the nail.
How is this different from a standard 'cat-eye' nail?
While both use magnets, the standard cat-eye creates a simple, sharp line of light. This sophisticated technique focuses on creating a soft, diffused, spherical glow that shifts dynamically, offering much more dimension and a velvet-like texture.
How long will this manicure last?
With proper application and aftercare, this gel manicure will last 2-3 weeks without chipping or losing its magnetic intensity and shine.
Can I achieve this exact look at home?
Due to the need for specific professional-grade products, a strong magnet, and advanced manipulation techniques, achieving this precise 'photo-real' salon quality is very difficult at home and is best left to an experienced nail artist.
What is the best nail shape for this design?
Medium-length almond or coffin shapes provide an ideal canvas to showcase the depth and movement of the magnetic effect, enhancing its sophisticated and elegant appearance.
Does the magnetic polish damage my nails?
No, the magnetic polish itself is a type of gel polish and is safe for nails. Any potential damage would come from improper application or, more commonly, improper removal.
Aftercare Tips
- ✓Wear gloves when using cleaning products or washing dishes to protect the gel.
- ✓Avoid using your nails as tools to open cans or scrape surfaces.
- ✓Be mindful of prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals like chlorine or acetone.
- ✓Moisturize your hands and cuticles regularly to complement your sophisticated manicure.
Safe Removal
- 1.Gently file the shiny top coat layer to break the seal, avoiding the natural nail.
- 2.Soak cotton balls in acetone, place them on the nails, and wrap with foil for 10-15 minutes.
- 3.The gel should soften and lift. Gently push off the residue with an orange wood stick. Never force or peel the gel off.
