- Gel Base Coat
- Deep Indigo Magnetic Gel Polish
- Strong Neodymium Magnet (Cat-Eye/Dual-Head)
- Non-Wipe Gel Top Coat
- UV/LED Curing Lamp
- Lint-Free Wipes & Isopropyl Alcohol
- Prep nails: Clean, shape, and gently buff. Apply one layer of gel base coat and cure under UV/LED lamp.
- Apply a thin, even coat of the deep indigo magnetic gel polish. Do NOT use the magnet yet. Cure.
- Apply a second, slightly thicker coat of the magnetic gel polish. Immediately hold the magnet (e.g., cat-eye end) over the wet polish, about 1-2mm away, for 10-15 seconds to create the stunning photo-real effect. Repeat for each nail.
- Once the desired magnetic pattern is achieved on all nails, cure thoroughly under the UV/LED lamp for 60-90 seconds.
- Finish with a layer of non-wipe gel top coat, ensuring full coverage to encapsulate the design and add ultimate shine. Cure one final time for 60-120 seconds for a long-lasting, glossy finish.
Expert Tip
For the most 'photo-real' and intense magnetic effect, apply your second coat of magnetic polish and use the magnet *immediately* on each nail one by one. The closer (without touching) and steadier you hold the magnet, the sharper and more defined your magnetic line or swirl will be, enhancing the 3D depth. Experiment with magnet angles!

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a photo-real magnetic manicure typically last?
With proper application and aftercare, a salon-quality magnetic gel manicure can last 2-3 weeks without chipping or losing its shine.
Do I need special equipment for this magnetic nail art?
Yes, you'll need specific magnetic gel polish and a strong magnet (often sold with the polish or separately). A UV/LED lamp is also essential for curing gel polish.
Can I achieve this 'photo-real' effect at home?
While possible, achieving a professional 'photo-real' finish at home requires practice with magnet manipulation and understanding of gel polish application. For best results, a professional salon is recommended.
What makes magnetic polish different from regular glitter polish?
Unlike glitter that's evenly dispersed, magnetic polish contains tiny metallic particles that respond to a magnet, allowing you to create specific patterns and a unique 3D depth that glitter cannot achieve.
Will the magnetic effect fade over time?
Once cured with a top coat, the magnetic pattern is locked in place and will not fade. The shine, however, can diminish if not properly maintained.
Is this design suitable for shorter nails?
While the dramatic depth is best showcased on medium to long nails, a beautiful, albeit slightly less expansive, magnetic effect can still be achieved on shorter nails.
Aftercare Tips
- ✓Treat your nails as jewels, not tools; avoid using them to open cans or scratch surfaces.
- ✓Keep hands and cuticles moisturized to prevent dryness and maintain flexibility.
- ✓If you experience any lifting or chipping, avoid picking and consult your nail technician promptly.
Safe Removal
- 1.Gently buff off the shiny top coat layer with a fine-grit nail file.
- 2.Soak nails in acetone-soaked cotton pads wrapped in foil for 10-15 minutes.
- 3.Carefully push off softened polish with a wooden cuticle stick, avoiding harsh scraping.
