How to use magnetic nail polish

Magnetic manicure appeared relatively recently, but has already won the trust of a beautiful half of the population. Thanks to special technology, girls can create patterns on nails without having drawing skills. Bizarre stripes, stars, waves - now all this has become possible. The resulting ornament directly depends on the type of magnet used. Many ladies prefer to combine magnetic varnish with other types of coatings, thereby highlighting only the middle and ring fingers.

Features of Magnetic Nail Polish

Today, popular manufacturing companies produce a wide palette of varnishes, each girl will find an option for herself.

1. Most enamels have a complex color. This includes purple, blue-gray, bluish, marine, lilac-pink, brown-green, gold, bronze, silver shades.
2. Particles called “metallic” are added to the coating. It is with their help that you can achieve a beautiful deep shade. The magnet attracts metal grains to the surface, creating an original ornament.
3. A positive feature of magnetic varnish is considered to be density. It is enough to apply 1 layer to cover the nail plate without translucent spots.
4. A coating of this kind has a stable composition, it adheres well to nails, so a fixing agent (top-coat varnish) is not required. Magnetic enamel is removed by the most ordinary liquid without acetone, without leaving a streak.
5. Leading manufacturers produce nail polish with an already attached magnet. However, in some lines you can find coatings without a magnet, in which case the device must be purchased separately.
6. The magnet for creating a pattern is a platform on which the finger is placed on top. You can also find a magnet in the form of a plate, but it is not very convenient for beginners to use.
7. If this is your first time covering your nails, give preference to the platform. Ease of use will allow you to make a beautiful pattern without lubricating the varnish itself.
8. A magnet is considered reusable, so it makes no sense to buy it with every new bottle of composition. You can use the device with coatings of different companies, regardless of the shade and brand of the manufacturer.
9. It is important to understand that metal particles are designed specifically for the magnet. That is why they successfully go up or “hang” in the core of varnish. Do not try to create a pattern on varnishes that are not intended for these purposes.
10. Magnetic varnishes are especially popular with girls with long nails, but the average length is also suitable. Short nails will not be able to convey the whole picture, cropping it. You can visually change the shape and length of the plate by rotating the magnet in different directions.
11. For example, if you draw strips from the nail bed to the free edge, the plate will visually narrow and lengthen. In the case of horizontal stripes (from edge to edge of the nail roller), the surface will expand, the nails will look shorter.

Preparing nails for manicure

1. Perform a preliminary nail preparation. Make a bath for hands based on salt, essential and natural oils or medicinal plants. Steam your skin for a quarter of an hour.
2. Using an orange stylus, move the cuticle to the base of the nail, cut it with thin manicure scissors or forceps. You can also use a special liquid, if available.
3. Next, give the nails one length and shape, process the free edge with a glass file.Ladies who have bumps on their nails should use the buff for buffing. Smooth and roughen the surface to eliminate defects.
4. Wipe your nails with acetone-free nail polish remover or a special degreaser. After that, wait 10 minutes for the product to evaporate from the plate structure. Apply the first protective layer - the base under the varnish, dry.
5. If your nails do not differ in natural evenness, use the “smoothing” base (base). It will fill in the gaps, which will allow to apply the main layer with the highest quality. It is important to understand the more thorough the preparation, the better the final result.

Magnetic varnish technology

Of course, the scheme of applying magnetic varnish is different from the technique of using other coatings. The procedure requires attention to detail, a firm hand and perseverance. You will spend more time, but the result is worth the effort and time.

1. In a stagnant bubble, magnetizing particles settle to the bottom of the bottle. Therefore, the tube must be turned over and twisted between the palms for 1-2 minutes. In no case do not shake the bottle, otherwise bubbles will form that will nullify all efforts.
2. After preparing the nails, proceed to applying the composition. Cover the plates one at a time, starting with the little finger. Remove the brush from the bottle, remove excess from the back. Put the brush in the middle of the nail, slightly push the varnish to the cuticle, drawing a semicircle.
3. Next, go down to the base of the nail, do not let the varnish drain onto the side cavities. Seal the tip of the nail by brushing along the edge. Do not apply varnish in several layers, one is enough. This is what distinguishes the magnetic coating from all the others.
4. After applying the composition to the little finger, proceed to create an ornament. Do not hesitate, the pattern is drawn exclusively on a fresh coating. Bring the magnet to the plate as close as possible, but do not touch the nail so as not to grease the varnish.
5. Keep the magnet strictly parallel; no need to twist or tilt it. Wait 60–80 seconds, then remove the accessory. You will see a beautiful pattern, after 3 seconds the saturation will partially disappear.
6. After processing the little finger, proceed to apply varnish to the ring finger. The technology is identical to the previous one. If you use a magnetic platform, a finger is placed on it. The exposure time remains the same 1-1.5 minutes. Clean the nail carefully so as not to grease the varnish.
7. Magnetic coating does not require the application of a final layer. For this reason, do not use special drying, top-coat varnish, gloss, fixing agent, etc. Such compounds will make the picture cloudy and dull, all efforts will be in vain.
8. If during the manicure you accidentally smeared the varnish, as a result of which it remained on the finger, proceed carefully. Dampen a cotton swab or a manicure pencil in an acetone-free liquid, remove excess. Manipulations are carried out strictly after the creation of the drawing.

The technology of using magnetic nail polish is not difficult if you follow the step by step instructions. Prepare the cuticle and plate in advance, shape the nails. Roll the coated bottle between your palms, then spread on the surface of the nail in one layer. Hold the magnet in parallel so that the ornament is uniform. Experiment with shades, create your perfect look.
