How to Use the Magnetic Magic Wand

Follow these steps to create a magnetic manicure. The wand works best with magnetic nail polishes that contain fine metallic particles.

  1. Apply a Base Coat and First Color Coat: Start with a clean, dry nail. Apply a base coat to protect your nails, then one coat of your chosen magnetic nail polish. Let it dry completely.
  2. Apply a Second Coat of Magnetic Polish: Apply a second coat of the same magnetic polish. Do not let it dry yet—the magnetic effect works while the polish is still wet.
  3. Position the Magnetic Magic Wand: Hold the Magnetic Magic Wand close to the wet polish, but do not touch the nail. The magnet in the wand will pull the metallic particles into a pattern. The distance and angle affect the design, so experiment to see what you like.
  4. Hold and Wait: Keep the wand steady for a few seconds while the particles settle. The exact time depends on the polish and the strength of the magnet. You will see the pattern form as the polish begins to set.
  5. Seal with a Top Coat: Once the magnetic pattern is set, apply a top coat to protect the design and add shine. Let it dry completely.

Tips for Best Results

For a stronger magnetic effect, use a polish that is formulated for magnetic nail art. The wand works with most magnetic polishes, but results may vary depending on the brand and the size of the metallic particles.

Work on one nail at a time to keep the polish wet while you use the wand. If the polish dries before you apply the magnet, the pattern will not form properly.

Clean the wand after each use with a lint-free wipe to remove any polish residue. This keeps the magnet working effectively and prevents smudging.
