The finished mani might look like magic, but you might thank science for the impressive results.

It seems simple, but thats all there is to it.

Then paint the tip and, while its wet, use the magnet horizontally.

Of course, you’re able to also use the polish to do a fancymagnetic French.

But when you apply your second coat of magnetic polish, the routine switches up.

To avoid smudging, dont move the magnetkeep it still.

Nail prep for using magnetic nail polish is the same as any othermanicure.

Remember that a magnetic mani is a low-stakes DIY situation.

The great, great thing about painting your nails yourself is the zero commitment involved, Green says.

You make a mistake or dont like what youve done?

Wipe it clean and start again.

Move Your Magnet as Needed

Watch as the polish reacts and changes with your movements.
