The nail polish industry experienced a revolutionary moment when magnetic technology entered the scene. By incorporating microscopic metallic particles into polish formulas, ordinary base colours can transform into extraordinary works of art. From shimmering silver streaks that catch the light to mesmerizing multi-chrome effects that shift with every movement, magnetic nail polish has captured our hearts! While achieving these stunning effects does require some technique and practice, don't worry—we're here to guide you through everything you need to master your new favourite nail trend.

Since magnetic nail polish burst onto the beauty scene in 2011, the technology has evolved dramatically. Today's magnetic particles range from ultra-fine and delicate to bold and chunky, with countless variations in between. Each particle size creates different effects when activated, and we're breaking down all the essential techniques you need to know. The exciting part? No matter which method you choose, your finished manicure will be absolutely breathtaking!

GlazeMe's magnetic polish collection offers everything from subtle, understated elegance to show-stopping transformations! An important note: our magnetic polishes are traditional lacquers, not gel formulas. This means timing is everything when working with the magnets. Once your polish dries, those magnetic particles are locked in position. Because speed matters, we've designed our magnetic tools to give you confidence and control. We offer two distinct magnets, available individually or as a convenient bundle, to help you achieve professional results.

Magnetic Wand Magic

For achieving those coveted cat eye nails, the Magnetic Wand is your essential tool. Here's the exciting part—our Magnetic Wand can transform any magnetic polish into gorgeous cat eye nail polish! Simply apply one coat of your chosen polish, then immediately position the larger end of the wand directly above your wet nail. This technique draws the magnetic particles into a concentrated line across your nail, creating that signature cat eye effect. Position the wand close to your nail surface, but take care not to let the magnet actually touch the wet polish.

We suggest holding your magnetic wand steady until the polish begins to set, approximately 30 seconds. Remember, those magnetic particles stay active and mobile until the polish fully dries, so maintaining your wand position is crucial. Moving the magnet prematurely will cause the particles to scatter and blur. Don't hesitate to experiment with different wand angles—variation creates unique effects! The smaller circular magnet located at the wand's tip is perfect for creating trendy aura nails and elegant French tips. When you're feeling uncertain, just have fun experimenting!

Velvet Magnet Sophistication

When you want to showcase the softer, more subtle side of magnetic nail polish, reach for the Velvet Magnet. Unlike the linear concentration created by cat eye techniques, velvet nails feature a distributed shimmer effect. This gorgeous look is achieved by gently pulling magnetic particles away from your nail edges toward the center. The result? A stunning flash of magnetic brilliance that shimmers and sparkles beautifully in any lighting condition.

Our innovative Velvet Magnet completely simplifies this traditionally tricky process. By simply resting your fingertip inside the magnet while your polish is still wet, the particles automatically shift into that coveted velvet finish! No frantically waving a wand around while trying to maintain even sides. The transformation happens almost effortlessly! Once you've practiced with your polish and understand how the magnetic particles respond, you'll feel confident experimenting with creative variations. The possibilities truly are endless with each bottle!

Now that we've covered magnetic nail polish fundamentals and various manipulation techniques, let's dive into our gorgeous polish selection!

Dreamer is a magnetic polish featuring beautifully subtle effects. The warm mauve base colour is enhanced with delicate ethereal gold shimmer, creating a perfectly harmonious balance. Ideally suited for velvet nail techniques, the silver magnetic particles add opulence without overwhelming the look. When you move your hands, you'll catch glimpses of soft purple against the deeper plum undertones. Using the cat eye technique, the rich purple base creates stunning contrast with a bold silver flash. This incredibly versatile polish transitions beautifully through every season!

If you're craving a magnetic polish with more dramatic impact, Carol is calling your name. Multidimensional golden sparkles dance within the dusty slate-blue jelly base, complemented by fine silver magnetic pigments. When those silver particles activate, this polish transforms from mysterious to dazzling! The cat eye technique creates beautiful contrast between the deep blue base and a lighter blue shimmer streak. There's an extra surprise hidden in this jelly formula too—when the magnets cluster together, the darker base reveals gorgeous golden glints! The velvet technique brings the magnetic elements to the surface, and when light hits just right, this polish becomes absolutely luminous! For a stunning blue-chrome manicure, simply apply two coats without activating the magnets. It's a wonderfully easy alternative to messy chrome powders!

For truly dramatic magnetic effects, you absolutely must experience Solstice! This vibrant polish pays tribute to Nordic summer solstices, where daylight never completely fades. The light teal-green base features subtle golden shimmer alongside silver magnetic particles. With layered green and gold tones plus silver magnetics, this polish delivers three distinct looks! Apply two standard coats without magnet activation for a gorgeous silver-teal chrome finish—so much cleaner than traditional powder chromes! The velvet technique produces a bright teal flash while highlighting the golden flecks within the darker base colour. When you create a cat eye effect, all of this polish's vibrant colours become visible simultaneously!

Our most dynamic magnetic formula to date is Galaxy, a multi-chrome masterpiece beyond comparison! Galaxy has become a cult favourite thanks to its incredible multi-chrome formula that shifts seamlessly from green to blue to purple. The magnetic elements are so incredibly fine that when positioned perfectly, the base appears almost black. Using the cat eye technique, colours dramatically emerge against the dark background, revealing a captivating teal-purple transformation. You could even apply two coats with cat eye effects running in opposite directions! As a velvet manicure, this polish almost mimics thermal polish, shifting hues depending on lighting angles. The creative possibilities are truly limitless with this showstopper!
