The originality and stunning appearance of manicure with magnetic coating won the hearts of girls. It would seem that everything is very simple. But not every girl knows how to use the special spatula necessary to perform it. Therefore, today we will talk about the intricacies of this process, consider the functions of a magnetic spatula for manicure and the brightest ideas of this design.
Step-by-step instruction
Nowadays, specialty stores offer magnetic nail polishes in the form of regular or permanent coatings. Using a spatula is identical in both cases, so let's look at it in more detail using the example of applying gel polish.
- Prepare your nails for manicure: remove the old coating, give the free edge the desired shape.
- Apply the base coat and cure it in an LED lamp for 30 seconds. You can also use a UV lamp, but then the drying time increases to two minutes.
- Now carefully apply the magnetic gel polish and immediately hold the magnet strictly horizontally to the nail. Hold it for a few seconds and evaluate the result. The procedure must be repeated with each nail separately. When you are done with all your nails, dry them in a lamp.
- Similarly, apply the second layer of gel polish using a magnetic spatula. Dry again.
- All that remains is to apply a transparent top coat, dry it in a lamp and remove the sticky layer using a special liquid.
A beautiful magnetic manicure is ready! If you wish, you can decorate the design with rhinestones. As you can see, there is nothing complicated in this procedure, but if you still have questions about the technique, we recommend that you watch the video with step-by-step instructions.
Subtleties of using a spatula
A magnetic spatula is a very interesting tool that allows you to create incredibly beautiful designs. But there are some subtleties of its use that we want to tell you about.
- The ease of use depends on the shape of the spatula. There are ordinary small magnets, they are not very convenient - with them there is a high probability of touching the freshly applied coating. Models with a long handle are considered the most convenient. Therefore, be sure to check the form before purchasing.
- Pay attention to the following criterion - the spatula must be equipped with a special limiter designed so as not to touch the nail plate.
- For the spatula to collect all the metal particles into a pattern, 15 to 30 seconds are enough, depending on the manufacturer. If you hold the spatula for less than the recommended time, you will end up with an unclear pattern. Therefore, take your time and maintain the required period of time.
- If you want to add clarity to the design, then use black or any other dark color as a base before applying magnetic varnish. Then the new layer will be more saturated and bright.
Follow these simple rules, use products from trusted manufacturers, and soon you will learn how to create a stunningly beautiful manicure with minimal effort and time.

Magnetic nail polish “Duo Magic Cats” No. Mur – 72
(review by Anna Budanova)
Company EL Corazon® provided for testing magnetic varnish “Duo Magic Cats” No. Mur – 72 nail blogger Anna Budanova. Despite the fact that her collection already contains several hundred varnishes of various colors and textures and it would seem difficult to surprise Anna, the new product from EL Corazon® delighted her. According to Anna Budanova's description, the varnish consists of a transparent base and a duochrome magnetic pigment that shimmers with green, blue and lilac colors depending on the angle of incidence of the light. To get a bright two-color stripe Anna Budanova applied only 1 layer “Duo Magic Cats” No. Mur – 72 on black nail polish ( EL Corazon® No. 311 Mystification) . Without waiting for it to dry completely, she brought the magnet EL Corazon® to the nail at a distance of 1-2 mm, holding it with the edge for 15-20 seconds. Next, Anna covered her nails with a layer of topcoat and again held the magnet to collect the slightly “runaway” duochrome pigment and get a thin strip that will move along the nail with every movement of your fingers.

Review by Anna Budanova
Nail blogger Anna Budanova was one of the first to test and compile a catalog on magnetic polishes "Interstellar cats" - "Interstellar cats", which you can read if you wish. According to her reviews they are very similar in texture to the first part of the collection No. Mur-01-No. Mur-10. But, in addition to the metallic pigment, they contain a duochrome pigment, which shimmers depending on the lighting angle. In the catalog photo, the varnishes were applied in three layers. Anna Budanova first covered all the nails with two layers magnetic varnish "Interstellar cats", and then applied the third layer one by one and held the magnet edgewise for ~15 seconds until a light stripe formed. Next, I secured it with EL Corazon® No. 434 Top Coat Like Gel and again held the magnet for ~10 seconds. This is how we get a bright light stripe that moves with every movement of the hands.

Company EL Corazon®
provided to nail blogger Zemfira Lastovetskaya collection of magnetic varnishes “Interstellar cats” No. Mur-51 – No. Mur-56 for testing and cataloging. By reviews Zemfira to obtain a dense coating should be applied in three layers or one layer on black nail polish, as she did. This way you can reduce the consumption of varnish with expensive pigment. Magnetic varnishes have a native glossy finish, but according to Zemfira, if you coat them with an additional nail top, the duochrome shimmer will sparkle with multi-colored sparkles even more. Zemfira used EL Corazon® No. 434 Top Coat Like Gel. If you are interested in the review, look through the “Interstellar cats” catalog No. Mur-51 – No. Mur-56 (on the website elcorazon.ru) 
Beautiful manicure at home? It’s easy, because now there is a special magnetic nail polish, with which you can create original patterns on your hands (photos attached) without wasting effort and time. What is it, which company should I choose and how to use it? We will teach you everything!
How the varnish works
We all know from physics lessons that iron is attracted to a magnet. Scientists took advantage of this principle and introduced microscopic metal particles into the usual varnish composition. This is all the magic: a magnet of a certain shape, which is brought to a nail painted with a special varnish, deforms the iron particles into a certain pattern. Magnets can be found with a variety of designs: stars, stripes, waves, longitudinal lines. This is a good alternative to beads and other decorations that can fall off due to poor-quality manicure.
This is not a harmful varnish, it does not contain lead or any scary chemicals, everything is based on physics. Taking care of your nails this way is not at all dangerous.
But you need to know how to use it. So, we clean the nail: remove the remaining varnish, possibly seal the plate, and apply a thin layer of base coat. After that, we simply paint it with varnish (instructions are included).
Before applying magnetic colored varnish, make sure that all the necessary tools are at hand, because you need to act quickly. And now, while the nail polish is liquid, we bring the magnet to it, the distance should be as close as possible, but we do not touch the plate. We hold it until the intended pattern is obtained, then wait for it to dry. Applying this varnish is very similar to a simple manicure with varnish.
If the theory is not entirely clear, we recommend watching a video on how to apply magnetic polish with a specific nail design. There are different patterns, and if you bought a magnet with stripes, you can experiment with it in order to obtain a new image. 3D varnishes look very nice. Often the instructions also come with pictures showing variant patterns with a specific magnet.

Which company is better to buy varnishes?
You can buy magnetic nail polish at any store specializing in manicure coatings; the price will directly depend on the company you choose. Let's talk a little about varnishes, their types, color trends and the companies that produce them.
To begin with, let’s highlight the most popular manufacturing companies and their pricing policy:
Now you need to look at the availability of these varnishes in certain cities. As usual, in large regional centers there is no problem with purchasing magnetic nail polish.
- In Moscow, Minsk, Nizhny Novgorod, Krasnoyarsk, Voronezh and St. Petersburg, many of the above brands even have official stores;
- In Ukraine (as well as in Moldova) all brands can be found in any big city: Kyiv, Lugansk, Crimea, and Donetsk;
- For those living in more remote towns (Volgograd, Novosibirsk, Izhevsk, Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk) it is better to order these goods on the Internet, since there are now dozens of resources that provide the opportunity to buy nail polish with a magnet.
You should not completely limit yourself to the information obtained on our resource; although we use reliable information, it can be changed by manufacturing companies without approval, so be sure to read the reviews about magnetic nail polishes on the forums. In many cities you can also find salons that provide magnetic manicures.
How to remove nail polish
We begin removing magnetic polish in the same way as biogel nail polish. We need to prepare:
- Foil;
- Acetone;
- A wooden stick (preferably orange);
- Sponge or cotton wool.
We degrease the nails and apply cotton wool soaked in acetone to them, hold it for several minutes, then remove it. Now use a stick to push the strips of varnish to the edge. We smear the nails with an aqueous solution with iodine. It would be a good idea to coat them with anti-fungal varnish, which has good restorative properties.
Let's talk about the colors of accessories. This season, pastel shades are especially popular, including beige, light blue, and apricot. In combination with tanned skin, brown polish or some bright shade: coral, blue will look very interesting.

New products in the world of manicure have turned nail care into a real art. But this does not mean that only a professional can give your nails an original spring look. Magnetic varnish allows even people inexperienced in artistic skills to easily apply ornate designs to their nails. After all, here you don’t need to have the ability to create complex compositions. All you need is patience and a steady hand.
Magnetic polish: cat's eye
The developers of magnetic varnish took advantage of the ability of iron to be attracted to a magnet. The presence of tiny metal particles in the varnish allows you to create patterns on the nail plate by attracting these particles to a magnet of a certain shape.
The varnish base does not prevent grains of metal from reaching for the treasured magnet. Magnet patterns vary. You can find stars and waves, multidirectional stripes, lines, signs.
There are no harmful compounds in such varnishes. Therefore, you should not be afraid of the harmful effects of hotel elements. Heavy metals are not included in the composition. These varnishes are no more harmful than all the others.
Application Features
To achieve the desired result, you should adhere to the following procedure:
- cleansing the nail plate with conventional means;
- applying a base coat;
- applying a layer of magnetic varnish;
- working with a magnet.
The magnet is brought very close to the nail, covered with fresh varnish. Do not touch the magnet with your fingernail. Next, you need to hold the magnet near the nail and wait until all the metal particles fall into place.
You cannot move the nail, as this may cause a violation of the order of the metal particles. If you are late with the approach of the magnet, the desired effect will also not work. This method only works if the varnish is completely liquid. As soon as the top layer sets, the metal particles will lose their ability to move. This means that the intended pattern will not exist.
If you do not take into account the use of a magnet, then all the steps of applying varnish will not differ in any way from the usual manicure. After applying the varnish, you will have to wait a while for it to dry and harden. If you have questions about the application technology, it is better to watch the corresponding video.
You can also see how standard magnets can be used to create new, intricate patterns. you can watch it in advance. Most packaging of such varnishes is supplemented with images of the pattern that can be obtained using this varnish. Recently, 3D varnishes have been in demand. They give nails an original appearance.

New – magnetic varnish? Those who think that it is no longer possible to come up with something new from a series of decorative nail products (due to the existing variety) will be pleasantly surprised by the appearance of another new product - nail polish with a magnet.
Even in a relatively short period after its release, this varnish has already managed to acquire a wide circle of admirers who have abandoned the traditional nail coating in favor of it.
To be fair, the site will note that nails coated with magnetic varnish really look unsurpassed, which means that all the delights of the ladies who use it are quite fair. But, since absolutely ideal cosmetic products still do not exist, let’s try to figure out what exactly are the advantages and whether there are any disadvantages of this new product.
Advantages of nail polish with a magnet
The very first advantage of magnetic polish, which is important for many women, is the ability to make your nails at home so that everyone around you will be sure that you have visited an elite beauty salon! At the same time, the second advantage immediately appears - applying magnetic varnish yourself will cost you much less than visiting a salon.
Another important quality that magnetic nail polish can boast of is its healing and caring properties, which allow you to maintain healthy nail plates unchanged and have a healing effect on damaged ones.
Disadvantages of magnetic varnish
Speaking of disadvantages, the site immediately warns that not everyone can agree that this is a disadvantage. We are talking, firstly, about the rather high cost of magnetic varnish. However, for some, the price may be absolutely unimportant, and besides, as mentioned above, a visit to the salon will cost much more. Secondly, the disadvantage can be considered inconvenience in use: varnish and magnets need to be purchased separately and mixed independently. However, no one has yet canceled the saying about what beauty requires of women.
Another drawback of magnetic varnish (as the manufacturers promise, is temporary) is the lack of a large selection of colors. Currently available in gold, gray and purple shades.
How does magnetic polish work?
Well, first of all, don’t be mistaken about the magical effect of magnets! By themselves, they are useless, and using regular varnish with them is a waste of time. The fact is that magnetic varnish is specially designed; it contains tiny metal particles. Well, then - elementary physics: under the influence of a magnet, particles move, creating magnificent patterns on your nails.
How to use magnetic varnish?
The use of these magnetic varnishes depends on their type:
Varnish is applied to the nail, then a special magnet is applied to it. The result is a voluminous nail that exactly repeats the pattern on the magnet;
After applying the polish, a special magnet is held over the nails for 12 seconds. After drying, apply a layer of protective varnish. This coating not only makes the nails look embossed, but also creates incredible patterns on them;
Using magnetic varnish is exactly the same as using regular varnish. At the same time, the site assures that the nails will acquire an unusual metallic shade. Magnetic nail polish is removed with nail polish remover.
