Hi Lily,
Thank you for your feedback! We completely understand that magnetic nail art can take a bit of practice to get the hang of – you're definitely not alone in finding it tricky at first.
There are a few things that can help get better results with the Dual-Head Nail Art Magnet: making sure your magnetic gel polish is still wet when you use the magnet, holding it close to the nail (but not touching) for about 10–15 seconds, and trying both ends of the magnet to see which effect you prefer. The magnetic particles need to be able to move freely in the wet polish to create those beautiful patterns.
It also helps to use a stronger magnet with our newer Velvet Polishes. Our Strong Velvet Magnets are designed specifically for this – with a powerful magnetic pull, they effortlessly lift the fine pigments into that trending velvet finish. Each pack includes two magnets you can use separately or stacked together: the thicker magnet is perfect for an all-over shimmer, while the thinner one gives more precision for unique designs.
Sometimes it’s just about pairing the right magnet with the right polish, and the Strong Magnet can make a big difference in getting those bold, dimensional effects.
We really appreciate you sharing your experience, and please don’t hesitate to reach out if you’d like any specific tips for your setup! ✨
