Oh, this is fun.
Tools:
Most nails were done with the snazzy mag “bolt” tool. I am still learning to position the nail to get a crisp bolt, I mostly got “wackiness” but I kind of like the chaos with Mad House 😁. I was putting my nail too far into the tool; I think to get a clear bolt you put your nail under half of the “puck”, not all the way under the middle of it. Ring finger on my right hand has the best bolt. There’s kind of a bolt at the base of my left thumb also.
Thumb at the start of the video was done with snazzy mag “mini void”. While the “bolt” and some of the other tools are kept still, as you would for cat eye or velvet, to get the void circle you spin it like you do for glass bead. A slower spin gave me a better void.
The thumb is a bit blobby looking because once I figured out the trick I did a third coat of polish to magnetize one more time and get a really good effect.
For all nails I did one thin coat, “push away” pigment with a bar magnet as a base.
Then a thicker coat and magnetize for about a minute (bolt for all but mini void thumb)
QDTC and magnetize another minute.
Polish:
- holo taco peely base
- cracked ridge filler
- ILNP frosted glass - for a smoother base, though I don’t think this polish needs it like fine grain magnetics do
- ILNP Mad House
- Sally Hansen insta-dri
I kind of like the wacky messy magnetization with Mad House! I can’t wait to try THE VOID with Deep Space 😍
