- Prepare nails: gently buff, push back cuticles, cleanse, and apply a thin layer of gel base coat, then cure under UV/LED lamp.
- Apply a thin, even coat of the specialized magnetic gel polish. Do not cure yet.
- Immediately hold the magnet tool directly over the wet polish (approx. 1-2mm away) for 5-10 seconds, manipulating the metallic particles to create the distinct line of light.
- Cure under UV/LED lamp. For enhanced depth, repeat steps 2-4 with a second layer, ensuring precise magnet application.
- Seal the design with a high-shine no-wipe gel top coat, ensuring even coverage and capping the free edge. Cure thoroughly.
- Cleanse any tacky residue if not using a no-wipe top coat, then apply cuticle oil for hydration and shine.
Expert Tip
For the most striking photo-real effect, ensure your magnet is very strong and held steadily just above the wet polish; experiment with different angles and proximity to master the unique line of light.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the 'photo-real' effect achieved?
It's achieved through precise application of specialized magnetic gel polish and strategic use of a strong magnet to manipulate the metallic particles, creating deep, shifting lines of light that mimic natural depth.
Will the magnetic shimmer effect fade over time?
No, once the gel is properly cured, the magnetic effect is sealed beneath the top coat and will remain vibrant and dimensional until the polish is professionally removed.
Can this design be applied to shorter nails?
While the full dramatic effect is most pronounced on medium to long nails, this magnetic shimmer design can certainly be adapted for shorter lengths, offering a subtle yet striking glow.
Is this design durable and long-lasting?
Yes, as a professional gel polish application, it is exceptionally durable and chip-resistant, typically lasting 2-3 weeks with proper aftercare and maintenance.
Are there other color options for this magnetic shimmer design?
Absolutely! The magnetic shimmer effect works beautifully with a wide range of deeply pigmented magnetic gels, allowing for custom color choices to match your style.
Does this require special removal procedures?
Like all gel polishes, it requires a gentle soak-off removal process with acetone to prevent any damage to your natural nails. Avoid peeling or forceful removal.
Aftercare Tips
- ✓Keep nails dry for the initial few hours post-application to allow for complete setting and adhesion.
- ✓Moisturize your hands and cuticles regularly to keep the surrounding skin healthy and enhance the longevity of your manicure.
- ✓Be gentle with your nails; avoid picking, biting, or peeling the gel, as this can damage your natural nail.
- ✓If you notice any lifting or chipping, contact your nail technician promptly for professional repair to prevent further damage.
Safe Removal
- 1.Gently file off the top layer of the gel polish to break the seal, being careful not to file into the natural nail.
- 2.Soak a cotton ball in 100% acetone, place it on the nail, and wrap it securely with foil for 10-15 minutes.
- 3.Gently push off the softened gel with a wooden or metal cuticle pusher. If resistance occurs, re-soak the nail; do not force or peel.
