How does the magnetic nail polish work?

Before you understand how to apply a magnetic varnish, you need to understand the principle of its action. In fact, everything is very simple, and the principle of the action of this varnish is available to any schoolboy. Magnetic varnish contains in its composition the smallest metal particles. In the set with it usually there is a special plate-magnet of a certain shape (or sold separately). As is known, the force of attraction acts between the magnet and the metal. Thus, when the magnetic plate is brought to the dried, applied varnish with a magnetic effect, the metal particles rush to the magnet, and various patterns are formed on the nail.

Types of magnetic varnish

Magnetic varnishes are presented in a fairly wide color range, but they are only available in saturated colors and with the addition of mother-of-pearl (bard, brown, lilac, blue, green, etc.). Magnetic varnishes of pastel tones are not made, tk. while the effect would be almost invisible.

The pattern formed when using a magnetic varnish depends on the shape of the magnet, as well as on how to apply the magnet plate. There are three main types of patterns: the star, strips and arcs. However, as a result of experiments, you can create new patterns. For example, strips can be made at different angles.
