Magnetic Nail Polish?

Have any of you ladies tried the new magnetic nail polish that's out now?

According to the directions, you apply one coat, let it dry. Apply a second coat and while it's trying you hold the included small magnet over the nail and that can create a variety of different patterns depending on what you do with magnet while it's drying.

Just curious if any of you have tried it out and what you thought. I was hoping it was the opposite way and that by putting your hand in your purse you could easily fish up anything metal, like coins or your car keys....

Sounds amazing. It's probably got some of those tiny polyhedrons with differant reflective surfaces on each side suspended in the fluid and the fight between gravity and magnetism would make them move into differant positions giving a differant reflectivity to the polish. This would create odd and unique patterns. Methinks that when the time comes to play with nail polish I will get some. Love me some science don't you know.

My neighbor is a beauty consultant at Walgreens, She and I had fun playing with that one day. It is sooo cool! I want to get some when I get out of hock. The magnet is shaped kind of funky and that's what makes the neat designs. Wonder how they figured that one out, somebody screwing around in the lab??? Giggle. Hug ya. Jody

Many advances and discoveries tend to be accidents with applicable results, IE Teflon and the safety glass used in car windshields. Another accidental discovery was vulcanized rubber.

Shoot, I forgot to ask, Where can I find this nail polish? What is the brand name?

Sorry for the extra post! :poster_oops:

I've used it. We have several colors here. It does work, but not as well or as easily as they'd have you believe. You have to get the magnet so close to your nail to get it to show clearly that you often bump your nail and have to start again. It's fun though, I'd buy it again.

I first saw ads for it in Cosmo and Glamour magazine, then saw the actual product in Walmart and Target and got a better look at it and the magnet.

Haven't seen that yet, But I am sure it came out of the automotive industry. We use to do something similar on door lettering.. We would use real ground Metal Flake. (Metal flake paints aren't really metal, its Mica) the use a large magnet to manipulate the flakes. Usually we did this in conjunction with Lace painting or saran wrap blotting.

I have taught a few nail techs how to airbrush and apply Gold leaf to nails. I'll try to put together a little step bu step one day so you can do this at home.. (Gold leaf that is.Airbrushing is difficult to do on yourself.)

Over here in South Africa me and my sister tried it out last year January I think. The brand was Essence, but I don't know if it's sold in America or if they still make the magnetic nail polish

I have several of these...LOVE THEM!!!!!!!

They are awesome, and nope, you cannot pick up stuff with your nails, lol. The metal is in the polish and the magnet is in the cap, able to make cool lines and stuff on your nails...tres funky!

      I was ten years old when my mom walked in on me frolicking around my room dressed up in her bra, panties, and some pantyhose. I had been doing this in the privacy of my bedroom for a little while now so I had my own little stash box I kept full of different panties, bras, etc ... of hers. My mom's underwear was so easy for me to come by and she was a very attractive woman, classy, elegant. Well when she walked in on me, she looked at me with disgust and said to me... "If I wanted to run around like mommy's little girl instead of mommy's little boy, then she was going to treat me like mommy's little girl."  She left my bedroom after telling me NOT to change or get dressed or anything and returned with a few of her work skirts and blouses and such. She made me model off her outfits for her and I have to admit ... I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT. I felt so sexy, and feminine. And she knew I loved it.  She told me we can do this every weekend if I'd like. It would be OUR little secret.

      The usual social ways, of course.  Taking care of my partners and stepkids, being involved in my community.  That makes me feel good about my role.   As for physical validation and gender... probably the most euphoric experience is sex.  I grew up with my mother telling me that my flat and boyish body was strange, that my intersex anatomy was shameful, that no man would want me. So experiencing what I was told I could never have is physical proof that I'm actually worth something.

      <Moderator hat on>  I think that, at this point we need to get the thread back onto the topic, which is the judge's ruling on the ballot proposition.  If there is more to be said on the general principles of gendered spaces etc., please discuss them, carefully and respectfully, in separate threads. <Moderator hat off>

      People who have no understanding of transgender conditions should not be making policy for people dealing with it. Since it is such a small percentage of the population, and each individual is unique, and their circumstances are also unique, each situation needs to be worked with individually to see that the best possible solution is implemented for those involved. 
    • Abigail Genevieve
      No.  You are getting stuck on one statement and pulling it out of context.   Trans kids have rights, but so do non-trans kids.  That conflict is best worked out in the individual situation. 
    • MaeBe
      I get the concept, I believe. You're trying to state that trans kids need to or should be excluded from binary gender spaces and that you acknowledge that answers to accommodate those kids may not be found through policy. I disagree with the capability of "penetration" as being the operative delimiter in the statement, however. I contest this statement is poorly chosen at best and smacks of prejudice at worst. That it perpetuates certain stereotypes, whether that was the intent or not.   Frankly, all kids should have the right to privacy in locker rooms, regardless of gender, sexuality, or anatomy. They should also have access to exercise and activities that other kids do and allow them to socialize in those activities. The more kids are othered, extracted, or barred from the typical school day the more isolated and stigmatized they become. That's not healthy for anyone, the excluded for obvious reasons and the included for others--namely they get to be the "haves" and all that entails.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Context.  Read the context.  Good grief.
    • MaeBe
      Please don't expect people to read manifold pages of fiction to understand a post.   There was a pointed statement made, and I responded to it. The statement used the term penetration, not "dissimilar anatomy causing social discomfiture", or some other reason. It was extended as a "rule" across very different social situations as well, locker and girl's bedrooms. How that term is used in most situations is to infer sexual contact, so most readers would read that and think the statement is that we "need to keep trans girl's penises out of cis girls", which reads very closely to the idea that trans people are often portrayed as sexual predators.   I understand we can't always get all of our thoughts onto the page, but this doesn't read like an under-cooked idea or a lingual short cut.

      I shopped online in the beginning of transition. I had great success with SHEIN and Torrid!

      Have you read the rest of what I wrote?   Please read between the lines of what I said about high school.  Go over and read my Taylor story.  Put two and two together.   That is all I will say about that.

      "I feel like I lost my husband," Lois told the therapist,"I want the man I married." Dr. Smith looked at Odie, sitting there in his men's clothing, looking awkward and embarrassed. "You have him.  This is just a part of him you did not know about. Or did not face." She turned to Odie,"Did you tear my wedding dress on our wedding night?" He admitted it.  She had a whole catalog of did-you and how-could you.  Dr. Smith encouraged her to let it all out. Thirty years of marriage.  Strange makeup in the bathroom.  The kids finding women's laundry in the laundry room. There was reconciliation. "What do we do now?" Dr. Smith said they had to work that out.  Odie began wearing women's clothing when not at work.  They visited a cross-dressers' social club but it did not appeal to them.  The bed was off limits to cross dressing.  She had limits and he could respect her limits.  Visits to relatives would be with him in men's clothing.    "You have nail polish residue," a co-worker pointed out.  Sure enough, the bottom of his left pinky nail was bright pink  His boss asked him to go home and fix it.  He did.   People were talking, he was sure, because he doubted he was anywhere as thorough as he wanted to be.  It was like something in him wanted to tell everyone what he was doing, and he was sloppy.   His boss dropped off some needed paperwork on a Saturday unexpectedly and found Odie dressed in a house dress and wig.  "What?" the boss said, shook his head, and left.  None of his business.   "People are talking," Lois said. "They are asking about this," she pointed to his denim skirt. "This seems to go past or deeper than cross dressing."   "Yes.  I guess we need some counseling."  And they went.

      You look wonderful!!! A rose among the roses.

      Mine would be SHEIN as much as I have bought from them lol.

      This is the persistence in thinking of trans girls as predators and, as if, they are the only kind of predation that happens in locker rooms. This is strikingly close to the dangerous myth that anatomy corresponds with sexuality and equates to gender.

      At the same time there might be mtf boys who transitioned post-puberty who really belong on the girls' teams because they have more similarities there than with the boys, would perform at the same level, and might get injured playing with the bigger, stronger boys.   I well remember being an androgynous shrimp in gym class that I shared with seniors who played on the football team.  When PE was no longer mandatory, I was no longer in PE. They started some mixed PE classes the second semester, where we played volleyball and learned bowling and no longer mixed with those seniors, boys and girls together.
