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!

Something else to try! I don't know how i missed this thread but i will be looking for it now. I am a bit disappointed that it won't help find my keys in the bottom of my purse.... at least i hope they are there.

Hugs,

Charlize

      Although not Latine myself, I have many warm dealings and acquaintances in this group of people helping the Trans folks in this area.  I have helped out at many of their events and will be keeping it up as long as I can.  Some places do care about Trans people.

      I think this question is interesting, important, and potentially impossible to answer. In my case, at various times throughout my life, I have said to myself, "I want to be a woman", or "I want to live as a woman". Does that mean that, now I am 18 months into physical transition, I am a woman? All I can say is that sometimes I feel I am and sometimes I don't, and I don't know if that will ever change. So I try not to worry about it, and to focus on tangible steps I can take towards becoming more comfortable in my body: HRT, hair removal, hair transplants, voice training, tracheal shave, other surgeries which I may or may not decide are necessary. Also on how best to present myself so that I feel proud and happy and others treat me as I want to be treated. In my view, it is societal conditioning that makes many of us see transition as a journey from one binary to another, and I think many of us would be happier if we could let go of that conditioning.

      That's kind of the risk businesses accept when they decide to take a stance on an issue.  Any issue.  There have certainly been efforts aimed at "right wing" or conservative businesses.  Chick-fil-a being notable.  In general, I think businesses usually make the best profits if they avoid divisive issues and focus on selling stuff.  Of course there's always exceptions to that idea, where sales increase from notoriety.

      Lived in Arizona in 2001 when the Diamondbacks beat the Yankees to win the World Series. That was a lot of fun (got to be a photographer at a few of the games) ... Would love to see an MLB franchise come to North Carolina ... Followed the Mets for awhile but they can't seem to get out of their own way...

      Welcome @Abby Gen ... You are not alone in feeling like you are in an unwinnable situation. There are a lot of us who recognize that our inner desires (in my case, the desire to present more feminine as someone born male) are incongruent with all that is expected of us from those closest to us. We know that to step down the path to satisfying our desires could mean the end of many significant relationships. In my case, throw in a religious component (I am Catholic) and well, unwinnable indeed.   Sending positive vibes and grace and encouragement your way. I think you'll find this is a safe place full of many kind people who are here to listen and walk the path with you...   Easy

      The same boat indeed... sometimes when I come on here, I read other people typing my exact thoughts... 😉   I think it was you a few weeks ago who wrote about your desire to "present feminine" and that turned a light on for me. That's it! There is this very strong urge in me to present myself as feminine to the world around me. What does that mean? That I am a woman or just that I have a strong feminine dimension to myself? I have long since understood it is about much more than fashion.   It has been this way since I started wearing girls underwear in grade school. I would dare myself to go to school that way, on the one hand feverishly trying to hide what I had on underneath my jeans/shorts (lest I get caught and totally humiliated). Yet, also proud of the underwear I had on and what it represented and somehow wanting the world to know. What a crazy world...    Blessings to you @MaeBe! Thanks for the feedback!   Easy

      The Trevor Project, GLAAD and Sage; an organization whose mission is to save the lives of trans youth, an organization dedicated to the inclusion and fair representation of LGBT people in the media, and SAGE, an organization dedicated to the health, safety and legal rights of LGBT elders.  These are among the groups the NCPPR is targeting?  WTH to they have to do with trans minor's surgeries, of which there are almost none?   Bigotry and hate rear their ugly heads, and corporate America cowers in fear.  Disgusting and disheartening, but not surprising.  The haters have made their point with their boycotts.  🥺  ☹️   Carolyn Marie
