I hope the reviewer that said it didn't work at all will give it another try. I have 3 kids 4 yrs and under so when I want to do my nails it's something that gets squeezed in. This manicure took me under 30 minutes and that includes an interuption by the baby and much chatting with my husband!
I followed the directions and it worked perfect. The directions say to wait for the first coat to dry before starting the second. By the time I was done with a thin first coat the first nail was almost dry to the touch so I started the second coat immediately. There really wasn't any extra down time.
My hints 1. Shake the bottle again between the first and second coats. And make sure the second coat is thick on the whole nail, not just the middle. I did not need to shake between nails.
2. If you have wide nails, as I do, you may have to start the magnet on one side and kind of glide over the nail. For my thumbs I started with the magnet to one side, counted to 5 then moved it over so the other side was fully covered. Worked great.
3. If you slowly wiggle the magnet or hold change the direction of the magnet the result will be different. If you hold the magnet to the nail less than 10 seconds, the effect is more subtle. So much room to play with this!
I used Sally Hansen Diamond Flash fast dry top coat and it worked great over this. As the bottle recommends, I waited 2 minutes for the color to dry then applied. Didn't change the effect at all!

What a fun idea! This nail polish includes a magnetic top. After applying one layer, you apply a thicker second coat, and then hold the magnetic top right below your cuticle. The result is amazing. It pulls out different colors so you have two waves of colors, the lighter tan and a darker copper. It certainly takes a little longer than normal nail polish since you have to do the second coat and hold the magnetic top for each nail individually, but I found the results to be well worth it. I'm excited to try the other colors.Best Deals for Sally Hansen Magnetic Nail Color
I have another magnetic polish I spent almost $16 dollars on that did NOT work at all, but I saw this one in purple at Wal Mart on sale for about $8 and grabbed it.The first thing I liked before even using it is the big flat magnet and the guide, the other magnetic nail polish I have had a small magnet and no guide. This one was much easier to work with, WITH SOME TIME AND PATIENCE.
Ok, first off, you NEED a good base/top coat and you need to follow the directions, otherwise this will now work. If you have bigger nails yes you will need to move the guide back and forth across your cuticle to get the wave affect across your whole nail like I had to do on my thumbs.
It takes some time and practice, but the final affect/result is very awesome.
It's been about 2 days now for me and I've had no chips, but this is because I used a good top coat, which again is essential.
Bottom line, if you follow the directions, use a good base AND top coat and have a little patience this will work.
