General Tools 370-2 Horseshoe Power Alnico Magnets, 12-Pound Pull

Tiny but good

This has enough strength for making the "velvet" effect when using magnetic nail polishes. This is a Mooncat polish and I've used it for several of them. It works great! My finger fits well.

Excelente imán para uñas, fue un regalo para mi hermana.

Bought it to magnetize my sewing needles. It works super well! Just a few passes and they're magnetic.

If you're part of the growing community of folks of using these magnets to create a "velvet effect" when using magnetic nail polish, here's the review you're looking for! Using a much more powerful magnet like this, instead of the standard little weak "stick" magnets that sometimes come with the bottle, is an 100% certified GAME CHANGER. What's important is that you place your finger inside the U of the magnet while the polish is still WET (do it immediately after application). Then watch the instant magic as it pulls all of the magnetic particles into a STUNNING and LONG LASTING velvet effect! No more holding the stick on the sides and top, back and forth a bunch of times! For good measure, I rest my finger in there for about a minute, so that it can start to dry and really seal everything in. I saw on the nail polish groups that people use it with the U shape facing up, but I assume that the effect would also work if you placed your finger in it with the U shape facing down. However, it may be harder to control bumping your nails on the sides and top that way (can't see your fingertip as well). Be very careful with the flat "plate" looking magnet that apparently is there to protect the main magnet. You need to remove it before you use the magnet for your nails; I wouldn't try to pull it straight off. I recommend trying to slide it off to one side instead, and work it off carefully from there. Once you go to put the protective plate back on, do NOT hold it in your hand and let the magnet connect back to it "freely"; it's super powerful and you could get a bad pinch. If I recall correctly, the instructions in the package say that you should place it on a flat surface, and then carefully bring the U shaped part down towards it on top, making sure that your fingers are not in the way. If you didn't perfectly center the main magnet on the way down, just shimmy the plate it until it's in the correct spot. Happy painting!! My still photos do not come even CLOSE to capturing how strong the velvet effect is...I can only post one video with my review. You've simply got to see how great the effect for yourself!
