Movement to the side or down can move the magnetic particles. <br />I also make sure my fingers are spread apart well when I'm magnetizing. Those magnets are strong and will pull the particles in toward themeselves from nearby objects. You can test this with the bottle of polish or another magnet - even inches away and they'll attract.Jen from xoxoJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15127026259269782777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3954666847845318454.post-86066133205235777652019-03-11T19:49:26.760-05:002019-03-11T19:49:26.760-05:00There could be a few different culprits, I'll ...There could be a few different culprits, I'll describe how I do it and maybe something there will help. <br /><br />shake the polish really well right before using, magnetic pigment can settle since it tends to be a little heavier.<br />apply one coat to one nail and magnetize by holding the magnet as close to the nail as possible without touching the nail. Keep this there for a minute or so. (a lot of people say 20 seconds, but I hold it quite a bit longer)<br />Move to the next nail and repeat. Then do a second coat the same way, one nail at a time.<br />Topcoat rewets it as well, so repeat the same magnetizing step with each nail when you top coat. It's very time consuming, but I've gotten consistent results this way.Jen from xoxoJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15127026259269782777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3954666847845318454.post-34776524170987048542019-03-11T19:15:30.323-05:002019-03-11T19:15:30.323-05:00Jen, how long do you have to keep the magnet in pl...Jen, how long do you have to keep the magnet in place? I've tried so many brands and so many magnets and I never get anything. :(Jammieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13935368176384833431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3954666847845318454.post-8469461759181507922019-03-11T06:27:41.132-05:002019-03-11T06:27:41.132-05:00Thank you!Thank you!Jen from xoxoJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15127026259269782777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3954666847845318454.post-5084986470084503562019-03-11T03:18:51.148-05:002019-03-11T03:18:51.148-05:00I like all ;)I like all ;)Sylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01699083963413160921noreply@blogger.com
