I haven’t seen many swatches of this one here, so thought I’d share what it looks like IRL, without any fancy lighting setups or photo enhancements. My results are quite different from the photos on the website, which seems to be pretty common. This isn’t a LynB issue… it happens across many brands. With LynB in particular, I tend to like the IRL results even better than whatever is shown on the site, so I can’t complain.
The magnetic particles in this one are very fine. They’re reactive initially, but don’t stay put very long. I went from fairly crisp cat eye to almost completely dispersed in a very short amount of time. The purple base is also different from most of the swatch photos. It’s more subdued than shown, but also incredibly sparkly in bright light.
All of that said, I actually love how this turned out. The way the silver magnetic particles dispersed really does give a sort of foggy effect.

Eeeeeeee I got this one in my latest order! Can’t wait for it to arrive!
I got this during the March sale and also picked up her topcoat since its toulene free and I was able to get a real sharp crisp line that didnt disperse. I think it looks good like this, too. I struggled a lot with magnetics in particular and hoping its just been a top coat issue this entire time.
