I tried the glass bead method for the first time and used my bottle of Mooncat Smokescreen for the first time as well! Unfortunately, the bottle (never opened) had leaked all over and I had to clean up an absolute mess before getting down to business. It's a good reminder to check every purchase when it arrives. This might not be the best color to show off the glass bead effect, but I really liked the way it looked, and a coat of Moondust added a little extra sparkle that I think it needed.

Products used:
Base coat: Nailtiques Formula 2 Plus
Polish: Mooncat Smokescreen (2x)
Topper: Mooncat Moondust (1x)
Top Coat: Essie Gel Setter
Magnet: 3D printed glass bead nail tool from 5DPrintFactory on Etsy
I magnetized the second coat of Smokescreen, Moondust, and the top coat layers. The effect has lasted for the last few days without dispersing. I think the effect is more subtle than other magnetic polishes, but I think it turned out well and was worth sharing the results.
Stop this right now.
