My First BKL Glass Bead

Damn, I can’t stop staring at my nails! I was looking at my nails instead of watching fireworks last night!

Products used:

1 coat nailtiques formula 2 (we needed some TLC)

1 coat KBShimmer Fillin Groovy

2 coats BKL Miromabby

1 coat Mooncat Speed Demon

I magnetized the second coat of polish and the top coat for roughly 90 seconds each.

Story:

I have some magnetics and usually do cat eye style. I often find velvet looks too flat to me even though I have a horseshoe magnet to use. I hadn’t even tried a full glass bead manicure because my magnetic stirrer swatches looked very meh. I wasn’t even really planning on doing a BKL Black Friday order. But my daughter and I love K-Pop Demon Hunters and so many of you are such big fans of the brand that I made an order. And then the magnetics got restocked and I made a second order to grab Floral Maiden and Rebirth & Renew, which were both sold out when I made my first order (I also got Rujinu and Shadow Mommy if I’m listing just the magnetics). And then while waiting for my order I saw the recent posts comparing manicures with the magnetic stirrer using your finger resting on with top nail up vs nail upside down over the stirrer and I realized I was just using it wrong because I’d only been using it nail facing up. I rested my finger on a packing peanut to keep the nail from bumping into the stirrer and so I didn’t have to try to hold my hand steady in the air and it worked great, so save your packing peanuts! I’ve used ILNP, Mooncat, and Clionadh magnetics and they’ve all been good but the BKL magnetic formula is the best I’ve tried.
