A love letter to DRK Nails Magic Effect

So I’ve been playing around with DRK Nails magic effect for magnetics and I’m honestly impressed.

I’ve never been able to get as sharp a line as this, and it really helps the edges get the full effect in a glass bead. Y’all this is day 6 of my mani… the line is still so crisp!

It save a little time but not a huge amount, but definitely makes the whole process less annoying.

I’ve done two mania with it, one on BKL Pomegranate Seeds and this one as a more fine particle magnetic with BKL Gift of Divinity.

Base: ILNP

Two coats of BKL Gift of Divinity back to back no magnetization. Just one coat all fingers. Then right back in for the second coat.

Waited about 8 minutes.

Painted on generous coat of DRK Nails Magic Effect for magnetics and immediately did the magnetic effect of my choice for 60 seconds on one nail, then did the next one with DRK ME, then back to the first nail to apply Sally Hansen Insti-dri TC and magnetize for 30 seconds or so. Then then third nail with DRK, back to second nail for TC and so on and so forth.

Normally I’d magnetize second coat for 2.5 mins, then immediately float TC on same nail for 1.5 minutes one nail at a time.

So it defo saves some time and goes faster.

You should wait the 8-10 minutes for the nail polish to dry before using the DRK though.

I’ve used Sally Hansen Insti Dri and BKL I’m fast TC over the DRK and noticed no loss in performance. If anything, no more tiny bubbles, no threat of streaking with fine particles. Both TCs and lasted 5+ days with very minimal chipping and I am NOT careful with my nails.

If you’ve been struggling with magnetics this stuff is pretty great!
