ILNP Glow stick & FlipSide on ring finger
Essie base
Essie Gel-Setter QDTC.
Glass Bead magnet spinner
I just got these two polishes (though not being retired) as part of my ILNP retirement haul. I also just got my spinner in the mail yesterday from the Etsy seller someone else linked here the other day. I only got Glow Stick as an afterthought toss into my basket. I wasn’t super enchanted by it but everyone who posts about it says it’s glorious.
Friends, just get it. Pictures don’t do it justice and it changes color between 2 and 3 coats. I have one hand with just two coats and it shines gold glass bead with barely a hint of blue. My other hand (the first one I did, and the one in the video) has three coats and the holo shine is bright purple!
I’ve done magnet polishes before but not with a spinner and, NGL, doing both hands: base, 3 coats of polish, QDTC and magnet spinning for EVERY coat except base took literally 3 hours.
Still. I am utterly entranced. I sent this a video to a gel using girlfriend. 10 min later she replied: “Ordered.” 😂

This is the setup that finally made my glass bead manis manageable for time!
It’s amazing how different this polish looks with different numbers of coats! So versatile and so pretty both ways. Thanks for sharing!
Wow, Flipside was not on my radar but now it sure as hell is 🤩
yesssss join us! all hail the magnetron!!!
Thanks so much for the explicit instructions! I saw a post yesterday for a sold out battery operated spinner from Etsy that’s on back order and my lizard brain was like… want!!! I’ve been just manually spinning the 5D thing with the 30# magnet so combining it with my lab spinner will serve the same purpose and save me from buying yet another gadget. Now I just need to find a suitable rubber band. Yay!
