A set of three different magnets encased in a plastic wand. The )( side of the magnet creates patterns that look like opposing waves (or a turtles shell, if you will) and the other eye-shaped side of the magnet creates a pattern that resembles an oval with lines spreading out. However, these magnets are both incredibly versatile and you can easily shift the magnetic pattern based on the angle at which you hold it over the nail. The short rectangular magnet at the bottom of the wand creates a sort of flared, cat-eye effect.

It can be used to activate any magnetic polishes on your nails while the polish is still wet. Hover the wand for at least 60 seconds over the nail while the polish dries, or paint your nail directly on top of the magnet while the polish sets.

You only need to magnetise the final coat of the polish, as well as magnetise it the same way after applying top coat, it is not necessary to magnetise the initial coat of the polish.
