The magnetic pigments are very reactive and the shifts absolutely stunning even in overcast weather. Great formula and smooth application. Highly recommend
Really pretty, I love the magnetic range. However I wish the colour contrast were a little bolder...
I love the colours of this polish, but I found it hard to get right the first few times in the excitement to use the polish.
I haven't quite got the hang of the magnet yet, but I'm working on it. I also have short nails, so I am having trouble getting the glass bead effect to work for me. Oh well. l really like the colour contrast in this magnetic.
I'm very much a newbie to magnetic polishes and I find this a little tricky to get right, I think because there are more different colours in one in comparison to some of the other magnetics. Can't wait when I finally get it right, because the photos are gorgeous!
Love this polish the magnetic particles are super reactive, very easy to use!
Stunning nail polish, the colours are so vibrant and the blue shimmer creates a beautiful deep purple from some angles. A lovely difference to the standard black base magnetics that I usually use. Have ordered many polishes from cosmic polish and keep coming back as I have had nothing but excellent things to say, and it is always amazing to support an Aussie brand. Keep up the great work!
I need to get a hang of holding the magnet (both as the layer dries, and the top coat!!). But even the nails that have not had a distinctive 'line' still have the lovely bright multicolour shimmer, which changes depending on the angle you view it at. Any trouble I have had has been user error (dropping the magnet on your nail does not help the look) and not this gorgeous polish.
This polish made my jaw drop. It is stunning. The shift between the deep purple base, the sparkle of blue and the golden flare of the magnetic particles is pure magic. The formula floats into the nail, dries smoothly and reacts well to the magnet. I'll be getting back-ups of this one.
Honestly Im never buying from another brand again
Great magnetic effect, easy application. Wide brush helps with a streak free application and great fast magnetic cat eye effect. I use a quick dry top coat and hold magnet again while that dries, works like a dream. Beautiful purple to copper gold shift.
What a stunning combination of colours. Really is like watching shooting stars across the sky
I'm still learning all the different possibilities and techniques for magnietic polish but this is so pretty. To get the best effect, do a thin base coat of this polish and then once that dries, a thick coat of polish and quickly hold the magnet over your nail as close as you can. The magnet unveils a beautiful orange down the centre, and a deep violet around the edges. So lovely.
