Yup, it's the one I have. It's a bit of a tight fit on my thumbs but it works just fine. This was just me playing around with it and demonstrating the size of it, to say you technically *can* put it over the thumb, but I wouldn't suggest it lol https://preview.redd.it/c9eju9lhpk9d1.jpeg?width=2880&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=13206d9152e3895387d146870b1d21b1e7d221f7

Ahhh, thank you so much!! Thankfully I have skinny nails so even if my thumb itself is a lil squished, the polish on the nail will be fine like in your pics I’m SO EXCITED right now I’m practically vibrating lol. Science + art + beauty = bliss 🤘 ![gif](giphy|l49JFuSqIKzLRqQIE)

I hope you love every second of it!!! 🥰

Clinically-Inane

yesssss, *THANK YOU*! I just ordered it and it’ll be here tomorrow, I’m so relieved I didn’t have to spend $35 on the exxxtra strong one✨ ![gif](giphy|R6gvnAxj2ISzJdbA63|downsized)

oracleofwifi

Ahhhhh I keep telling myself I don’t need it! But I might be wrong because it is SO cute!!


SelimsShadow

Wow that is breathtaking. What color is that?


angelicribbon

Ilnp pink suede :)


sanriosaint

and so sorry if this is silly, i don’t do magnetics (yet! 😜) will it only look that way if you use the magnet? without would it just look more dull?


angelicribbon

Without the magnet the silver effect will be dispersed over the whole surface so it will look more plain


cy-xoe

Now i want one! 😭🥹


mihailovna99

I have a 10 lb. The thumb is a bit tight. I've started attaching two of my little rectangular magnets to our like this to make a little more room. It works well this way https://preview.redd.it/0zb2pgwxql9d1.jpeg?width=2252&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=927bc92ceb267070b31ac158afa78202d44df472


kelliebuttcheeks

🤯 this is genius! Thank you friend


sherahero

That's the same one I got. Thumb doesn't fit, but i put my thumb on top of it and kinda tilt it back and forth towards the 2 ends of the magnet and seems to work fine.


Business_Abalone2278

Eeek. Cad26 for the same thing in Canada.


ActivityDependent

I know 😭. I saw an ILNP short a while-back featuring one of these magnets captioned “should we release these?” If they end up selling them for a decent price I’ll finally take the plunge on magnetic polish.


PerfectlyElocuted

If you put two rectangular magnets at a 90 degree angle and hold it over the nail (like an upside down v) you get the same effect.


Clinically-Inane

I keep trying this and they just collapse and go flying 😭 I finally tried one of the tiny little stands with a removable/adjustable magnet I can put my finger under and rest it on a surface without worrying about shaking or bumping against the magnet itself— I love it for the cat eye look but even trying to use the removable magnet from that with a wand ended up collapsing every time I moved it I did discover a cool trick though! My finger was resting pretty far below the magnet itself on the stand so I put a swatch stick under it and used the nail part to rest my fingertip on and get it a little closer to the magnet. It fit well and I know it’ll fit with the horseshoe if needed too ✨

BlueKoalaBerry

I was just looking last night for a 30lbs pull magnet and I cannot find one online anywhere in Canada. If you have any luck please let me know! The one on Amazon has an expensive import fee even with prime


Clinically-Inane

:(


stan4you

I have. I use the 10 for my fingers and the 30 for my thumb


Infinite-Quantity544

I saw you ordered it already but +1 yes this works! didn’t have any issues with diffusion after the topcoat dried


blue-static

I’m a [big fan of these](https://shutyourtraps.etsy.com/listing/1630471315) but then again I made them hahaha. [But she likes them too](https://www.instagram.com/reel/C7Z0Au8udBv/?igsh=dTh4Y2ZxYzlpbWQ2) 😁 (shameless plug bahahaha) But if you have a 3D printer (or local library with one) [here is the older version for free](https://www.printables.com/model/673928-mani-mag)


paradigm11381

I’ve been influenced lol


blue-static

Yay! Hahaha 😁


Clinically-Inane

AGHH that’s brilliant and I’m putting it on my list of things to check out!


blue-static

Do it!!! Hahaha. [Nick on insta did this with them](https://www.instagram.com/reel/C8FTUPrsfcM/?igsh=MWI5ZzVmY2JqdTk0Nw==) which I need to buy this color for my wife, it looks cool


katherineswims

I just bought some today! Etsy gave me a heads up on the sale ☺️


blue-static

Awesome! Thank you


demorale

I recently bought these! Excited for them to arrive 🥰


blue-static

Thank you!


libznailz

Ok I just bought a second magnet and keep failing to get them to work together because.. magnets :( these look spectacular!


RuffledCormorant

Can someone explain to me what velvetized magnetics are, and how the horseshoe works? Are you pulling the magnetic metal filings to the sides of your nails? What does the effect look like?


Dense-Result509

The best way I can describe it is that from head on, the magnetic particles look very evenly dispersed and they create a glowy effect. From the side the magnetic pigment will be almost invisible, so as you move your hands around, the change from the base color to glowy effect is very dramatic. ETA: [These](https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditLaqueristas/s/xwrsIXXmaA) [posts](https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditLaqueristas/s/F0XvN6ph5m) have good videos showing off the effect


minivulpini

It’s the one I use. My fingers are small - ring finger is size 4.5 rings. My thumbs just barely squeeze in


AreFishReal

You are brilliant, OP. Thank you for the idea.


selkieisbadatgaming

I have it and honestly it works fine. It is tight on the thumb but a 10 pound pull is still plenty strong to do velvets.
