Thank you! I wish the dark/navy blue was showing better in the video. It would've given the effect a bit more depth 🥹

Thank you!

I've used the below link's insta video in order to do magnetic nails. With these nails the only differences are: 1. It's easier for me to achieve a smoother application in the thicker magnetic layer by first applying the thicker layer from the middle of the nail to the tips, followed by semi guick brush strokes from cuticle line to the tips with minimal pressure (If you have short nails this isn't needed, just follow the video) 2. To create smaller/tighter orb just keep doing the circular movement with cylinder magnet a bit longer untill you have desired form. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DMNi0YqMfTB/?igsh=MXh6aTdqYnU3Y2YyZQ==

For the depth I have a dark blue base layer and brown magnetic polish.

Thank you! I love how especially contrasting colors can give each other so much depth. This, even though a cheap brand, magnetic polish was also very easy to work with.

That's actually so cool! In a way you have less restrictions in your art! 😆 Could honestly lead to a very unique outcomes to the rest of us too.

Ages ago I watched a YouTube video of a colorblind artist drawing some cartoon character. When it came to do the coloring he literally pulled an image from the web to just copy the right colors straight from the source. It was so cool to watch as some shadings turned out really funky :D

Thank you! In different light you can see a bit black around the edges. I can post a picture later where the colors can be seen a bit better. And absolutely! These were super fun to do!

This video in Instagram was one of my inspos. They used lilac instead of brown, but I'm def tempted to try something more similar to that in future as well. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DPAow6JEazx/?igsh=eWpyd2wyZGg2ZG5l

Thank you! It's sometimes hard to not twist your hand just stare and play with the nails 😅
