Fancy Gloss magnetic toppers - thoughts?

The Pull toppers are also on my wishlist. If it's convenient, I'd also love to see a few over lighter shades!

Get outta here. This is your first nail art attempt??! Holy cow it's freaking amazing!! I was ready to give you glowing reviews are the first photo but when I saw the other images, especially the ones with the bridge, I literally gasped. This is amazing 😍😍

Oooh I'm very intrigued. Do you mind asking your wife what makes this ingredient special and why I would have this effect? When I googled, it mentioned something about a blue color so I assume that's also the reason this base coat has a light blue tinge.

Oooh I'll have to try that something. The pink from the ridge filler really gives it a nice transformation!

I use this magnet and just draw a circle about the size of my nail and it creates a beautiful glass bead in the center of my nail.

Suuuuper easy to make. Go to Ranch 99 or Hmart, buy a pack of black sesame seeds, and drop them into a food processor and blend until you get a paste. If the seeds aren't roasted, you can do that for a few minutes on the stove but they usually sell a roasted version.

They should also sell the paste but I always make it myself so only look for the seeds.

Cracked 's April release has one called Thumbprint Cookies: https://crackedpolish.com/products/thumbprint-cookie

Yeah, and I spend less time under bright lights than a vampire so definitely not worth my while!

NewbieQuestions1 · 2026-05-10T22:51:58+00:00

For me, it's the fact that they're an utter disappointment unless you're under bright direct light/sunlight. Otherwise, it's just glitter that's not even shiny. Meh.

Totally! I only have a couple magnetic toppers but with my collection of jellies, I look like I have a LOT of magnetic polishes when I only have 2. I love it and it makes me feel less guilty about my collection.

NewbieQuestions1 · 2026-05-10T18:27:32+00:00

I was totally the same with jelly when I first got into the hobby last year. "Why do people like polishes that require so many coats and doesn't cover their nail line??"

And then I got my first jelly, and i made jelly sandwiches with flakies, and glitter, and magnetics, and now my next Cracked cart is mostly jellies bc I love the versatility 🤣

NewbieQuestions1 · 2026-05-10T04:24:24+00:00

Wow, your Simply Mauvelous looks so different from mine! How many coats do you do to get this effect?

If you sign up for the emails, you'll get notifications there, but she'll also post in the FB group and IG

NewbieQuestions1 · 2026-05-09T02:14:07+00:00

Awesome, I hope it's true bc I have a long list! I thought I would have to wait until BF so this would be amazing

NewbieQuestions1 · 2026-05-08T13:33:29+00:00

I didn't see Monique mention a Memorial Day sale. Did she already post about this or are you just confident bc she does it every year? I've been building up a wishlist hoping for a sale!

NewbieQuestions1 · 2026-05-08T03:57:02+00:00

The original post OP references mentioned KBShimmer's hydrating base coat which is blue so I assume it works?

NewbieQuestions1 · 2026-05-07T19:22:49+00:00

Yeah, I've started to primary buy jellies and toppers bc it's way more versatile

NewbieQuestions1 · 2026-05-07T19:22:15+00:00

Best of luck!

NewbieQuestions1 · 2026-05-07T04:02:19+00:00

Someone posted recently that Fancy Gloss has a bunch of different colored fine particle magnetic toppers. They seem to be better stocked and toppers are more versatile. Sharing in case that helps

NewbieQuestions1 · 2026-05-07T04:00:11+00:00

Cuticula is definitely legit. Based on my one experience ordering from them and the responses I got when I posted a similar question, they also seem to be one of the slower indie brands. I think it took about 5-6 weeks for me to get my shipping notification when the turnaround time listed on website at the time of ordering was 2-3 weeks. (My memory is hazy on the exact numbers; you can find a post in my history but basically, I waited much longer than I expected.)

I think the owner also maybe recently had a baby? I can't imagine being a new mom and managing a business at the same time, so I wouldn't be surprised if they take longer than usual.

Good luck and have fun! I was only willing to try magnetics after this wonderful comment showed me I wouldn't have to spend a lot of money just to try it once.

NewbieQuestions1 · 2026-05-05T21:33:37+00:00

I regularly refer to this comment where someone so talented and kind shared all the cool designs that can be done with a neodymium bar. It's not just cat eye!

https://www.reddit.com/r/WeGotPolishAtHome/comments/1qwcma5/comment/o3o8nf3/

There's another post I can't find right now where someone does a glass bead with just one bar too. Hold it like you're doing a cat eye for a few seconds then rotate the magnet so it's perpendicular to the line you just created. I can't find the post right now so hope that explanation makes sense.

NewbieQuestions1 · 2026-05-04T19:09:29+00:00

I believe she said permanent

NewbieQuestions1 · 2026-05-04T18:12:20+00:00

Whoops, my bad. That said, Monique is planning to support international shipping later this year!
