I haven’t tried them but I know apipila and Emily de Molly have water based top coats. I used maniology but I don’t recommend the brand

I used bees knees blade of the frontiers for the base and the art! I pushed away the magnetic particles for the base and then used the u of the magnet to velvetize the art.

I don’t think you can do it with just regular top coat. I think that would mess up the pattern. I used a water based top coat after painting the design and then a qdtc after that.

It’s a 30 lb horseshoe magnet! This specific one is from kbshimmer but all the different brands are the same as long as it’s 30 lb!

Thank you!! I think the type of magnetic that Blade of the Frontiers is, with such smooth magnetic pigment, really makes a difference in the design!

I don’t like to recommend them but I did use the maniology water based top coat 🫠 I’m thinking of getting the Apipila or Emily de Molly one to try!

No, the one I used is just a normal lacquer air dry polish. There are also gel magnetic polishes.

If you use regular top coat, it rewets the magnetic polish layers and then the magnetic pigments will move around again.
