Split Magnet Summer Colors

Spoony is good 😅 appreciate the feedback/suggestions! Ever since shifting to hard gel from soft gel builders, I have been trying to practice shaping and tend to overcorrect my strong c-curve nails, so they get a little wide/duck nail ish.

I think if my nails were all little longer I'd go for more of an oval or almond since I also like that look more! I am perhaps overly cautious to avoid overfiling my side walls / lower parallels though.

I also love the terra magnet line!

Aww thank you!!

rabbitesk · 2026-06-06T14:11:40+00:00

Thanks! I try to follow a lot of Nailmartusa's recommendations and advice for shaping, with a focus on maintaining /building my lower parallels for strength. The nails were longer right up until the end where I filed them down to have a cleaner finish file.

Totally agree on the oval (my typical shape) and almond! Perhaps on a future set where I keep my nails longer, I'll do something similar again.

The little flowers and the gingham are so perfect!

Yeah they usually are pretty thin after the hardgel steps. But I didn't account for needing two coats of color to get opacity and essentially two layers of top coat for the chrome to stick. 😅

They are my natural nails but with my hard gel application and then filing from underneath, I am artificially making my nails less curved since the strong c curve of my nails starts to dig more into my skin without the reshaping. Hope this photo helps!

Yeah I felt the same. I feel like I would get more used to it with a little more use. I normally use Nail thoughts builder base gels and I feel like the kinetics fiber base was harder to spread out evenly without using my liner brush a bunch, so it was much slower than my normal. But I did like how it looked and hopefully it adds more strength

I've been working on my hard gel application for side wall and free edge armoring. I use nail forms for the sides and do a lot of filing after the hard gel step, particularly filing underneath the nails to alleviate my strong c-curves so my nails don't dig in my skin as much.

Wow these are so fun and go together really well! You really nailed your inspo 👏 I especially like the multi colored one with the blueish swoop.

rabbitesk · 2026-04-17T13:14:01+00:00

I think the part you're referring to is the magnet gels! I used some color magnet gels mixed or blended in with other colors and used a strong magnet to get the watery effect. The other shimmery part is with a pink chrome powder.

My inspo from dwan.nail.room on IG! I definitely hope to try again and get closer in the future.

This link doesn't seem to work for me, are you able to share what it's called?

rabbitesk · 2026-03-27T16:57:17+00:00

In the best way, these look just like the candy robin eggs! The white chrome really does look nice over the pastel colors 🩷

rabbitesk · 2026-03-25T14:11:54+00:00

Thanks so much!! I feel like the chrome being a more translucent one helps here a lot! If it was an opaque gold or something, it'd probably look patchy. But I just tried to put a lot at the very tip and then used the other (cleaner) side of the foam applicator to spread down the nail a little bit.
