About Gelish Magneto – Magnetic Gel Polish

Explore the laws of Attraction with Gelish Magneto, a collection of EFX Magnetic Gel-Polish and Nail Lacquer that instantly transforms your manicure from natural to extraterrestrial. The metallic particle enriched nail colors fuse with the magnet to create nail art that is truly a force to be reckoned with. The two easy to apply formulas are currently available in six unique ATTRACT-ive shades.

How Does Gelish® Magneto Work?

To create the magnetic EFX design pattern, while the nail is still wet, immediately place the cap that contains the magnet directly above the nail for 3-5 seconds (Place the lip of the cap just above the cuticle area allowing the magnet to be positioned perfectly above the nail).
If using the Magnetic Gel Polish, cure under the LED 18G light for 30 seconds or a UV light for 2 minutes. If using Magneto Lacquer, let dry completely and finish with a top coat.

Alright, I hope this is helpful. If you have question or comment, feel free to post it here.

It was CND Shellac sale and now it’s Gelish nail polish sale. Sale ends 2/14/2011. Only applies to Gelish nail polish.

Following after CND Shellac , we’re getting Gelish Soak Off Polish system to our store. There are 2 advantages Gelish has over CND, which are it costs less (compare CND Shellac $23.95 for 1/4 oz with Gelish $19.95 for 1/2 oz) and at this moment, has more colors (48 so far).

Gelish has more kits needed (cleanser, ph Bond, and remover), while with Shellac you can buy regular acetone and alcohol. From the point of health, we don’t know if Gelish is 3-big free. The manufacturer doesn’t explicitly state that in their website. In the mean time, we know (from CND) for sure that CND Shellac is big-3 free.
