How to Use Drink More Water Magnetic Polish for Velvet Effect

Quick answer

Apply Drink More Water with a strong magnet to create a velvet finish. Hold the magnet close for 10-15 seconds after each coat for best particle alignment.

Step-by-step instructions for velvet nail effect

1. Prepare your nails: Apply a base coat and let it dry completely. Clean any dust or oil from the nail plate for better adhesion. Skipping base coat may cause staining from the deep blue pigment.
2. Apply the first thin coat: Apply a thin, even layer of Drink More Water. Do not cure or dry yet—immediately proceed to the next step. Thinner coats help the magnetic particles move more freely into place.
3. Hold the magnet for 10–15 seconds: Position a rounded velvet-effect magnet 2–3 mm above the wet polish. Hold it still for 10–15 seconds to align the shimmer particles. Moving the magnet too soon or holding it too far away will weaken the velvet effect.
4. Apply second and third coats: Repeat step 2 and 3 for each additional coat until you reach desired opacity. Let each coat dry between applications if using regular polish. For full coverage with Drink More Water, expect 3 coats for maximum depth.
5. Seal with top coat: Once the final coat is dry, apply a glossy top coat to protect the magnetic finish and enhance the velvet shimmer. A quick-dry top coat can reduce smudging of the magnetic pattern.
