Magnetic leopard/cheetah nails

I recently got my hands on some magnetic polishes. They've been around for a long time now, but I honestly didnt think they would work. I saw some at the store the other day on sale and decided to give hem a try. I got the brown and purple one. 

I tried them as soon as I got home from the store. I was not  successful on my first try. My problem was that when I put the magnet over the nail, I would keep rotating the magnet thinking it would make a better effect on the nail. That didn't work!

For my second attempt I actually read the directions and it worked. I could clearly see the pattern created by the magnet and was so amazed! 

I immediately fell in love with these magnetic polishes. They  look great on their own, but I just wanted to try something different. I thought that the effect resembled the color of a cheetah/leopard if I stamped the pattern over it. So I gave it a try and I loved it! 

Here's what you'll need if you want to recreate this look:
Base and top coat (orly top 2 bottom)
Brown magnetic nail polish. (Sally Hansen magnetic polish (901 golden coconut). I have the polish a shake to "activate" the magnet in the polish and  I applied one coat and let it dry. I then applied a thicker, second coat and pit the magnetic cap over the nail. Make sure it doesn't touch the actual nail. Leave it for 10 seconds and remove. Viola! You'll be left with a gorgeous magnetic effect on your nails. I did this on all my nails
Stamper and scraper (konad)
Cheetah/leopard image plate (bundle monster m-221
Black stamping nail polish (Kleancolor black) I used this to stamp the cheetah design from the image plate on to ally nails. 

➡I also used acetone to clean up exceeds polish on my skin, stamper, scraper and image plate.
