Lyra 001 - ORLY FX Magnetic Nail Polish

Not for ORLY FX Magnetic Nail Lacquer! It air-dries like traditional nail polish, making it easy to create magnetic nail art at home without a curing lamp.

Magnetic nail polish contains special particles that respond to a magnet while the polish is wet. The magnet shifts these particles to create light-catching patterns and dimensional effects.

We recommend applying your first coat and allowing it to dry without using the magnet. This creates a beautiful, opaque base. Then, apply your second coat and topcoat while inside the magnet in order to create the cat-eye effect.

Yes! We recommend applying topcoat while your nail is in the ORLY FX Cat Eye Magnet and wait 10 seconds in order to ensure your design does not disperse.

While the ORLY FX Cat Eye Magnet is designed for an easy, consistent cat-eye effect, you can absolutely use other magnets and play around with different designs!

For the easiest application, pair your polish with the ORLY FX Cat Eye Magnet. Its finger groove and strong magnetic pull help create a consistent effect without maneuvering a handheld magnet. The magnet is sold separately.

You’ll want to hold your finger in the magnet for at least 10 seconds or until the lacquer is set so your design stays in place.

Yes! You can wear ORLY FX Magnetic Nail Polish without magnetizing it for a beautiful shimmer or multichrome finish. Use the Cat Eye Magnet to reveal the additional dimensional effect.

The solvents in nail polish can make each layer “wet” again. This means the magnetic particles have an opportunity to move around again. To keep your design looking fresh, make sure to apply your topcoat while your finger is in the ORLY FX Cat Eye Magnet and wait 10 seconds before removing.
