Help me please! I love the glass bead effect right after it’s done, but it disperses so fast. Faster than cat eye which I can get to stay lined quite well.
I magnetize for 60 seconds. I magnetize both last and top coat. It’s totally makeshift horseshoe magnet with a hair tie tied to it that I spin between my fingers 😂 Not super efficient but it gives a nice bead initially.

Should I hold it longer than 60 seconds? Attach to a battery powered stirrer/whisker maybe so the bead ends up smaller reducing the dispersion across the entire surface?

I read a base coat helps? Any recommendations? I really want to “nail” this some day!
