My attempt at duping press-ons

Currently wearing a Nail Reformation set (do not remember the name sorry) and decided I wanted to try recreating it with my lacquer stash.

I wish non-gel magnetics would pop a bit more, but I think I got pretty close!

Base - 2x KB Shimmer, Fillin’ Groovy
Pink “aura” - eyeshadow powder applied with an angled packing brush
Magnetic top coat - 1x Fancy Gloss, Satellite Pull
Top coat - 1x Fancy Gloss, Glossy Top Coat

I’ve tried doing the “aura” style with lacquer and sponges but I fail miserably every time. I find eyeshadow so much easier to work with!

Decided to test out Fancy Gloss’s new fine particle magnetic topper, Satellite Pull. I believe it sold out rather quickly but a restock is definitely in its future.

Overall, this topper is VERY reactive and fine. I’ll probably try sandwiching experiments in the future with it, but overall it’s very stunning and exactly what I was looking for in a magnetic topper.

From left to right-

Base (blue): Essie, word on the street
Magnet: 5D Print factory glass bead spinner

Base (shimmery pink/orange): PFD, Eternal glow
Magnet: velvet style

Base (shimmery white): Mooncat, Pearl Clutcher
Magnet: zig zag? Idk what else to call it

Base (jelly purple): Cirque, Blurple Jelly
Magnet: flower magnet

Kylo for scale, scroll to see all the space this thing offers! I felt like I was taking a gamble when purchasing this because it didn’t have many reviews: https://a.co/d/0eYpBQGK (the 6-tier)

But holy shart this is the best thing I’ve ever purchased. Before you ask, yes I have said this before and tend to exaggerate things, but this time I actually mean it.

If you’re like I was, you’re struggling between multiple containers and bags— running back and forth to get everything you need for doing your nails in a comfortable spot. This has rolly wheels that you can lock!!!

EDIT: The trays are removable, including the top open tray. They take up a lot of space when in the drawers, but I like giving my fav polishes center stage. Currently holding 83 polishes with space for about 40-50 more (the drawers go deep, see addtl pic in comments). If I was only storing polish, and not all my other nail shit, I’d say this thing could store 200 polishes easily.

Run, don’t want to get one.

Retail Brand: Una Gella Extra Short Square Nail Tips
Design: self-done

Really liking these short, practical “squoval” nails! I find the short size to be just slightly too long to wear all the time (though the length itself makes me feel bonita). Highly recommend these! I’ve been using the short almond size for a while, super high quality tips IMO.
