If glow is uneven, shake vigorously for several minutes. A magnet can help guide the mixing ball to redistribute pigment.

No. Magnets are not included.
Magnets may be purchased in our shop under Deeva Nail Care → Deeva Tools, or from another retailer.
How do I use magnetic polish?
- Apply a thin coat to one nail at a time
- Hold magnet a few millimeters above wet polish until dry
- Longer hold creates sharper designs
- Shorter hold creates softer designs
Magnetic pigment requires wet polish to move. Once dry, the particles will not respond.

What does “UP” or “OGUP” mean?
UP and OGUP indicate the use of real unicorn pigment, not aurora pigment.
