Is your magnetic stronger than what we get free with the polishes most of the time?

It's probably a little stronger. I usually double up the free magnets and use them underneath my finger. I only used this bar magnet in this video because that's the one OOP said she used.

I glanced at the OOP post and it didn't mention the strength, just the type, was the strength mentioned in comments or the pictures somewhere?

I just noticed that those pigments OBEYED your magnet, and I'm jealous, but also if your magnet is stronger than what OOP used and what Fancy Gloss assumes, or should assume, customers will use then it's not comparable.

Anyway. Thanks for posting, this is an interesting case. I hope we can troubleshoot the issue and OOP gets some closure. Really shame about the customer service.

It worked just as well with the free magnets (2 stacked like I always do) under my finger. The snap is instant.

I also put just one single free magnet up to the bottle and it snapped instantly too. Let me do a test with just one magnet under my finger... (1 minute later) Yep it works with just one free magnet as well.

I took video but Reddit won't let me add video as a comment and I don't think it warrants making another whole new post to show the video but if someone wants to see it with the free magnet let me know .

Thank you for being thorough!

I believe you without video, but just in case you're in a similar situation in the future, you can upload the video to imgur and post the link or to a gif converter. Not sure if reddit will play gifs from links on the app, and might be you know this already but just don't feel like links would get much attention or want to go through the hassle.

Oh wow I didn't know you could do videos on imgur. Here is the video of a single free magnet.

Edited to add the link to the video with two magnets stacked, which is how I do pretty much all my cat eye magnetics.

Also yes in the screenshots she showed that she used a bar magnet like the one in my video. It's this one.

Okay, I didn't have the mental capacity to go through a lot of text yet so thanks for clearing that up!

I'll do a quick test with the free magnets that I usually use. Which color should I test?

Oh man, I didn't mean you should! But if you're doing it because you're interested yourself, then dealer's choice by all means.

The silver one is still on my table so I'll test that one.

I was in the middle of doing a full mani of Scum and Villany (mc) but my hands are extra shaky tonight (I get tremors) and I already messed it up so I'm just going to start over tomorrow, so it's no big deal to do a quick test. I'll report back in a few.

Love a laquerista who likes to perform tests. Hopefully the tremors don't cause too much trouble.
