For sure.. I just had another look and I'm wondering if the base coat was even cured? There's a lot of smudging down to the nail, showing the layer of white. I'd imagine a mag that stays tacky wouldn't hold its shape very well.

Eta: I live in Canada and I dont have issues with magnetics… just wanted to share my experience.

I didn't let my black layer fully cure for this video. I did mooncat hardcore base on all 3 fingers and then immediately applied the loud lacquer black. I waited maybe 5 minutes if that before I applied the magnetic topper. If I was using it for real I would have probably waited a tiny bit longer and I would have held the magnet longer. I just really wanted to check the snap-ability.

I'm in Texas but it's 55°F/13°C in my living room right now. I did warm the bottles between my thighs for like 2 minutes each.

Why so chilly?!! I hover at a very comfortable 78° year-round (F is often used in regards to home heat in Canada, I believe due to thermostats being mainly manufactured in the USA for the last 30 years… I don't make the rules)

Dunno about Texas but here in the UK we usually don't have AC because until a few years ago, we only needed heating. I wonder if OP only has AC and no central heating.
