Well, cast your mind back to the basics of how magnets work. If one has a positive charge and another has a negative charge- they will be attracted to each other and stick together.

This is essentially how our magnetic nail polish works! When you place a magnet over wet nail polish it has to be still wet the metal particles in the polish rise towards the magnet, creating a pattern. Holding it over the polish as long as possible will allow more magnetic particles to rise to the surface.

Well, that is how this polish works! When you place the magnet over the wet nail polish the polish must still be wet to work , the metal particles rise towards the magnet.
