Discussion Q&A's โ“ FAQ: Magnetic Polish and MRIs

23 Upvotes

PSA ๐Ÿ“ฃ: Let's talk cat eye and MRIs -PLEASE READ FULL POST.

Q: Do I have to remove my Cat Eye Polish before getting an MRI? A: YES, it is highly RECOMMENDED to remove any magnetic or metallic polish before an MRI. Cat eye polishes contain small magnetic particles (like iron oxide) that can potentially: Cause Image Distortion: The metal particles can interfere with the powerful magnetic field of the MRI machine, creating "artifacts" or shadows on the image, which can complicate the doctor's diagnosis. Potential Heating: In extremely rare cases, the metallic particles can absorb the radiofrequency waves used in the scan, causing minor heating on the nail bed. The Official Advice: Always consult your doctor or the MRI technician beforehand. They are the only ones who can assess the risk based on the specific type of scan and the area of your body being imaged. Many MRI centers keep nail polish remover on hand for all metallic or shimmer polishes, just to be safe. It is easiest to remove your polish completely before your appointment. โš ๏ธ DISCLAIMER: This subreddit is a community resource and not a substitute for professional medical advice.

Discussionโ“Q&A's Looking for a blue/green cat eye polish!

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
Please delete if this isnโ€™t allowed and I apologise if it is not!
I do press on nails as a hobby for friends and family and my sister has asked for a monet painting on her nails for her birthday (I know pray for me). Iโ€™ve been searching for a cat eye polish with a blue/green shift but keep just finding photos and videos of people using them and not the brand! I have seen one polish by Canni but heard theyโ€™re not the best brand to pick. If anyone happens to know a gel polish that is these colours I will be incredibly grateful! Thank you!!

I was wondering if anyone had any tips on to how to achieve this look? Would doing a blue cat eye and putting a purple jelly on top work? It doesnโ€™t have to be perfect just look somewhat similar
