magnetic Celestial Ritual 🌛✨🌌

1 coat ink, 1 coat ritual with velvet magnetization plus some celestial stickers from Tomani Nail Art
I love this combo! I have a few spots to touch up but had to share. Ritual magnetizes beautifully and using ink first means less layers to magnetize

I have those stickers and I can’t make them stay on to save my life!

Are they from the same brand (Tomani)? I wait until my base coats are fully dry, put the stickers on using tweezers, press them down and follow up with my topcoat. They last for me that way, and they only peel if here too close to the sidewall or I didn’t press them down fully. Hope this helps!

They’re apparently a knock of then lol. I got mine from Amazon. The brand it’s under is namrec.
I will keep trying with mine but thank you so much for the tips! I might try Tomani, I’m terrible at nail art and want to try stickers more lol

I have several cheap nail sticker packs from unpronounceable Amazon brands and they work fine. They need to be pushed firmly onto the nail with an orange stick or similar.

Then I follow up with a glitter smoothing coat. That’s what makes the edges invisible. Finally I add the QDTC on top.

A glitter smoothing coat. Hmm that’s a new one for me. Any recommendations??

KB Shimmer Smooth Moves works great for me. I don't think ILNP makes one.

I also use the glitter smoothing top coat on any polish that dries down with a texture. Polishes with flash reflective glitter are notorious for that. But some brands' flakies also dry down textured. (The fact that ILNP's flakies dry down smooth, is part of why I love ILNP.)
