What Makes Brujita a Unique Polish
Brujita from Lights Lacquer is a deep purple nail polish with lavender pigment and a magnetic finish. Unlike a standard creme or shimmer polish, Brujita contains magnetic particles that can be shaped into patterns using a magnet. The result is a textured, eye-catching effect on the nails that looks different from any regular polish.
The finish is described as magnetic: it uses magnetic particles or pigments that, when activated by a magnet, create a captivating nail art effect. The base color is a rich, dark purple with subtle lavender tones, making it a versatile choice for both everyday wear and special occasions.
How to Apply Brujita for the Magnetic Effect
To achieve the magnetic effect with Brujita, you must use a magnet. Here's a straightforward process:
Start with a clean, dry nail and apply a base coat if desired. Shake the bottle well to distribute the magnetic particles evenly. Apply a thin, even coat of Brujita. While the polish is still wet, hold a magnet close to the nail (but not touching it) for a few seconds. The magnetic particles will move and create a pattern. Repeat for each nail. Apply a second thin coat and repeat the magnet step for best results. Finish with a top coat to seal the design and add shine.
The key is to work quickly while the polish is still wet. If the polish dries before you use the magnet, the particles won't move. You can use a standard neodymium magnet or a specialized nail art magnet. Experiment with different distances and angles to create varied patterns.

Tips for Best Results
For the most dramatic magnetic effect, use a strong magnet. The stronger the magnet, the more pronounced the pattern. If you're new to magnetic polishes, practice on a few nails first to get a feel for the timing.
Brujita's deep purple shade is opaque enough to cover in two coats, but you can use three for a denser color. The magnetic effect is visible even with one coat, but two coats give a richer result.
Avoid thick coats; thin coats dry faster and make the magnetic particles easier to move. If you're using a top coat, apply it after the magnetic effect is set to avoid smudging the pattern.
