Master Magnetics 1.18 in. Alnico Horseshoe Magnet 13 lb. Pull 5.5 MGOe Red 1 pc.

I use this for cat eye nail polish and it works really well. Its strong enough without being overly powerful. It is on the smaller side so if you have wider fingers they might not fit into the middle very well, but it works for me.

I use this magnet for creating a velvet nail polish effect, and it's the perfect size for that. My thumb is a little bit of a tight squeeze, but it does the job. Perfect velvet nails on the first try! I might get another just to cut down on curing time.

Overall good quality. I guess I could’ve made it work (I got this to use with magnetic nail polish) but I just plan on returning and splurging on the extra few dollars to get the next size up. My thumb would’ve only been able to sit on top unless I really squeezed it in and I don’t want to have to fuss with putting the polish on. The rest of my fingers did fit but with next to no room otherwise. I can assume that the very next size up would be absolutely perfect for this!

I'm giving this item four stars because it is not the magnet's fault that my fingers don't fit very well into it! I'm using them to do velvet style manicures + I'm having a hard time squeezing my finger into it. I might have to come back and get a larger one. But if you have small fingers you're not going to have any problem at all. It's very strong and it functions fantastic for what it is. I guess I'll use it on my refrigerator?

Very strong

I see reviews saying the 10lb magnet doesn't pull magnetic polish as hard as the 20 or 30lb. While technically true, let's be realistic. We're talking about tiny little magnetic flakes in nail polish, not a big chunk of metal. I have this little 10lb magnet and also the honkin' huge 30lb. I use them both so I can do two nails at once, and you know what? I can't tell which nails I did with the 30lb and which I did with the 10lb. If anything you need to go for the PHYSICAL SIZE OF THE MAGNET. If you have wide fingers the 10lb isn't going to be for you. If you want to lay a straight magnet overtop of the horseshoe for the mixed velvet look you're going to need the larger size of the 30lb magnet. Pay attention to the dimension of the magnet vs the size of your fingers and you'll be just fine, the flakes in your nail polish are no match for the 10lb size.

The magnetism is good but i have to squeeze my fingers into tje opening to magnetize my polish.

I bought this to use with magnetic nail polishes and it works great! It’s a little tight on my thumb so if you have bigger hands I would find a bigger magnet but it works just as I wanted!

Very strong use it to hold parts on grinder that are very difficult to hold any other way

Little magnet, lots of power.

It was a lot smaller than I expected and doesn't work too well for what I bought it for but it's still a good magnet.
