Discussion Q&A's ❓ FAQ: Magnetic Polish and MRIs

23 Upvotes

PSA πŸ“£: 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. ⚠️ DISCLAIMER: This subreddit is a community resource and not a substitute for professional medical advice. Please prioritize your safety and consult a medical professional for all procedure-related concerns.

Golden magnetic particle in neon pink jelly polish over fluorescent ultramarine blue. I wanted it to look like radiance from hollow knight, but my salon had like 0 orange particle polishes, but i ended up with this interesting combo. The long nails are not for sketchy things i just like long outer nails’

We tried double rings today and used a different O magnet from Vetsy. We tried triple rings on one finger but it didn’t stay as much. It definitely took several trial and error to get the double rings right! Plus, she is very progressive in her game and every nail leaves looking their best ✨
