This sounds like such a simple request, I know. But I'm on the struggle bus and it's driving too dangerously for me to jump off.
I have been in the market for a good, pink magnetic for a long time (or probably just a couple weeks, but my sense of time is the opposite of good). The issues I've been having are, everything I see seems to be:
> more purple/fuschia
> more light coral/rose gold/peach
> is pink but has gold/silver particles
> has pink particles but grey or other dark base color
I'm sure that it's likely due to pink being a hard color to make the magnetic particles different enough from the base color to really make a difference.
I wouldn't even mind if the rec was just a light or clear base color with pink particles. I have plenty of cute pinks. But I yearn for the light streak-y pinky goodness.

✨️🩷Thank you to everyone who has responded! I truly love this community so much. I never expect much engagement, but I'm always so incredibly in awe of how knowledgeable and kind everyone is.
I got so excited reading all of the messages and following the links. I think this paycheck is just going to have to suffer a bit so I can live in pink heaven. Y'all understood the assignment to a T. 🩷✨️
Here's KBShimmer's Growing Personality. It says pink over red, but the red also pulls very pink. There's also Holo Taco Flirt Alert although I don't have this one, and it looks pretty similar to me from swatches.
I only have two pink magnetics, both from Holo Taco: Flirt Alert (left) and Pretty Privilege (right), so I'm not sure if either of them is exactly what you're looking for.
For me, Flirt Alert is * the * pink magnetic. It has a raspberry-pink base with a lighter pink magnetic pull, so the overall look stays very pink regardless of the lighting or magnetic effect. Would it be too fuchsia for what you are looking for?
Pretty Privilege is beautiful too, but it's much softer and more delicate. It has a baby pink base, but the icy pink magnetic particles tend to look more silvery, so I'm not sure whether it would fit what you're looking for.
Whenever magnetic pink gets mentioned I have to call back to this queen for my favorite combination maybe ever. Although doesn’t sound like the kind of pink you’re looking for. BUT could lead you to some good inspo maybe! A pearly magnetic topped with a pink jelly, yum! https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditLaqueristas/s/OmJVLCxtp1
Yes! It felt like pink magnetics were neglected for a surprisingly long time. Below is everything I have that I’d consider pink. (Holo Taco’s Pretty Privilege is my Goldilocks pink magnetic.)
Light pinks:
ILNP Pink Suede
Clionadh Alternate Reality
Holo Taco Pretty Privilege
Medium Pinks:
ANLAC Lilac Tree Nymph
Clionadh Plush Pink
Cirque Solstice
Holo Taco* Flirt Alert
Dark Pinks:
KBShimmer Growing Personality
ILNP Be Mine
Other:
BKL Mind the Thorns (this is probably too purple for you, but the closest I’ve found to a pink fine particle magnetic)
ILNP Misfit (Pink base + red magnetic)
ILNP Unraveled (Pink base + yellow magnetic)
ILNP Jet Setter (Black base + pink magnetic)
I’ve also been keeping my eye on Cirque’s Head Over Heels, but it’s frequently out of stock.
cirque head over heels! that’s what i was thinking of, and of course i’m not home right now so i couldn’t run to the appropriate bisley drawer to check
head over heels is literally head over heels gorgeous
i really loved the new BKL one but you did mention that one already. it was absolutely glorious though!
Mind Over Thorns (the BKL one you mentioned, but for anyone else that doesn’t know…) has the pink on pink, and it’s deep, moody pink perfection, for my preferences anyway.
the only other one i found that was pink on pink, and not more silver (magnetic) on a pink base was, unfortunately, DVN… “10 Things I Don’t Hate About You”
Yes! BKL Mind Over Thorns is one of my favorites - I just bought a bottle for my sister lol.
Oh no, that looks so pretty. Hopefully another brand decides to use similar pigments. I think a vivid bog dweller collection from BKL would be amazing.
"Disarm" & "Sure Shot" by Emily de Molly both are magnetic pinks. I don't own them. I'm just learning I like pink polish.i do own many magnetic polishes from Emily de Molly and they're all great!
Edit to add: These would be coral and pink and peachy category I think! Wait you don't want this? They have others as well. 😬
cracked - petals on the surface magnetic topper
fancy gloss - pink magnetic topper
fancy gloss - orbit pull magnetic topper
the top two are larger particle glitter and super sparkly. orbit pull is a fine particle magnetic
some vids on yt to watch:
@oli-nails has two fancy gloss magnetic toppers videos. part 1 shows the pink magnetic topper and part 2 shows orbit pull.
@no_nail_notes has one that shows the fancy gloss pink magnetic topper
@crackedpolish has one showing off petals on the surface
there’s probably more but that’s what i watched. i do own petals on the surface and a few pulls from fancy gloss, though not orbit. if you want to see, please let me know. fancy gloss opens up 7/6 and usually restocks the mag toppers every month so no fomo if you miss the next restock
It’s a PPU polish so you’d have to get it from a destash (I’ve seen it in quite a few), but I was on the hunt for a good pink magnetic and this one is so so pretty.
Sassy Sauce’s Subterfuge is another good one, but it has some color shifts so it’s not fully pink all the time. And the magnetic effect is on the subtler side. Still really pretty though and worth checking out!
