Magnetic paint is just like regular latex paint, except for the fine particles of iron dust mixed throughout which gives it a special magnetic quality. When applied to a surface, you end up with a layer of primer with many tiny flecks of iron spread throughout. Magnets are attracted to these flecks of iron transforming your project into a magnetic surface.

If you cover magnetic paint with fabric is it still magnetic?

Yes. The proximity of fabric doesn't change the magnetic properties of magnetic paint. Umm... the paint will still be magnetic even if you bury it in the desert where nobody will find it. However, depending on the thickness of the fabric, it may not noticably attract ferrous objects any longer! Try experimenting with thin fabrics like nylon or silk and then slightly thicker fabrics -- to find how thick the fabric can be to still permit the paint to act as a magnet for your purposes.

How do you get color club magnetic force nail polish to work?

Hold the magnet on the cap over the polish immediately after you paint the final coat of magnetic polish. The magnet won't work if the polish isn't wet hold the magnet over the polish RIGHT AFTER you paint the nail. Hold the magnet for at least 10 seconds but the longer you hold the magnet over the polish the clearer the design. See related link below for a few things that can happen when you're using magnetic polish and how to fix them.
