Kokoist Terra Magnet Gel Collection (Fall 2025)

This post contains gifted product and/or affiliate commission codes/links . Disclosure statement linked in bio and also available here https://rachelmessick.com/disclosure


It’s undeniable that magnet gels are having a moment. With so many ways to manipulate the velvety fine pigments and particles, how could we not love them?

How do magnet gels work? Are they magic? While the effects are magical, magnet gels are simply iron particles suspended in transparent gel. While the iron particles may appear frosty at first swipe, they “stand up” when manipulated with a magnet and once cured, they stay in place.

Kokoist USA was kind enough to send me their upcoming Terra Magnet collection (launching 10/27/25) and after swatching all twelve nature-inspired shades I am SO excited to get these on my clients.

Swatch and Review: ICEGEL Flash On / Off

When ICEGEL released the first round of Flash On / Off gels I was absolutely smitten. They are a very subtle sparkle in natural light but when you put them under a light or flash they transform into an ultra-reflective finish. The original collection was more on the cool-side, lots of blues, purples, silvers- so I was super psyched to grab the more neutral pink and beige collection.

As far as application goes, they are super smooth and the glitter levels really nicely in the gel- no weird scratchy spots. I have a feeling these are going to get a lot of action this holiday season.

1225: Taupe nude with cool beige undertones

1226: Cool grey nude with silver undertones

1227: Honey nude with copper undertones (my personal favorite)

1228: Pink nude with berry undertones
