How do the Arcane Archer'sArcher fighter's Curving Shot and Magic Arrow features interact?

SoThe Arcane Archer fighter (XGtE, here are the descriptions of thep. 28-30) gains two class features at 7th level. The first is Magic Arrow:

Magic Arrow At 7th level, you gain the ability to infuse arrows with magic. Whenever you fire a nonmagical arrow from a shortbow or longbow, you can make it magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage. The magic fades from the arrow immediately after it hits or misses its target.

andother is Curving Shot:

Curving Shot At 7th level, you learn how to direct an errant arrow toward a new target. When you make an attack roll with a magic arrow and miss, you can use a bonus action to reroll the attack roll against a different target within 60 feet of the original target.

My question is: Curving Shot can redirect a magic arrow missed shot with a magic arrow. Magic Arrow gives a normal arrow magic properties, but when it hits or missmisses the target, it will becamebecomes a normal arrow again. 

Does Curving Shot apply to the Magic Arrow class feature, or only to magic arrows (+x arrows and ArrowArrows of Slaying, for example)? Would any normalnonmagical arrow shot from a magic bow be able to do thea Curving Shot?
