What to Expect During Your Cat Eye Nails
- Base colour application — We begin by applying your chosen base colour, which serves as the foundation for the cat eye effect. You can choose from a variety of rich colours and finishes.
- Magnetic gel application — We apply a specialized magnetic gel polish to your nails. This gel contains magnetic particles that will create the stunning cat eye effect.
- Magnet technique — Before the gel cures, our technician uses a specialized magnet tool to create the cat eye effect. The magnet pulls the particles into a line, creating depth and shimmer that mimics a cat's eye. The angle and position of the magnet determines the final look.
- Curing — The magnetic gel is cured under an LED/UV lamp, setting the design in place and ensuring it stays beautiful for weeks.
- Top coat — We apply a clear top coat for lasting shine and protection, sealing in the stunning cat eye effect.
