- UV/LED Curing Lamp
- Magnetic Gel Base Coat
- Deep Emerald Green Cat Eye Gel Polish
- Strong Nail Art Magnet (Dual-ended recommended)
- No-Wipe Gel Top Coat
- Nail Prep & Dehydrator
- Prepare nails by shaping, buffing, and applying a dehydrator, then a thin layer of magnetic gel base coat and cure.
- Apply one thin coat of your chosen base color (e.g., black gel polish for more depth) and cure. This step enhances the Cat Eye effect.
- Apply a generous, even layer of the Cat Eye gel polish. Immediately hold the magnet (without touching the nail) over the wet polish for 10-15 seconds to create the desired 'line' or 'wave' effect, then cure.
- For amplified photo-real depth, apply a second layer of Cat Eye gel polish, repeat the magnet process precisely, and cure thoroughly.
- Finish with a high-shine no-wipe gel top coat, ensuring even coverage, and cure one last time for a durable, glossy finish.
- Cleanse with alcohol if needed and apply cuticle oil to nourish the surrounding skin.
Expert Tip
For that truly 'photo-real' depth, use a dark, opaque gel polish (like black) as your first color layer before applying the Cat Eye gel. This creates a striking contrast that makes the magnetic shimmer pop and appear incredibly dimensional, almost like a gemstone.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this Cat Eye design 'photo-real'?
The 'photo-real' aspect comes from the multi-layered application and precise magnet manipulation, creating an intense, almost three-dimensional light reflection that captures light like a polished gemstone or a real cat's eye.
How long do these Cat Eye Nails typically last?
With proper application and aftercare, you can expect this salon-quality Cat Eye design to last 3-4 weeks without chipping or losing its incredible shine.
Can I achieve this look at home?
While you can attempt Cat Eye nails at home with a kit, achieving the 'photo-real' depth and professional salon quality of this specific design requires advanced skill, specialized products, and precise technique best executed by an experienced nail artist.
Is the Cat Eye effect permanent?
The Cat Eye effect is encapsulated within the gel polish layers. It will maintain its mesmerizing appearance until the gel is professionally removed or grows out with your natural nails.
What's the best way to choose my Cat Eye color?
Consider your skin tone and preferred style. Deeper jewel tones like emerald or sapphire are universally flattering. For a bolder statement, try ruby red. We can help you pick the perfect shade during your consultation!
Aftercare Tips
- ✓Immediately after your appointment, avoid prolonged water exposure for a few hours to allow the gel to fully settle.
- ✓Moisturize your hands and nails regularly to maintain the integrity of the gel and surrounding skin.
- ✓If you notice any lifting or chipping, resist the urge to peel; visit your technician for a professional fix.
Safe Removal
- 1.Gently buff the top layer of the gel polish to break the seal, avoiding excessive filing of the natural nail.
- 2.Soak cotton pads in acetone, place them on each nail, and wrap tightly with foil for 10-15 minutes.
- 3.Carefully scrape off the softened gel with a wooden cuticle pusher. Repeat soaking if necessary, then lightly buff the natural nail.
