Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular nail polish instead of gel polish?
While there are regular Cat Eye polishes available, gel polish provides a longer-lasting and more durable finish.
Do I need a special UV/LED lamp?

How close should I hold the magnet to the nail?
Hold the magnet as close as possible without touching the wet polish. Usually 1-2mm away.
Can I use any magnet?
No, you need a magnet specifically designed for Cat Eye polish. Standard magnets are typically not strong enough.
How long will the Cat Eye effect last?
The Cat Eye effect will last as long as the gel polish remains intact, typically 2-3 weeks with proper care.
