- Strong Neodymium Magnet Tool (cat-eye style)
- No-Wipe Gel Top Coat
- Nail Cleanser/Wipe
- Prep nails by shaping, buffing, and applying a thin layer of gel base coat, then cure under a UV/LED lamp.
- Apply one thin coat of the Deep Emerald Magnetic Gel Polish. Do not cure. Immediately hold the magnet tool a few millimeters above the nail for 5-10 seconds to create the cat-eye line, then cure.
- For enhanced 'photo-real' depth, apply a second thin coat of the magnetic gel. Again, do not cure. Repeat the magnet application for 5-10 seconds, ensuring the line is sharp and distinct, then cure thoroughly.
- Seal the design with a glossy no-wipe gel top coat, ensuring even coverage over the entire nail, then cure for the recommended time.
- Wipe away any tacky residue (if using a regular top coat) with a nail cleanser, and finish with cuticle oil for a professional look.
Expert Tip
To achieve a truly 'photo-real' cat-eye, ensure your magnetic gel layers are thin but opaque, and hold the magnet steady and close without touching the polish. Experiment with magnet angles for slightly varied light reflections.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a magnetic cat-eye manicure typically last?
With proper application and aftercare, this gel-based magnetic cat-eye design can last 2-3 weeks without chipping or losing its luster.
Can I achieve this 'photo-real' look at home?
While possible, achieving the professional 'photo-real' salon quality requires practice, a good quality strong magnet, and precise application. We recommend visiting a skilled technician for the best results.
What kind of magnet do I need for this design?
For a sharp cat-eye, a strong neodymium magnet specifically designed for nail art, often with a rectangular or 'wand' shape, is essential. Avoid weaker, generic magnets.
Will the magnetic effect fade over time?
The magnetic particles are sealed within the gel, so the effect itself won't fade. However, the shine of the top coat can dull, which can be refreshed with a new top coat layer.
Is this design suitable for shorter nails?
While striking on any length, the full 'photo-real' depth and dimension of the magnetic cat-eye effect are best showcased on medium to long almond or coffin-shaped nails.
Can I combine this with other nail art elements?
Absolutely! It pairs beautifully with minimalist designs, a single accent nail with foil or glitter, or even delicate hand-painted details on other fingers.
Aftercare Tips
- ✓Avoid picking or peeling the gel, as this can damage your natural nails.
- ✓Use a good quality cuticle oil daily to nourish the nail beds and prolong manicure life.
- ✓Be gentle with your nails for the first 24 hours to allow the gel to fully settle and harden.
Safe Removal
- 1.Gently file off the top coat to break the seal, being careful not to file into your natural nail.
- 2.Soak cotton balls in acetone, place them on each nail, and wrap with foil for 10-15 minutes.
- 3.Gently push off the softened gel with a wooden cuticle stick. Do not scrape forcefully.
