What You Need

• Cat eye gel polish (choose your favorite shade from MCateyeNail’s collection)

• Base coat gel

• No-wipe top coat gel

• UV/LED nail lamp

• Magnetic wand or stick

• Nail buffer and file

• Cuticle pusher

• Alcohol wipes or cleanser

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep Your Nails

1. Start with clean, dry nails.

2. Push back cuticles and trim if needed.

3. Shape nails with a file.

4. Buff the surface lightly to remove shine.

5. Clean nails with alcohol wipes to remove dust and oil.

2. Apply Base Coat

1. Apply a thin, even layer of base coat gel.

2. Cure under a UV lamp for 60 seconds or LED lamp for 30 seconds.

Tip: A good base coat ensures better adhesion and longer-lasting wear.

3. Apply Cat Eye Gel Polish

1. Apply a thin coat of cat eye gel polish and cure.

2. Apply the second coat but do not cure yet—this is when you’ll create the magnetic effect.

4. Create the Cat Eye Effect

1. Hold the magnetic wand 2–5mm above the nail without touching the surface.

2. Move the magnet in the desired direction:

   • Vertical line: Hold magnet horizontally.

   • Diagonal line: Hold at an angle.

   • Galaxy effect: Move magnet in small circles or from both sides.

3. Once you get your desired pattern, cure immediately to lock it in.

5. Seal with Top Coat

1. Apply a no-wipe top coat for a smooth, glossy finish.

2. Cure under the lamp.

3. If using a regular top coat, wipe off sticky residue with alcohol after curing.

Pro Tips for Perfect Cat Eye Nails

• Use high-pigment cat eye gels for stronger magnetic lines.

• The closer the magnet, the sharper the effect—but never let it touch the wet gel.

• Experiment with different magnet shapes (round, stick, double-ended) for unique designs.

• Layer cat eye gel over dark colors for more depth.
