Anela's Pro Tip

"Cat Eye effects are consistently popular with clients because they appear vibrant depending on the light and hand movement. For dark base colors, I recommend the transparent overlay – that creates the most intense contrast. For pigmented colors, the magnetic moment is crucial: cure too late and the effect will blur." – Anela Mucic, World Champion Nail Design 2023 & INJA Judge

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Pigmented and Overlay?
Pigmented has its own rich color. Overlay is transparent and is applied over any base color – ideal for individual color combinations.

Do I need a special magnet?
Yes, a cat-eye magnet to align the particles.

Which base color is best for the Overlay?
Dark base colors create the most intense contrast and make the cat-eye effect most prominent.

What happens if I use the magnet too late?
The effect can blur – the magnetic moment before curing is crucial for a clear result.

Is the Cat Eye Gel gently removable?
Yes, thanks to the soak-off formula, it can be gently removed with acetone or remover solution.
