If you’ve ever admired that mesmerizing, galaxy-like shimmer on someone’s nails and wondered how to get it—welcome to the world of cat eye gel polish.
This magnetic nail trend is easier to achieve than you think, and you can totally do it at home with the right tools and a little patience.
Here’s your step-by-step guide to get that perfect cat eye glow.
What You’ll Need
Before you start, make sure you have these essentials:
Cat Eye Gel Polish – Try rarjsm Cat Eye Gel for vibrant color and smooth application.
Magnet Stick – To create the “cat eye” effect.
TPO&HEMA FREE Base Coat & Top Coat – For long-lasting shine.
UV Nail Lamp – To cure each layer.
Nail Prep Tools – File, buffer, and cleanser.
Step-by-Step Guide to Apply Cat Eye Gel Polish
Step 1: Prep Your Nails
Start with clean, shaped nails. Buff the surface lightly and wipe off any oil or dust using nail cleanser.
Pro tip: Good nail prep = longer-lasting gel nails.
Step 2: Apply Base Coat
Apply a thin layer of rarjsm tpo&hema free base coat and cure it under the UV lamp for 30–60 seconds.
Step 3: Apply the Cat Eye Gel Polish
Apply one thin layer of your chosen rarjsm Cat Eye Gel Polish and cure it. Then, apply a second layer—but don’t cure it yet!
Now, bring your magnet stick close to the nail for 5–10 seconds. Move it slowly to create your desired pattern—swirl, line, or galaxy effect. Once you love the look, cure it immediately to lock the design in place.
Step 4: Apply Top Coat
Seal everything with rarjsm tpo&hema free top coat and cure again. This adds ultra-glossy shine and protection.
Step 5: Wipe and Finish
Use a lint-free wipe with nail cleanser to remove the sticky layer. And you’ve just created professional-level cat eye nails at home!
