Lavender Haze - Cat Eye Gel Polish

This special polish consists of a magnetic gel that contains metallic particles. When exposed to a magnet before curing, the particles flow together to create a multi-dimensional, shimmering effect like a cat's eye, with a lovely velvet texture.

Yes, a strong nail art magnet is needed to manipulate the metallic particles. The design and effect depend on how you position and move the magnet before curing.

Yes, but it is not recommended. Applying a dark base color (usually black) brings out the vibrance and depth of the effect. Without a base, the design may appear less intense or uneven.

If the particles are not holding their shape:

• Ensure you shake the bottle, and the liquid mixes well.
• Hold the magnet close (3-5 mm) for at least 3-5 seconds for a stronger effect.
• Cure right after creating the design, as the particles can shift if left too long before curing.

• Use a black base coat to increase contrast.
• Hold the magnet closer (2-3 mm) for more defined lines.
• Increase exposure time (5-7 seconds) before curing so the metallic particles can settle properly.

The farther you hold the magnet (beyond 7 mm), the less defined the effect becomes. Hold it too far, and the particles may not react enough to create a visible design.

Yes! Create lines, waves, velvet effects, gradients and even French tips by holding the magnet in different ways. Here’s how:

• Hold the magnet at an angle for diagonal effects.
• Use circular motions for a smooth, blended look.
• Move the magnet side to side for a light-reflecting gradient.

Wait 3-5 seconds after using the magnet so the metallic particles settle, then cure at once to lock in the design.

Yes! Applying two thin layers of Cat Eye Gel (curing in between) can enhance the depth of the effect. Use the magnet on the second layer to better control the final look.

Check if the lamp you’re using is working properly or if you cured your nails for the needed length of time. Remember, curing times for the Le Mini lamp is 30 secs, and 60 secs for the Demi, Maxi and Le Pro lamp.

Buff the top layer first, then soak in acetone for 10 minutes with foil wraps or cellulose pads. Gently remove excess gel with a cuticle pusher.

Yes, but for better adhesion and durability, we recommended applying a base coat before the Cat Eye Gel.

Absolutely! Cat Eye Gel works well over gel, acrylic and poly gel enhancements.

Seal with a strong top coat and avoid too much water exposure in the first 24 hours. Wearing gloves when using harsh chemicals also makes Cat Eyes last longer.

No, mixing regular gel with Cat Eye Gel dilutes the magnetic particles, reducing the effect. Instead, layer Cat Eye Gel over a solid gel color.
