1. Clean and prep the nail surface, removing dust, oil and surface residue.
2. Apply Nail Dehydrator and Nail Primer Bonder allow it to dry.
3. Apply a thin, even Base Coat and cure in a UV/LED nail lamp for at least 30 seconds.
4. Apply the first thin coat of color and cure for at least 30 seconds.
5. Apply a second thin color coat for full, vibrant coverage and cure again for at least 30 seconds.
6. Finish with Top Coat and cure for at least 60 seconds. Follow the lamp or gel system instructions if a longer cure is required.

• Magnetizing after curing: The magnetic particles can only be shaped while the cat-eye layer is still uncured.
• Holding the magnet too far away: Too much distance can create a weak or unfocused cat-eye reflection.
• Moving the magnet too quickly: Give the pigments a few seconds to gather before curing the effect.
• Applying gel too thickly: Thick layers can flood the sidewalls, wrinkle or cure unevenly.
• Magnetizing several nails before curing: The particles may slowly relax or spread; shape and cure each nail promptly for a cleaner result.
• Using inconsistent magnet angles: Different angles can create mismatched reflections across the set unless variation is intentional.
• Incomplete nail preparation or skipped top coat: Poor prep can reduce retention, while missing top coat leaves the reflective surface more exposed to wear.
• Leaving the open bottle near sunlight or an active UV/LED lamp: UV exposure can begin curing gel around the bottle neck or inside the bottle.

Type: Cat Eye Gel Color

• Coverage: Sheer to Medium (buildable)
• Finish: Magnetic / Shimmer / Glossy
• Cure: UV & LED compatible
• Size: 15ml per bottle (6 shades)

Retention Tips:

• Always clean and properly prepare the nail surface for better bonding.
• Keep color layers thin and cure immediately after creating the magnetic effect.
• Cure after every gel layer for at least 30 seconds or according to your lamp/system requirements.
• Always finish with Top Coat to seal and protect the magnetic design.
• Keep the bottle closed when not in use and store it in a cool, dry, shaded area away from direct sunlight and active UV/LED lamps.

Do I need a magnet to create the cat-eye effect?

Yes. Use a cat-eye magnet while the gel layer is still uncured, then cure immediately once the desired reflection is formed.

How many coats are recommended?

One thin coat can create a softer effect, while a second thin coat can build stronger color and depth. Magnetize each cat-eye layer before curing.

Can this gel cure in both UV and LED lamps?

Yes. It is UV and LED compatible. Cure each gel layer for at least 30 seconds or longer if required by your lamp or gel system.

Do I need a black base underneath?

Not always. These shades can be used over a prepared base on their own. You can use the suitbale base depend on the design ideas.

Can I create different magnetic patterns with the same shade?

Yes. Magnet shape, angle, distance and placement can change the reflective line, velvet effect and overall dimensional pattern.

How should the bottle be stored?

Keep it closed in a cool, dry, shaded place away from direct sunlight and active UV/LED lamps.

Is the complete collection more economical than buying the six shades separately?

Yes. The current collection price is $89.99 CAD versus $101.94 CAD for six individual bottles, so the effective cost is about $15.00 per bottle.
