Step 1: Let’s Gather All The Materials
The first step is to gather all the stuff required and there are two ways you can go about it.
Option 1: Get a proper cat-eye nail kit that includes metallic nail paints and a nail magnet.
Option 2: Purchase a cat-eye nail set and stick them directly to your nails.
Step 2: Apply The Nail Polish
Next, it’s time to prep your nails by applying a base coat and then apply two coats of magnetic nail polish. Take any colour of your choice and apply it to your nails properly.
If you really want your nails to stand out, then choose a darker shade- trust us on this!
Step 3: Let’s Create Magic
As soon as you apply your cat-eye nail polish, do not wait for it to dry but immediately place the nail magnet close to it, without touching the nail, of course. You’ll notice the galaxy-like design forming on your nail, wait for about 7-10 seconds.
Note: Don’t just hold the magnet exactly on top of your nail but instead a little tilted. Also, if the design looks a little spotty, apply a super thin coat of polish once and start again.
The glitter particles that you see in the nail polish are magnetically charged and will move wherever you move the magnet. Here is a great video to help you under this whole process better.
Best Cat-Eye Nail Desgins
Cat-Eye nails have quickly dethroned our beloved cat-eyeliner trend and for all the right reasons. And if you totally in the mood to give it a try, here are some nail inspo.
Bedazzle Them
Why only do cat-eye nails when you can go one step forward and bedazzled them with stickers? Think crystals, tiny bows- possibilities are endless.
Spot The Odd One Out
Instead of using only one shade, why not play with more? You can either play with two contrasting shades or apply a different one on each nail.
Same Same But Different
Create a symphony of colours by using different shades of the same colour family as your magnetic nail polish. For eg, if your choice of magnetic nail polish is blue, then use different shades of blue (teal, pastel, dark) on other nails for an #InstaWorthy update.
Who knew that doing nails could be so complicated yet fun!
