1. Prepare the nails and apply the base coat.
Shape the nails, gently prepare the cuticle area, and remove filing dust, surface oils, and residue. Use compatible dehydrator or primer only where required by your gel system. Apply a thin gel base coat and cure according to its instructions.
2. Apply the cat-eye gel and shape the reflection.
Brush on a thin, controlled layer, keeping the gel away from surrounding skin. Do not cure this layer yet. Hold a compatible cat-eye magnet close to the wet gel without touching it, then adjust its position until the desired highlight appears.
3. Cure the magnetic design.
Cure promptly under a compatible UV/LED lamp, following the product’s specified curing requirements. For additional coverage or intensity, apply another thin magnetic layer, shape the reflection again, and cure separately.
4. Seal and finish.
Apply a compatible gel top coat over the cured colour and cure completely. The base coat goes beneath the colour, while the top coat seals the completed design. Finish with cuticle oil around the nail area after all gel layers are fully cured.
