Cigar Magnet

Shills Professional Cigar Magnet is a precision magnetic nail art tool designed for creating captivating cat eye, velvet and multidimensional effects with compatible magnetic gel polish. Featuring an elongated cigar-shaped magnetic design, this reusable nail art accessory gives nail technicians greater control over the movement and concentration of magnetic particles, helping transform ordinary magnetic gel into luminous, high-impact nail designs.

The elongated shape makes it convenient to position the magnet along the sides, centre, tip or different angles of the nail. When held close to uncured cat eye gel, the magnet influences responsive metallic particles within the formula, allowing nail artists to create concentrated highlights, directional lines, soft reflective glows and customised magnetic patterns.

Compact and easy to incorporate into professional manicure services, the Cigar Magnet for cat eye nails is an essential accessory for technicians who want to explore modern magnetic nail art while maintaining precise control over the finished effect.
