Glass Bead Cat Eye - Set A

Shills Professional Glass Bead Cat Eye - Set A is a captivating magnetic gel nail collection designed to create a luminous glass-bead effect with multidimensional cat-eye reflections. Combining magnetic shimmer with a translucent, jewel-like appearance, this set transforms ordinary manicures into striking nail designs that shift, sparkle, and reflect beautifully as the nails move under different angles of light.

The distinctive Glass Bead Cat Eye effect creates concentrated reflective highlights that can be manipulated with a compatible nail magnet before curing. Depending on magnet positioning and application technique, nail artists can create dramatic cat-eye lines, soft velvet-style reflections, floating highlights, glassy dimensional effects, or customized magnetic patterns.

Unlike conventional flat gel colours, magnetic cat-eye gel creates visual depth. Fine magnetic reflective particles respond to the nail magnet, allowing the shimmer to gather in selected areas and produce an illuminated effect that appears to move across the nail.

Set A is ideal for creating coordinated magnetic manicures while offering creative possibilities for full-colour applications, accent nails, layered designs, gradient effects, French-inspired magnetic tips, and detailed nail art.

Perfect for professional nail technicians, nail salons, nail artists, and experienced at-home gel users, this Glass Bead Cat Eye collection adds a sophisticated, dimensional finish to natural nail overlays and compatible nail enhancement systems.

Step 1 – Prepare the Natural Nail

Clean and prepare the nails thoroughly. Push back the cuticles, shape the free edge, and prepare the nail surface according to your gel manicure system.

Remove all nail dust and surface residue.

Step 2 – Apply Nail Prep

Apply compatible dehydrator and primer if required by your chosen gel system.

Avoid touching the prepared nail surface after preparation.

Step 3 – Apply Base Coat

Apply a thin, even layer of compatible Base Coat.

Keep the product away from the skin and cuticle area and cure according to the recommended instructions.

Step 4 – Apply the Required Base Colour

Depending on the desired Glass Bead Cat Eye effect, apply a compatible gel colour underneath if required.

Cure each colour layer according to its recommended curing instructions.

Step 5 – Apply Glass Bead Cat Eye Gel

Apply a controlled, even layer of the selected Glass Bead Cat Eye shade.

Do not cure immediately.

The magnetic effect must be created while the gel remains uncured.

Step 6 – Create the Magnetic Effect

Hold a compatible cat-eye nail magnet close to the nail surface without touching the wet gel.

Move or rotate the magnet around the nail until the reflective particles form your desired Glass Bead Cat Eye pattern.

Step 7 – Cure the Design

Once you are satisfied with the magnetic pattern, cure the nail immediately using a compatible UV/LED nail lamp according to the recommended curing requirements.

Step 8 – Repeat if Required

For additional depth or intensity, apply another controlled layer, create the magnetic effect again, and cure appropriately.

Step 9 – Apply Top Coat

Finish with a compatible glossy Top Coat to enhance the glass-like shine and seal the completed manicure.

Cure according to the Top Coat instructions.
