I-Shaped Magnets

Shills Professional I-Shaped Magnets are precision nail art tools designed to create striking magnetic patterns and dimensional effects with magnetic cat eye gel polish. Featuring a convenient straight I-shaped design, the magnet helps manipulate magnetic particles within compatible gel polish, allowing nail artists to form concentrated lines, luminous highlights, velvet-style effects and creative cat eye nail designs before curing.

The slim linear shape provides excellent control over the direction and concentration of magnetic particles, making it easier to customise each manicure. Simply position the magnet close to freshly applied magnetic gel polish and move or angle it around the nail to influence the final pattern. Depending on the magnet position, polish formula and technique, you can create anything from a defined cat eye line to softer, diffused magnetic effects.

Ideal for professional nail technicians, nail artists and creative manicure enthusiasts, this I-shaped nail magnet is a practical accessory for producing modern magnetic gel nail art without complicated equipment.

Step 1 – Prepare the Nails

Complete your normal nail preparation and apply the appropriate base coat according to your chosen gel manicure system. Cure as directed.

Step 2 – Apply Your Base Colour

If required for your chosen cat eye gel design, apply the desired gel polish base colour and cure according to the product instructions.

Step 3 – Apply Magnetic Cat Eye Gel

Apply an even layer of compatible magnetic cat eye gel polish. Do not cure the magnetic layer yet.

Step 4 – Position the I-Shaped Magnet

Hold the magnet close to the nail surface without touching the uncured gel polish.

Step 5 – Create the Magnetic Effect

Position the magnet along the side, centre or end of the nail. Watch as the magnetic particles move and begin forming the desired reflective pattern.

Step 6 – Adjust the Pattern

Change the angle or position of the magnet until you achieve your preferred cat eye line, luminous highlight or dimensional effect.

Step 7 – Cure Immediately

Once you are satisfied with the magnetic pattern, cure the gel under a compatible UV/LED nail lamp according to the gel polish manufacturer's instructions.

Step 8 – Apply Top Coat

Seal the finished magnetic nail art with a compatible top coat and cure as directed for a glossy, finished manicure.
