Prep: Clean, shape, and lightly buff nails. Remove dust and dehydrate.
Base Coat: Apply a thin layer, cap the free edge, and cure (≈ 60s LED / 120s UV).
Color — Coat 1: Apply a thin, even layer of Reflective Cat Eye Gel; do not use the magnet yet. Cure (≈ 60s LED / 120s UV).
Color — Coat 2 (Effect): Apply a second thin coat and do not cure.
Magnet: Hover the magnet 3–5 mm above the wet gel for 10–15 seconds. Adjust angle/distance to shape the “cat-eye” line.
Lock In: Cure the design (≈ 60s LED / 120s UV).
Top Coat: Apply a glossy/no-wipe top coat, cap the edge, and cure (≈ 60s LED / 120s UV).
Finish: Clean any residue from skin (before curing if possible). Apply cuticle oil after the final cure.
Pro tips
Ultra-thin coats prevent wrinkling and keep the magnetic line crisp.
If the line spreads, re-hover the magnet for a few seconds, then cure.
A black or deep base under Coat 1 intensifies the reflective sparkle.
Keep product off skin; remove any flood before curing to avoid lifting.
