Slingshot Magnet

Shills Professional Slingshot Magnet is a versatile magnetic nail art tool designed to manipulate the metallic particles in compatible cat eye and magnetic gel polish, helping nail artists create striking multidimensional patterns, concentrated highlights, velvet-style effects and customised magnetic nail designs. Its distinctive slingshot-style structure provides convenient positioning around the nail, giving technicians greater creative control when shaping magnetic effects before curing.

Designed for professional nail technicians, nail artists and manicure enthusiasts, this cat eye nail magnet transforms compatible magnetic gel polish into dynamic designs by attracting and repositioning magnetic particles while the gel remains uncured. By changing the magnet's position, angle and distance from the nail, you can experiment with different reflective patterns ranging from concentrated cat eye highlights to softer, diffused magnetic effects.

Whether creating dramatic salon nail art or subtle everyday magnetic manicures, the Slingshot Magnet is a reusable and practical addition to any professional nail art tool collection.

Step 1 – Prepare the Natural Nails

Complete your normal manicure preparation. Clean the nail plate, prepare the cuticle area and shape the nails as required.

Step 2 – Apply Base Coat

Apply a thin, even layer of compatible base coat and cure under the appropriate UV/LED nail lamp according to the product instructions.

Step 3 – Apply a Base Colour if Required

Depending on the magnetic gel and desired design, apply your chosen gel polish base colour and cure completely.

Step 4 – Apply Magnetic Gel Polish

Apply an even layer of compatible cat eye or magnetic gel polish.

Do not cure the magnetic gel layer yet.

Step 5 – Position the Slingshot Magnet

Bring the magnet close to the surface or side of the uncured magnetic gel without allowing the tool to touch the wet polish.

Step 6 – Manipulate the Magnetic Particles

Hold or move the magnet around the nail and observe how the reflective particles respond. Adjust the position and angle until the desired pattern appears.

Step 7 – Refine the Effect

Experiment with positioning the magnet near different sides or areas of the nail to create concentrated lines, dimensional highlights or softer magnetic effects.

Step 8 – Cure the Design

Once the desired magnetic pattern has been achieved, cure promptly under a compatible UV/LED nail lamp according to the gel manufacturer's recommended curing instructions.

Step 9 – Apply Top Coat

Seal the finished nail art with an appropriate top coat and cure as directed.
