How to Choose a Cat Eye Gel Polish Color

Cat eye gel polish has a magnetic pigment inside it. You hold a magnet over the wet polish and the pigment pulls into a line of light. It looks like the stripe in a cat eye stone. One bottle gives you that effect with no nail art skill needed.

Start with a color family

We stock 98 colors, so start broad. Pinks and nudes are the safe everyday picks. Reds and berries read dressy. Blues, greens, and purples are the statement colors. Golds and dark shades show the magnetic stripe the strongest, because the light line needs contrast against the base color.

Match the finish to your nails

On short nails, lighter and brighter colors keep the effect visible. On long nails, dark colors have room to show the full shift of light. If your nails are somewhere in the middle, the mid tone pinks and mauves are the easiest first bottle.

What you need to use it

This is a gel polish, so it cures under a UV or LED lamp. The bottle is 7ml. Apply a thin coat, hold the magnet close for a few seconds to pull the stripe where you want it, then cure. A second coat deepens the color.
