Midnight Mirage | 5D Cosmic Cat Eye Gel

Cat-eye gels are infused with magnetic particles that react to a magnet, creating dynamic light-reflective effects like lines, waves, or halos. Unlike regular gel polish, they offer dimensional shifts, depth, and movement — like auroras or galaxies on your nails.

You’ll need a magnetic wand or cat-eye tool to manipulate the particles. Different magnets produce lines, waves, or spots. Hold the magnet close to the nail before curing, and cure immediately after forming your desired pattern.

Suggested steps:

Base coat → cure

First layer of cat-eye gel → cure

Second layer → apply magnet design → cure immediately

Top coat → cure

For a stronger 3D contrast, apply a black or dark base before the magnetic layers.

Yes! Magnetic gels often have a beautiful shimmer base even without the magnet. You can use them as pearly polish or for layering and accents.

If you wait too long to cure or the magnet was too far, the particles may spread and blur. Keep the magnet 2–3mm from the surface and cure within 5 seconds of forming the design.

They suit all lengths, but medium-to-long oval or square nails show the depth best. Popular styles include aurora gradients, cat-eye lines, galactic swirls, and molten metal illusions.

Yes! Layer them over other colors to create depth or shift. Combine with jelly or sheer gels for dreamlike or glassy looks.
