Magnetic cat-eye polish utilizes fine metallic particles shifted by a magnet to produce a plush, three-dimensional velvet texture across the nail bed. Apply a dark or rich base color and cure under your nail lamp to create depth. Next, apply a generous layer of magnetic cat-eye polish in your chosen shade, such as rose gold, emerald, or icy blue. Immediately hold a specialized nail magnet parallel to the wet nail surface, holding it close to the sides to push the metallic shimmer particles toward the center. This manipulation creates a soft velvet effect that glows dynamically under light. Cure or dry the nail immediately to lock the particles in place, finishing with a high-shine top coat.
