Frequently Asked Questions

Apply your cat eye gel and hold a strong neodymium magnet close to the nail surface from your desired angle for about 5 to 10 seconds until the particles shift into place, then flash cure it immediately before the particles disperse.
Secure each pearl and crystal using a thick rhinestone glue gel or builder gel. After placing the embellishment, use a small brush to seal a clear top coat around the base of the decoration, ensuring it wraps securely without covering the top facets of the stones.
A thick, self-leveling non-wipe top coat works best because it creates a smooth glass-like dome effect that enhances the multi-dimensional gemstone illusion of magnetic cat eye polish.
