Applying Cat Eye gels

Use a magnet to shape the reflection in uncured Cat Eye gel, then cure each layer.

At a glance

BEMI Cat Eye gels use the Creami formula with magnetic pigments. Shape the reflection with a magnet while the gel is uncured, then cure each layer for LED 30–60 seconds or UV 2 minutes. A magnet is not included.

Working with the magnet

Choose a magnet designed for this nail effect and keep it clean. Its position and movement change the reflective pattern.

Application

  1. Prepare the nail and apply a compatible base or enhancement according to that system’s directions. Cure the base fully.
  2. Apply a controlled layer of Cat Eye gel, keeping uncured product off the skin.
  3. While the gel is uncured, position and move the Cat Eye magnet to shape the reflection. Check the look from more than one angle.
  4. When the reflection is positioned, cure the layer for LED 30–60 seconds or UV 2 minutes.
  5. If adding another layer, repeat the magnet step while that layer is uncured, then cure it separately. Finish with a compatible top coat using its product-specific schedule.

Compare the result

Compare magnet positions on reference tips. Use the same magnet and approach across a set when you want a repeated look.
