What is Cat Eye Gel Polish?
Cat Eye Gel Polish is a type of magnetic gel polish infused with tiny metal particles. When you hold a special nail magnet over the wet polish, the particles move to create stunning effects like lines, waves, and 3D depth — mimicking the reflective gleam of a cat’s eye.

How to Apply Bluesky Cat Eye Gel Polish
1. Prep Your Nails
File your nails to your desired shape and gently buff the surface.
Push back or trim the cuticles for a clean finish.
- Cleanse your nails to remove oils and dust.
2. Apply the Base Coat
Apply a thin layer of Bluesky Base Coat
Cure under a UV/LED lamp (30–60 seconds depending on your lamp).
3. Apply the Cat Eye Gel Polish
Apply a thin but even coat of your chosen Cat Eye Gel Polish
-
Immediately hold the magnet over the nail for 5–10 seconds (before curing).
Hold it close but don’t touch the nail.
You can experiment with different angles and magnet shapes (straight bar, round, wave, flower).
Once the design is set, cure for 30–60 seconds.
4. Optional: Apply a Second Coat
For a stronger cat-eye effect, repeat step 3 with another coat.
5. Apply Top Coat
Finish with a Bluesky No Wipe Top Coat to seal in your design and add shine.
Cure once more, then cleanse if using a tacky (non no-wipe) top coat.

Don’t overwork the polish or the shimmer effect may blur.
Store magnets away from electronics and magnets with different poles to preserve strength.
