Cat Eye Nails

Cat eye nails (also called cat's eye nails or cats eye nails) use magnetic nail polish to create mesmerising 3D light effects that shift and shimmer as your nails move. Our Bluesky cat eye collection features over 40 shades of magnetic gel polish - from deep blue cat eye nails and pink cat eye nails to emerald greens, rich purples, shimmering golds and dramatic reds.

What Is Magnetic Nail Polish?

Magnetic nail polish (also known as magnetic gel polish or cat eye gel polish) contains tiny magnetic particles suspended in pigmented gel. When you hold a cat eye magnet over the wet polish, the particles shift into patterns - creating that signature cat's eye light effect. The result is a luminous 3D gradient that catches the light beautifully.

How to Apply Cat Eye / Magnetic Nail Polish

1. Apply base coat and cure under your UV/LED lamp
2. Apply one coat of cat eye magnetic gel polish
3. Hold the cat eye magnet close to the nail for 10-15 seconds while the polish is still wet
4. Cure under the lamp, then apply a second coat and repeat the magnet step
5. Seal with a no-wipe top coat
