How to create a vertical cat eye gradient?

Prepare the nail

Once the extension is finished, move on to the nail art on a surface that’s ready to receive color.

Apply the first color

Choose a first Gel Polish and apply it vertically on one half of the nail, for example on the right side.

Apply the second color

Apply a second Gel Polish in a different color on the other half of the nail. The two colors should meet in the center to create a vertical gradient.

Slightly blend the colors

Gently work the join between the two shades to get a more seamless transition, without over-mixing the colors.

Activate the cat eye effect

Before curing, use a cat eye magnet to activate the magnetic effect. You can orient the effect depending on the look you want.

Cure

Once you’ve achieved the effect, cure under an LED lamp for the time recommended for your Gel Polish.

Repeat the application

Do the same with a second coat: apply both colors, blend the join, activate the cat eye effect with the magnet, then cure.

Apply the top coat

Finish with a top coat over the entire nail, then cure.

Order matters

Do not cure before activating the cat eye effect. The magnet must be used while the product is still fresh to move the magnetic particles and achieve the desired reflection.
