Technique for applying gel polish "Cat's eye"

First stage:
Degrease the nail with liquid for degreasing, apply a base coat and dry it in a UV Lamp for 2 minutes.

Applying gel polish and using a magnet:
Apply cat eye gel polish. This varnish is very thick and one layer is enough to create the desired effect.

A magnet is attached to the varnish, which will create the effect of a cat's eye for us. Metal particles, thanks to the use of a magnet, will rise from the general pigmented mass of gel polish and create the effect of chrysoberyl, which is famous for its middle name - Cat's Eye stone. Translation of the instructions on the magnet - "Bring as close as possible to the surface of a freshly painted nail, hold for 5-10 seconds and quickly dry the result in a UV lamp."

For example, let's start painting the demo display. One coat of varnish is required.
