Magnetic gel polish cat's eye

Developing technologies in the cosmetic field have allowed modern fashionistas to transfer the unique effect of three-dimensional graphics to their nails.

The cat's eye magnetic gel polish owes its name to the rare properties of one of the varieties of the chrysoberyl mineral - cymophane. Refracted in the internal channels of a faceted stone, the rays of light cause an amazing optical phenomenon, resembling the pupil of a cat in appearance. If the stone is turned over in the hands, the pupil of the cat will move, as if watching the owner of the mysterious stone.

A similar manifestation of gel polish is provided by the presence of microparticles contained in the varnish composition. Rising from the pigmented mass under the action of a special magnet, the metal particles are collected in a three-dimensional shimmering pattern with a 3D effect.

What is needed for applying varnish

• Ultraviolet lamp. The best choice is LED+CCHL (36W). Price - from 1500 to 4500 r;
• prep primer (degreaser) - from 190 r (10 ml);
• buff (grinder) - from 35 r;
• base coat Top Coat - from 230 r (10 ml);
• gel polish - from 240 r;
• lint-free napkins - from 120 r (packing 100 pcs.);
• orange sticks - from 37 r (10 pcs.);
• a magnet that creates the effect of a cat's eye - from 60 to 155 r;
• matte fixer - from 300 r.

As can be seen from the listed items, it is possible to apply gel polish only with the help of a special kit. Of course, this requires material investments, but given that the estimated price of a professional manicure is an average of 1000 rubles, one home session will cost 100 rubles!

How to apply cat eye magnetic gel polish

1. first of all, you should carefully study the rules for applying the gel;
2. remove the cuticle with an orange stick so that the nail acquires the desired shape;
3. using a buff, gently and without fanaticism grind (remove gloss) the nail plate;
4. treat nails with a protective primer;
5. Roll a jar of Top Coat between your palms, but do not shake it so that bubbles do not form in the thick varnish. Cover the nail plate with a thin layer and dry the varnish for three minutes in a UV lamp (in an LED lamp - up to 30 seconds);
6. apply gel polish in a thin layer, dry up to five minutes with a lamp (LED lamp - up to a minute). For a more saturated color, it is allowed to apply a second layer of varnish, not forgetting to dry it again;
7. after each coating, it is necessary to bring a magnet, placing its edge closer to the surface of the nail (up to 5 mm). Hold the magnet for up to 10 seconds, watching how the "cat's eye" begins to mysteriously flicker on the varnish surface. Fascinating action!
8. the final touch is to apply a layer of matte fixer, dry it again in the lamp, and then wipe the nail with a lint-free cloth, removing the sticky layer.

Properly applied, the cat's eye magnetic gel polish manifests its fabulous qualities especially brightly in the rays of light. Metal particles lifted up by a magnet shine and shimmer, creating an amazing play of colors.

The main effect of magnetic gel polish is its durability and strength. The acquired skills will eventually turn the coating process into an easy and exciting game. However, in order to admire the magical beauty of the beloved marigolds for as long as possible, they must be protected from any damage.

• try to do homework only with rubber gloves;
• do not splash in hot water, avoid sudden temperature changes;
• “use” your pretty nails only for their intended purpose, not confusing them with scrapers or screwdrivers. In a word - cherish and cherish!
