People have loved the cat eye nail trend for a while, but this year nail artists are taking it to the next level. Look no further if you want to make your nails shine and look great in the fall and winter. Embellished cat eye nails are very popular because they look great with your favorite extras, like a French tip, nail art, or chrome details. Jen Le, who owns J Aesthetic Lashes & Nails, says that her customers really like the specific nail look. Embellished cat eye nails are getting a lot of attention because they mix the magnetic shimmer effect with extra touches like French tips, chrome, or small nail art. It adds depth to a simple cat eye design and makes the nails look more unique classy and eye-catching.
How do you make nails that look like cat eyes?
Le says that nail artists use a special magnetic gel polish with tiny metallic particles to make cat eye nails. After putting on the gel, a magnet is held close to the nail to pull the particles into different shapes or lines. This makes the cat eye reflective effect that people love.
Can you do cat eye nails at home?
Le tells Refinery29 Australia that you can make your own cat eye nail design at home, but it might take some practice. She says You need the right magnetic gel polish, a magnet, and a UV/LED lamp. Getting a clean and well balanced design usually takes some skill, so a lot of people like to have it done professionally at a salon.
