Here’s What You Need to Use Ripple Cat Eye Gels
Just in case you’ve never played with magnetic polish, here are the tools you’ll need to apply cat eye gel:
- Manicure tools, including a fine-grit file, cuticle pusher, lint-free wipes, acetone, and rubbing alcohol
- A UV or LED nail lamp
- Gel base and top coats
- A powerful magnet
- Other nail art supplies, if desired, like rhinestones and gem sealer or line art gel
As you can see, the only difference between using cat eye polish and regular gels is the magnet. Some cat eye polishes include a magnet in the lid. But if you enjoy creating patterns with the polish, you'll want to experiment with other shapes, like magnets stacked in parallel lines or mounted in circles.
How to Use Ripple Cat Eye Gel
It’s all about practice. The great thing about ripple cat eye gel polish is it won’t dry until you cure it, so take your time and play with it.
Start with the basics: prep your nails for a gel mani, apply a base coat, and cure it.
When you’re ready, apply the cat eye polish to one nail at a time. Don’t rush to cure it. First, use the magnet to work your design magic. Get the magnet close, but don’t let it touch the polish. Hold it there for 10 seconds to herd the glitter particles where you want them. And remember, each side of the magnet has a different effect – one side scatters, the other gathers. You can even flip the script and place the magnet under your finger.
You might see pros moving the magnet quickly in tutorials. That can work, depending on what you’re going for. Our tip? Experiment with the polish and see what works for your nail art.
If your design doesn't quite hit the mark, or if you smudge it with the magnet, simply layer a bit more polish and give it another go. When it looks perfect, cure it. Repeat this for all your nails, then seal them with the top coat.
Can you mix and match magnets? Absolutely! They’re universal and will work with any cat eye polish brand. But heads up, the average fridge magnet isn’t strong enough for this purpose. Also, the magnetic particles might settle over time, softening your design.
We’re thrilled to see the magic you work with LDS Ripple Cat Eye gels!
