How the cat-eye effect works
Cat-eye polishes contain fine metallic particles that respond to a magnet. Apply a coat as normal, then hold the magnet close over the wet gel for a few seconds before curing; the particles gather into a glowing line or swirl. Cure for 60 seconds under a Mylee LED lamp to lock the effect in place. Different magnet angles create different lines, so it's easy to experiment across your gel nail colours.
Getting the best cat-eye finish
Work one nail at a time so the gel is still wet when you use the magnet, and keep the magnet close without touching the polish. Two coats give the richest effect; seal with a top coat and cure again for a glassy, chip-free finish that lasts up to 3 weeks. Pair it with fine nail art for a modern, dimensional look.
FAQs
What are cat eye nails?
Cat eye nails are the ultimate way to add a little mystery and magic to your manicure. This trend gets its name from the mesmerising, light-reflective stripe that runs through the centre of the nail – just like the glint of a cat’s eye. The secret? Magnetic particles are suspended in the Gel Polish. When you hold a magnetic tool over the wet polish, these tiny metallic flecks shift and align to create stunning, dimensional effects.
From bold flashes to subtle shimmer, no two cat eye nails are ever quite the same – making it the perfect look if you’re into statement nails with a twist. Whether you're after something cosmic, glamorous, or a little bit edgy, cat eye nails deliver high-impact results with minimal effort.

2. Soak a cotton pad with Mylee Gel Remover and place onto the nail plate, securing with a foil wrap.
3. After 10 to 15 minutes, firmly pull pads off the nails, making sure you gently push away any loose product with cuticle pusher or orange stick.
4. If there is product remaining on the nail, re-buff and re-wrap the nail.
5. Once all the product is removed, apply cuticle oil and hand cream to hydrate your nails.
