Unusual manicure today can not surprise anyone: masters in beauty salons and clever women of fashion at home compete in who will come up with a more bold design. Nails are decorated with flowers, rhinestones, drawings, use extravagant combinations. One of the most fashionable now is the cat's nails with a three-dimensional effect.
Manicure of the cat's eye gel-varnish
The secret of the original nail art is in a special magnet with a pattern that is brought to the dried coating for 10-15 seconds and "builds" the metal particles of the varnish so that the desired effect is obtained. As a rule, such a magnet is sold complete with appropriate lacquers. With the help of magnetic design, you can draw vertical or horizontal stripes, asterisks, triangles.
The nail design of the cat's eye can be done with a classic lacquer with a magnetic effect. But in order to make the coating more resistant and sturdy, special gel-varnishes are better. They can be used at home on their own, if you have everything you need:
- basic coverage;
- gel-varnish;
- magnet;
- drying lamp;
- manicure tools;
- top coat.
Prepare for a manicure the way you are used to. Apply a colored gel-varnish to the cat's eye. The color of the nails should be chosen on their own - black, burgundy, gold or even green nails will look good with a volumetric magnetic effect. Immediately bring the magnet to the surface of the nail plate and hold for 10-15 seconds. Each finger needs to be treated in turn, otherwise the coating will wither and the effect of the cat's eye on the nails will not be successful. Then apply a second layer, repeat the operation with the magnet. Finished cat manicure hold under the lamp for 2-3 minutes.
What to buy nail polish
Magnetic varnishes are in the assortment of most cosmetic companies. Choose those brands that you already used. Often, girls buy the brand "Lianel", "Bluesky" or TNL, if they are going to dry the gel under the lamp. Some prefer to make in the cabin a strong shellac coating or even build-up. Do not be surprised if you have never heard of a varnish of a brand - as a rule, professional cosmetics are little advertised, and only specialists know about it.
If you are using a cat's eye lacquer for the first time and want only to try, pay attention to the classic varnishes. This is the novelty of popular brands - for example, Dance Legend, Golden Rose, Pupa or El Corazon have started to produce new magnetic series, and the palette of these brands allows you to choose what you like. Pleasantly surprised and the price - a bottle of this varnish will cost about 200 rubles.

The technology of magnetic manicure has just come into our fashion, but many girls have already taken it into service. It takes only a little dexterity to master the rapid application of two layers and the use of a magnet. In addition, different firms offer magnets of different shapes - if you buy several, you can make interesting patterns on the same color. Or vice versa - choose varnishes of different colors and decorate them with the same magnetic design.

Reviews for a cat's eye cover
Maria, 20 years old : I painted my nails in school, constantly experimenting with flowers, textures, patterns. .. For my girlfriend's birthday, knowing my hobby, gave two magnetic varnishes. I am delighted! It seems to be nothing complicated, but it looks very cool. Light is reflected, as if the effect of natural stones!
Alina, 35 years old : For a long time I was a conservative in terms of manicure. She only painted with classic red or beige flowers, made a jacket, she did not want to hear about other designs. It turned out very funny: I selected a bottle with the effect of a cat's eye in a teenage daughter. The mood was good, I tried to make up. Even at work appreciated! The color is bronze, not bright, but beautifully shimmering!
Vasilisa, 24 years old : My first acquaintance with the magnet was unsuccessful. I did not understand how it was done, and at first I made up both hands, and then I took the magnet. Naturally, nothing happened! I was upset, threw this bottle for several months. Then I watched the master class on video and took up work on the bugs.
