Cat eye manicure: top 12 stylish ideas for 2020

The “cat eye” manicure is to the taste of many clients, and all thanks to its originality, a certain magic and creativity. Moreover, it looks great on nails of different lengths and shapes.

Essentially, a “cat’s eye” is a nail design option that is performed using special nail industry products and imitates the color of chrysoberyl stone. A special feature of the manicure is a long flare of light that moves along the surface of the nail plate depending on the lighting and viewing angle.

Most often, to create a popular design, a special 3D, 5D or 9D gel polish with a special formula and a magnet are used. The metal particles in the coating are attracted by a magnet and rise to the surface, creating a beautiful design called a cat's eye. To obtain the desired effect, the master can also use special pigments or a cat-eye top coat.

We've collected a variety of cat eye manicure options to inspire you to experiment with this unusual design. Light or dark, with or without a pattern, in one color or several - each of your clients will definitely find a suitable option for themselves!

Moreover, even the overflow effect itself can be different - it all depends on the thickness of the strip of magnetic gel polish that you applied, the method of using the magnet and, of course, on the chosen product.
