Background Preparation: Complete your standard base layer or builder gel reinforcement and cure it fully. To maximize the contrast and deep 3D shift of the magnet lines, applying a dark background color layer (such as black) is highly recommended.

Applying Cat Eye: Stir the bottle gently, then apply an even, medium layer of DARK Cat Eye Gel Polish across the nail surface. Do not cure it yet!

Sculpting the Flare: Instantly position a high-power professional nail art magnet close to the wet layer (keep a distance of 3–5 mm from the nail plane to avoid touching the gel).

For a sharp diagonal line: Hold the rectangular magnet static over the nail for 5–10 seconds.

For a velvet/diffused reflection: Use the magnet from the side walls and free edge to push the shimmer field toward the center.

Locking the Illusion: The moment you achieve the desired light pattern, immediately move the hand into a professional UV/LED lamp and cure for 60 seconds to lock the metallic particles permanently in place. Work nail by nail for the sharpest precision.

Finishing: Seal and protect your finished magnetic masterpiece with your preferred DARK Top Coat and execute a final cure for 60 seconds.
