How long do cat eye nails last?

Cat eye nails made with gel polish last 2-3 weeks with proper prep and a sealed top coat, while regular magnetic polish fades in about a week. Lavis Cat Eye is a HEMA-free magnetic gel, so it holds the full 2-3 week range when cured under a 48W+ LED lamp.

Are cat eye nails dip or gel?

Cat eye nails are most commonly gel. A magnetic gel with iron particles is applied, a magnet pulls the particles into a shimmering stripe, then it cures under LED. A dip-powder version exists but still needs a magnetic gel layer and gel top coat to show the effect.

What is a cat eye French manicure?

A cat eye French manicure is a French tip painted with magnetic cat eye gel instead of plain color. A magnet is held over the wet tip to form a reflective slit of light, then cured. It pairs a classic French shape with a metallic, light-shifting tip.

What is the cat eye effect on nails?

The cat eye effect is a 3D band of shifting light across the nail, created when a magnet aligns fine iron particles in magnetic gel before curing. The shimmer moves with the light and angle, like a cat's-eye gem. Lavis offers it in 240+ shades across CE1-CE16.

How do I choose a cat eye collection?

Pick by mood: nudes like CE1 Cozy Cashmere for everyday, bold 9D depth like CE7 Villain Era or CE10 Beauty Bureau for drama, pastels like CE4 Fairy Tale, or neons like CE14 Cosmic Voltage. Every Lavis collection is HEMA-free and works with any standard cat-eye magnet.

Is Lavis Cat Eye gel HEMA-free?

Yes. Lavis Cat Eye is formulated HEMA-free and TPO-free, made in California with CA Prop 65 compliance, so it is gentler on sensitive nail beds for daily salon and home use while still delivering up to 21-day chip-resistant wear.
