Do I need a special magnet for cat eye?

Yes — cat eye polishes require a magnetic tool to pull the shimmer pattern. Single bar magnet creates crescent moon effect; multi-axis magnet creates starburst depth.

How long do I hold the magnet?

8–12 seconds over wet coat before curing. Hold magnet 1–2mm above polish surface — do not touch the wet polish. Cure with magnet still positioned for sharper pattern.

Why is cat eye a social media winner?

The visible magnet shift creates a video moment that drives TikTok + IG bookings. Salons stocking cat eye report 30–50% higher social engagement on cat eye content vs standard manicures.

How long does cat eye wear?

14–21 days with standard Color Craze base + no-wipe top coat workflow. Same wear time as regular gel polish.

Wholesale on Cat Eye?

Yes — tiered wholesale + Net-15 at $300+ orders. Stock 8–12 hero shades + at least 2 magnet styles for full effect coverage.

How Cat Eye Works

Cat eye gel contains microscopic magnetic particles suspended in pigment. Apply a coat, then hold a cat eye magnet 2–5mm above the wet gel for 3–5 seconds — the particles pull into a striking shimmer line, crescent, wave, or 3D depth pattern. Cure under UV/LED lamp to lock the effect. Different magnet types (bar, oval, ring, 3D-9D) create different signature pulls.
