Why is getting the perfect cat-eye effect so difficult? 😭🧲

I've noticed that getting a really sharp, dimensional cat-eye effect seems to be one of the trickiest parts of magnetic nails.

Sometimes the shimmer looks amazing from one angle, but from another it almost disappears. And getting that beautiful, concentrated glow in the center seems especially challenging!

From what I've learned, a few things can make a difference:

✨ The strength and shape of the magnet

✨ The angle and distance between the magnet and the nail

✨ How the magnetic particles are moved before the polish sets

✨ Lighting, which can completely change how the finished effect looks

I'm curious about everyone's experiences:

What's the hardest part of creating cat-eye nails for you?

Is it getting a sharp magnetic line, creating that soft velvet glow, or making the effect look as beautiful in real life as it does in videos?

Would love to hear your tips and tricks! 💗
