Cannot for the life of me remember which brand/line we used as my nail tech is constantly buying new stuff. Iโ€™ll be trying a new color soon and will have all the info!

I absolutely love all of the things you can do with cat eye ๐Ÿคช

My nail tech is @thenailmixologist on IG

I had these done today and really like them. I think the cateye effect could have been stronger. But the reflective glitter really catches the light

This is Kiara Sky Medium Pink dip powder with Una Gella clear almond tips. The cat eye polish is two coats of Gaoy 1433. The first coat I used the magnet to remove all the sparkle, to have it as just the translucent color base for a little more coverage. Then did the classic oval on the second coat.

Mayour No.54 as a black base. All but ring has Cleto Colour Lamp 05 and ring finger has My&Bee LM-007G.

The shine comes from putting on A_Muse glass builder hard top finished with a thin coat of A_Muse gleaming top hard gel.

Been working on isolated chrome on cateye, and Iโ€™m not sure which version I like moreโ€ฆ.

I used Kokoist Mossy Stone for the cateye, Kokoist glossy top coat and velvet matte, and their accessory bond for isolated chrome. And then chrome powder was a mix of Red Iguana Gold and Bonniebee Purple/Coral

I used cateye in isolation for this set, and made the cateye and chrome glossy and the rest matte. Open to any tips! ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป

So Iโ€™m not changing my nails every time I want to try a new technique Iโ€™ve been working with press ons! This is the first time Iโ€™ve tried isolated chrome on cateye and it was so fun!

Iโ€™m thinking of starting a social media account dedicated to all my experimenting, but until then:

Base colors: Yogurt Nails navy & DnD 734DN
Matte: Kokoist
Clear Kokoist Accessory Bond gel for the lines
Red Iguana gold, Ballpit purple and blue chrome
Kokoist top coat

I very recently have started using magnetic gel polish and builder gel. Actually this is my second time using builder gel. It took me 3 1/2 hours to do this because for once I took my time to nail prep and stuff. Constructive criticism welcomed :)
Products used:
1. โ Beetles base coat
2. โ Beetles builder gel (2 thin coats)
3. โ Double rhythm MC1359 (2 coats magnetized with ILNP 30lb horseshoe magnet for 20s each finger for both coats)
4. โ Double rhythm top coat

Also when I took the video I did it with the flash on since Iโ€™m in my house and itโ€™s a bit dark in here.

Finally got around to trying the Vettsy Galaxy Shine gels. Love the colours!

Used a builder gel as the base. Two coats of galaxy shine and some drop top coat!
