How to create a fashionable nail design at home
Before you start creating a masterpiece in the style of "cat's eye", you need to make preparations. If the manicure has been done for a long time, you should refresh it, remove the old coating, remove the roughened skin and cuticle, give the nail plates the same shape and length. In a word, a canvas should be prepared for a future picture, the quality and beauty of a future work of art will depend on its degree of preparedness. Next, you need to choose a cat eye nail design, photos of some of them are presented in our article.
After the nails are fully prepared, they must be properly degreased and a special base for varnish should be applied. It will smooth out irregularities and provide the necessary adhesion to the nail, and will also help to avoid excessive exposure to the nail plate and pigmentation.
Then you need to dry the base for several minutes under a special ultraviolet or LED lamp, which is used for drying and disinfection.
Creating a cat's eye nail design, you can slightly increase the effect by applying dark gel polish to the base. This will make the picture more saturated. After application, the layer should be dried using a lamp for manicure.
Second phase
Applying directly magnetic gel polish may require some dexterity and firmness of the hand. First you need to choose a comfortable pose and make sure that when applying varnish, the hand will not tremble from stress. Then, shake the varnish well and proceed with its application. As a rule, gel polish has a dense structure. Therefore, one layer will be quite enough. If it is liquid, it is worth applying it in several layers and dry the lamp before the last coating.
A feature of magnetic varnish is the accumulation of metallic particles in one place under the action of a magnet. This possibility provides only fresh application. If the varnish begins to dry, the picture will be blurry or not work at all. Therefore, it is necessary to work with each nail separately. It should be noted that the cat-eye green nail design is especially popular . The color is reminiscent of the cat's gaze and watchful gaze.
Third stage
Finally, the turn came to the magnet. To create an unusual pattern with its help you need to be very careful. To begin, determine the point on the nail plate, where the magnet will pull the highlight. Then you should bring it to the nail as close as possible, but so as not to touch the painted surface, hold it in this position above the nail until the particles form the desired pattern, and dry it under the rays of the lamp.
The final stage
To diversify the design of Cat's Eye nails (the photo you see in our article), you can use various decorations, rhinestones, golden sand or a pattern.
It will not be superfluous to apply a layer of a special coating to protect manicure from external mechanical damage.
Tips to help keep your manicure for a long time
And, of course, you need to remember the general rules that will help to save a manicure for a long time. When doing homework related to chemicals, always use rubber gloves. They will not only save manicure, but also save delicate female hands from harmful chemical effects. Mechanical damage to the varnish can be avoided by not exposing the nails to unnecessary stress, and by using auxiliary tools in everyday life. Since manicure using gel polish is done using a UV lamp, exposure to nails should be avoided in the first days after coating.
