Little Gem Cat Eye Magnetic Gel Polish – Kirsty Meakin

Description

Little Gem is a magnetic cat eye gel polish. Don’t let the name fool you – Little Gem is nothing short of show-stopping. This gel polish has a juicy magenta pink base with a shock of golden shimmer that slices across the nail with a wave of light.

Inspired by the Little Gem Nebula’s punchy, compact brilliance, this is your go-to when you want your nails to do the talking. 

Cute, chaotic, and basically impossible to ignore. 

Use the Kirsty Meakin Magic wand magnet to activate the magic of this mesmerising cat eye gel polish. Unlocking endless possibilities for your nail designs.

Cat Eye gels contain magnetic particles that shift under a magnet to create a line of light, just like the reflective flash you see in a cat’s eye (hence the name).

Here’s how to get the look:

• Start with your usual prep – file, shape, remove cuticles, and buff the nail surface.
• Apply base coat and cure.
• Apply a black base (optional, but highly recommended for maximum impact), and cure.
• Apply a thin layer of Cat Eye Gel Polish, but don’t cure yet.
• Hold your Cat Eye Magnet over the nail for 5–10 seconds. Hover it about 1–2mm above the surface to pull the light line into position.
• Once you’re happy with the effect, cure under your lamp (LED/UV as recommended for your system).
• Repeat for a second coat if desired, using the magnet again, then cure.
• Finish with top coat, cure again, and cleanse if required. ✨

Pro tip: Move the magnet in different angles or directions (side, diagonal, corner-to-corner) to play with the design – you can create curved lines, beams, and even halo effects.
