This option was a manicure, resembling the pupil of a cat. It looks interesting and original in itself. And in addition to jewelry and other techniques looks just great.
Design features
The cat's eye design is created using a special magnetic varnish coating.
Nail art professionals were inspired to create this manicure not only by a narrow cat's pupil, but also by a special semi-precious stone digital camera. An interesting effect is the incidence of light on it from different angles. Shades smoothly change from dark to very light.
This type of manicure is simple to perform. You can make an original “cat's eye” with a special coating with magnetizable particles. Immediately after applying to the dry layer, they act with a special magnet. Thus, the microparticles are collected in fancy patterns.
Patterns depend on the shape of the magnet and the movements of the master's hands. Since it is necessary to create a special pattern immediately after the application, the pattern is performed on each finger separately.
A step-by-step instruction of execution will help to make a manicure in a popular technique at home. First, you should treat the nail and cuticle in the usual way. This design manicure looks good on both short and long nails. The preferred shape is a circle, oval or square with rounded corners. It looks most harmonious with a picture of this kind.
A base coat is applied to treated and degreased nails to durability and protect the nail plate from the penetration of varnish.
Then a gel of the chosen color is applied in two layers. Before coating the bottle with varnish should be mixed well by shaking for about 30 seconds. Following the application of each of the varnish layers, a magnet is brought to the nail immediately. It is held five millimeters from the surface of the nail plate for about 10-15 seconds.
Each of the layers is dried under a UV lamp separately.
The final coating with the effect of quick-drying will help extend the life of your original manicure.
The resulting pattern in the form of modulations completely depends on the configuration and properties of the magnet itself. Therefore, it is necessary to buy a special varnish together with a magnet of the same manufacturer.
