Cat's eye gel polish on a stained glass base 8ml M-07 - smoky-beige agate
Cosmic gel polish CAT'S EYE MAGNETIC is a fantastic mix of enchanting magnetic "cat's eye" highlights and a translucent stained glass base. The coating looks incredibly deep, reminiscent of the shimmer of precious and semi-precious stones. It is ideal for "Korean" designs when applied without a dark or colored base coat in the same tone. The plastic cat's eye pigment allows you to play with magnets, creating highlights of various shapes, curves, and sizes.
Application technology:
0. Prepare the nail plate for gel polish application: perform a manicure, give the desired shape to the free edge of the nail. If using a remover, remove its residue with a damp cloth
1. Degreasing: mechanically (using a buffer) and chemically (using PREP&FINISH and a lint-free cloth) degrease the nail plate
2. Dehydration: apply NAIL FRESHER to the entire nail, let it air dry until a whitish tint appears on the surface of the nail plate
3. Bonding: with a semi-dry brush, apply an acid-free primer ULTRABOND to the entire nail, leaving 1mm from the cuticle and side walls. Let it air dry for 15 seconds
4. Base coat: apply a base coat in a medium layer. Polymerize the base coat in a UV lamp for 2-3 minutes, in an LED lamp for 60 seconds.
To level the nail plate with a base, we recommend using only bases with a low acidity level.
5. Color. If using a base coat, apply the color and cure in a lamp: in a UV lamp for min 2-3 minutes, and in an LED lamp for 60 seconds. After that, apply a layer of CAT'S EYE MAGNETIC gel polish. Before curing, magnetize the highlight* (you can use a regular magnet, a reinforced magnet, or magnets of various shapes and sizes). Cure the gel polish in a lamp: in a UV lamp for 2-3 minutes, and in an LED lamp for 60 seconds. If necessary, apply a second layer in the same way.
We recommend working in a conveyor method, i.e., one finger at a time.
6. Top coat: seal the coating with a top coat. Polymerize in a UV lamp for 2-3 minutes, in an LED lamp for 1 minute.
When using a top coat with a sticky layer RUBBER TOP, let the coating cool, then remove the stickiness with PREP&FINISH and a lint-free cloth.
To level the nail plate with a top coat, we recommend using top coats of medium-thick and thick consistency.
Strict adherence to the gel polish application technology is the key to long-lasting manicure without chips, cracks, or peeling.
PRO tip: if the highlight didn't work the first time, simply break the pigment with a brush (imitate applying a layer of gel polish) and start over
