The Shimmery Cat-Eye Trend Takes Velvet Nails To The Next Level

Because of the nature of the magnetic polish, a number of effects can be made. But the cat-eye nail specifically features a highlight in the center of the nail to emulate the look of cat eyes, per PopSugar. This set of teal and pink cat-eye nails by @nailsssdone on Instagram perfectly embodies the trend, while also amping up the drama with silver gel embellishments. 

Another look we love is this classic, amber cat-eye nail look seen on @threnodyinvelvet via Instagram. The video captures the mesmerizing effect of the magnetic polish, as the highlight shimmers in the light, and creates gorgeous shadows across the rest of the nail. And, for a more experimental take on the trend, @nail.brat on Instagram created these cat-eye nail jelly drops in fuchsia and electric blue. The effect of the polish makes these jelly drops almost appear alive! 

Should you want to try the look at home, boutique nail polish brand ILNP makes several beautiful magnetic polishes, and sells a magnetic wand to go with them.
