NEW: POLYSTONE Cat Eye Collection FGME

Magnetic 3D effects for expressive salon looks

Cat Eye looks are among the nail designs that instantly capture attention. They create a sense of depth and movement, appearing different depending on the light. This visual dynamism is exactly what makes them so appealing for salons, brands, and nail concepts: a single effect can be interpreted in countless ways, from elegant and subtle to intense and dramatic.

With the new POLYSTONE Cat Eye Polish FGME, POLYSTONE expands its gel polish range with magnetic effect gels for professional applications. The gels were developed for captivating Cat Eye designs with a dimensional 3D effect – combined with an efficient no-wipe formula, a low-viscosity, self-leveling texture, and versatile application options for everyday salon use.

The result: a product that visibly elevates creative nail art concepts while remaining easy, clean, and efficient to apply.

Benefits

Why POLYSTONE Cat Eye?

Cat Eye is all about depth, movement, and light reflections. By using a magnet, the effect particles within the polish are precisely aligned, creating the characteristic Cat Eye look with a shimmering line, soft gradient, or intense 3D effect.

The key advantage: the effect can be controlled not only through the magnetic technique, but also through the chosen base color. On dark bases, the result is particularly intense and high-contrast. On nude, cream, or lighter bases, the effect appears softer, more elegant, and more suitable for everyday wear.

This gives Cat Eye Polish a wide range of creative possibilities – from subtle shimmer accents to striking statement nails.

The final result changes depending on the base color, allowing for individual looks with varying levels of intensity.

Self-Leveling Texture
The low-viscosity formula applies evenly and supports a smooth, streak-free finish.

One Effect, Many Looks

Cat Eye is especially versatile because the look is not limited to a single style. Depending on the base color, magnet position, and desired intensity, the final result can be styled in very different ways.

For clients who love bold designs, a black base creates maximum depth, strong contrast, and a dramatic 3D effect. Ideal for evening looks, events, gala designs, or statement nails made for social media.

For more subtle applications, Cat Eye can be used over nude, cream, or soft color tones. The effect then appears more understated, elegant, and highly wearable – perfect for business looks, subtle shimmer accents, or clients who want nail art without making too bold a statement.

The result is a product that works equally well for expressive nail art concepts and wearable premium looks.

Step-by-Step Salon Application

01
Preparation

Clean and degrease the natural nail or enhancement and prepare the surface carefully. Remove all dust and particles completely. Then apply a suitable base color and cure. The choice of base directly influences the final Cat Eye effect.

02
Apply Cat Eye 

Apply a thin, even layer of Cat Eye FGME. The low-viscosity, self-leveling texture supports smooth, streak-free application. Do not cure yet.

03
Position the Magnet

Immediately after application, hold the magnet as close to the nail as possible without touching the surface. Hold for 5–10 seconds to create the desired effect. Different angles, distances, and positions produce varying lines, gradients, and depth effects.

04
Cure

Cure the nail immediately once the magnetic pattern is in place: LED for 60 seconds or UV for 120 seconds. This locks the effect into the exact position created with the magnet.

05
Work on Each Nail Individually

For especially precise results, it is recommended to work on each nail individually: apply, position the magnet, then cure. This helps prevent the effect from shifting unintentionally between nails.

06
Finish

Thanks to the no-wipe formula, no cleanser is required after curing. The gel cures without a dispersion layer. A top coat can be applied optionally if additional shine or extra sealing is desired.

Pro Tip for the Perfect Cat Eye Look

Pro Tip for the Perfect Cat Eye Look

For an especially dimensional 3D effect, the magnet should not only be held directly above the nail. Gently guiding it along the sides of the nail creates additional depth and makes the effect appear even more three-dimensional.

Even small changes in angle and position can significantly alter the final look. This makes Cat Eye ideal for customized designs that can be quickly adapted to different client preferences in everyday salon work.

Troubleshooting

If the Effect Isn’t Perfect Right Away

The effect isn’t strong enough
Use the magnet immediately after application and hold it as close to the surface as possible without touching the polish. The longer you wait between application and magnetizing, the weaker the effect may become.

The application looks streaky
Apply Cat Eye in a thin, even layer. A layer that is too thick can reduce the self-leveling effect and result in a less even finish.

The effect shifts between nails
Work on each nail individually: apply, position the magnet, then cure. This keeps the pattern precise and easy to control.

The base color changes the look more than expected
This is not a flaw, but a key creative advantage. Dark base colors enhance depth and contrast, while lighter bases create softer, more elegant shimmer effects.
