How to create devil’s eye nail art?

This time, we will show you the complete process of creating “Devil’s Eye” nail art. By combining the characteristics of cat’s eye gel with painting techniques, we will create unique nail art with a mysterious and cool feel.

Step 1: Base color and first layer of cat’s eye gel

First, apply black gel polish to the nails (apply the black gel polish gel evenly and dry it to provide a dark base for the cat’s eye effect and enhance the gloss contrast).

Then apply blue cat-eye gel polish gel (I used CHROMÉCLAIR’s Hema Free Gel Polish CE-06, which has a sophisticated, high-quality color, good flow, and is easy for beginners to apply evenly. It is also non-toxic and healthy). Use a magnet on the surface of the nail: hold the magnet close to the nail surface,

After sucking out the wide light, gently push the magnet from the tip of your finger toward the base of your nail.

Let the light and shadow of the cat’s eye extend from your fingertips inward to create a gradient effect, then dry this layer of gel polish.

Step 2: Apply a second layer of cat’s eye gel to enhance the layers

Next, apply a coat of purple cat’s eye gel polish (CE-10). Use the magnet to draw out the wide light (repeat the magnetic attraction action similar to the first step to allow the second layer of cat’s eye gloss to overlap with the first layer in terms of color and light and shadow).

At this point, you can see that the base color of the nail has become richer, and the cat’s eye luster shows a variety of changes from different angles—as the viewing angle changes, bands of iridescent colors such as blue and purple flow, laying the foundation for the subsequent “devil’s eye” design.

Step 3: Create a magical double halo with two magnets

Take two magnets that attract each other and place them close to your nails at a specific angle. Use the magnetic force to guide the magnetic powder in the cat’s eye gel to create a “magical double halo” effect.

This step creates a ring-shaped layered effect on the nail surface, instantly enhancing the sophistication and elegance of the manicure. Under the light, it shimmers like the iris pattern outside the pupil.

Step 4: Draw the devil’s eye to add a thematic touch

Using black nail art glue and a fine-tipped nail art pen, draw the “Devil’s Eye” design at the center of the nail: first outline the vertical, elongated pupil shape, then gently blend or refine the edges to enhance the eye’s intimidating and mysterious appeal. This step transitions the nail art from a vibrant base color to a story-driven thematic design, infusing the overall style with a cool, edgy vibe.

Finishing

Final coat (apply a top coat of glossy polish and cure under a UV lamp to protect the nail art design and shine, and extend its durability).

And there you have it—the “Evil Eye” nail art is complete! The mysterious cat-eye effect paired with the unique devil eye design makes this nail art a real eye-catcher in everyday life. If you’re interested, why not give this technique a try.
