6 Cat Eye Nail Art Tutorials Using Flat Magnets

If you’re new to nail art and still learning how to create cat-eye nails, these six tutorials on using flat magnets will definitely help you out.

First, prepare two flat magnets and let’s begin our nail art creation！

01 Four-Pointed Star Cat’s Eye:

Place two magnets together. On the nail surface where wide glitter has already been applied, move the magnets up, down, left, and right to attract the glitter. This creates a delicate four-pointed star cat’s eye effect.

It is important to note that before attempting each different cat-eye effect, you must first buff a wide shine onto the nail surface—this is a fundamental step.

02 French Cat’s Eye Effect:

Arrange two magnets in a T-shape, keeping them parallel to the nail surface while performing the light absorption operation. The French cat’s eye effect will then appear.

03 S-shaped Ribbon Cat’s Eye:

Place two magnets together at an angle on the surface to create a dynamic S-shaped ribbon cat’s eye effect.

04 Black Hole Cat’s Eye:

Using one corner of the magnet,

Slightly position the magnet beneath the nail plate to attract light, and a unique black cat’s eye effect is complete.

05 Shrimp Line Cat’s Eye:

Hold the magnet vertically and parallel to the nail surface to achieve the shrimp line cat’s eye effect.

06 Cross Cat’s Eye:

Place two magnets horizontally on the surface to attract everything, creating the cross cat’s eye effect.

Aren’t these designs super fun? Go ahead and try them out to create your own unique cat-eye nail art.

Lastly, I highly recommend CHROMÉCLAIR’s HEMA-vrije gelpolish. The brand places a strong emphasis on safety, featuring low irritation and eco-friendly formulations (HEMA-free & TPO-free) that significantly reduce the risk of allergies while gently nurturing nail health. With an extensive color selection and long-lasting wear (approximately 21 days), every user can enjoy a worry-free and comfortable manicure experience.
