Slate blue Royal Ceramic cat eye gel manicure with a gold glitter accent nail at The Nails Stop in Chula Vista

What makes it different

Jewel-tone shimmer, magnet-pulled by hand.

Cat eye gel uses tiny magnetic pigments suspended in a gel polish. We paint a thin coat, hold a small magnet just above the nail, and the pigment lines up into a sharp chatoyant streak — like the inside of a tigereye stone.

  • 24 jewel-toned shades

    From sapphire blue to garnet red — pick the gemstone that's yours.

  • Magnetic chatoyant shimmer

    A magnet pulls the pigment into the signature cat-eye streak.

  • Long-lasting gel formula

    Weeks of high-shine wear with chip-resistant durability.

  • Pairs with any full set

    Looks stunning on natural nails, gel manis, or acrylic.
