Step by step

1. Prep the nail plate and file a clean short square shape.
2. Apply base coat and cure; use a dark or coordinating base selectively to intensify the galaxy shades.
3. Place different jewel-toned cat-eye colors across the set and magnetize each nail to create luminous depth.
4. For a galaxy effect, angle the magnet to create curved or off-center light movement rather than identical straight bands.
5. Add fine gold chrome lines and small sparkling accents after the color layers are cured.
6. Encapsulate raised accents when needed, then apply glossy top coat and cure for a smooth high-shine finish.

Product shades and magnetic results can vary by brand, pigment and magnet strength.
