What you'll need

Step by step

  1. Prep the nail plate and file a clean, consistent short square shape.
  2. Apply base coat, cure, then add a thin nude-pink foundation.
  3. Place the pink cat-eye gel only in the French, diagonal or half-nail areas shown in the photo.
  4. Before curing, position the magnet to pull a bright reflective band through each pink section. Cure one nail at a time.
  5. Add the metallic line or chrome accents with a fine liner. Add small crystals only where shown.
  6. Seal the design with glossy top coat and cure thoroughly.

Exact magnetic placement varies with gel pigment and magnet strength. Polish shade numbers can be matched to Kevin T Nails inventory separately.
