Cat Eye Nails
TBH, cats are making an impact in beauty beyond just makeup! Over now, cat eye nails have taken over the latest nail trend. These feline-inspired nails feature a subtle metallic line running diagonally across the nails. These shimmering lines give your nails a reflective, dimensional look that mimics the alluring iris of a cat. After painting the base coat, metallic nail polish is painted over it in a diagonal stripe. The galactic effect is created using a magnet which when held over the nail, moves the magnetic particles in the metallic nail polish. The possibilities to create variations are endless, from deep blues to vibrant purples, the color options are as captivating as the gaze of a cat in the moonlight.
So the next time you're looking for something minimalistic, yet luxurious, why not consider adding a touch of dimension with cat nails?
