Cat's eye - description
From a distance, “cat eye” is a single-color solution that, like a mineral, reflects light from different angles.
In fact, it's the lovely patterns and glowing scales that do this. The latter are small fragments of a manicure magnet contained in special varnish compositions.
Thematic pigments can also be represented by minerals (chrysoberyl).
The main thing is that the finished coating stays securely on the nail plates for half a month, and sometimes even more (if the varnish is from a recognized brand).
“Cat” manicure with microbeads and rhinestones
This adorable and wildly popular design will fit perfectly into a formal occasion. In addition to the iridescent varnish, the nails are decorated with patterns of rhinestones, bouillons, and microbeads. You can independently lay out the desired sketch of rhinestones or use kits with ready-made patterns for inlay.
Cat's eye - benefits
The theme hero is famous for its versatility. It is chosen based on many advantages:
- Relevance for everyday life and parties;
- The friendliness of different dark colors;
- Possibility of decoration with charming symbols;
- Masking defects on the nail plates;
- Great potential for different nail design options;
- Trend trend regardless of season.
They say that a fashionable cat eye manicure is only suitable for long and medium nails. This statement is erroneous, because the hero of the theme can be decorated with individual short plates, while others are in light colors.
The result is a magnificent contrast between different nail representatives.
Color spectrum
In nature there are minerals of various shades. They are united by a common feature - a narrow shimmering strip, which begins to move when the stone rotates. It seems that a cat’s pupil is watching a person’s actions from the inside.
All minerals that have the optical “cat’s eye” effect can be divided by color and quality:
- Tsimofan. A precious stone of noble origin of a yellow or greenish hue, the most beautiful color is milk with honey. It is rare, so it is expensive. It became famous back in Ancient Egypt; archaeologists discovered jewelry with cymophane in the tombs of the pharaohs. Translated it means “like a wave.”
- Tourmaline. There are different colors, but the famous light stripe is clearly visible only in pink and green minerals. Dark shades do not have such a bright feature.
- Quartz cat eye. Inexpensive jewelry stone is rarely translucent, mostly matte. The shades of quartz are always muted - gray, white and yellow.
- Prenite. A translucent light green mineral first brought to Europe from the Cape of Good Hope in the 18th century.
- Moon rock. A rare gem with a “cat’s eye” effect, light gray in color with a heavenly tint. Attracts attention with its unusual glow and radiance.
Minerals of all colors shimmer when light reflects off microscopic air bubbles within the crystal.
Cat's eye - application technology
To create a themed look, you don’t have to visit expensive salons.
You can purchase magnetic gel polish and a UV lamp yourself to use the products as intended at home.
The process of applying “cat eye” is step-by-step:
First of all, the nail plate is prepared - filed and degreased.
Next, the nail is finished with a base layer and dried using a UV lamp in a few seconds.

The next step is to apply gel polish with an instant application of a magnet (you must apply it while maintaining a 2-3 mm distance between the surface of the plate and the magnet itself).
When glare is formed from the influence of a magnet, the decorative layer is dried under a UV lamp.
All that remains is to complete the plot with the top, but this step is very controversial, because the means can distort the result.
When figuring out how to do a cat eye manicure, you need to decide on the color and design option. The latter implies the number of nails that will have to be used under the “cat eye”.
Obviously, it is better to start a thematic craft with one or a couple of plates. With experience, the volume of work can be increased and the technique can be improved.

Gel polish manicure with painting
Now not only experienced masters, but also simple fashionistas can paint a real masterpiece on their nails. All you need is a regular thin brush. With its help, geometric designs, thematic prints, monograms, lace, and origami-style patterns are applied to the dried surface of the nail.
Most often, a transparent thick topcoat is used for this, which looks expressive on the matte surface of the nail. It is important that the design does not stand out from the overall design, but is a harmonious part of it, which is achieved by using similar shades of varnish.
Cat's eye with filling
The hero of the theme is not limited to a single-color background. Its highlights can easily appear through various decorative elements:
- Drawings;
- Lettering;
- Drops;
- Stars;
- Kamifubuki;
- Monograms, etc.
Each of the relevant solutions is presented in different colors and forms. If only their size corresponds to the area of the nail plate. Otherwise, the latter will seem cluttered.
You also need to respect the percentage of decor. For example, all nails with rhinestones look vulgar, but decorations on one or two plates on the ring fingers are a completely different matter.
Features of manicure with cats
Like any other manicure, manicure with cats has its own specific features and nuances. Let us note the most important of them:
- Firstly, manicure with cats is not suitable for every woman. Such a design is still forgivable for a young girl, but for a business lady with a status position, it is better to take a closer look at a more respectable manicure.
- Secondly, manicure with cats is not suitable for every occasion. If this manicure is appropriate for your vacation, on a date or a romantic walk, then for an office where you need to comply with a strict dress code, it is better to choose something else.
- Thirdly, depending on the type, manicure with cats can be too provocative, and sometimes even childish. Yes, undoubtedly the cat design is very cute, but before you make it, think several times whether it suits you in terms of status and other parameters.
Cat's eye with inscriptions
If you want to open your thoughts, then an appropriate technique will help.

Pentagonal figures can represent a holiday, the symbolism of a country, or simply change for the better. Mostly the stars are red, as in many photos of cat-eye manicures and more.
But you can go the other way - use other colors. This will not change the charm, but it will add originality.
Where is it used?
It has long been recognized that the cat's eye has a strong energy field and forms an information flow. For this reason, amulets and talismans are made from the mineral. Magicians and sorcerers use cat's eye amulets to perform ritual ceremonies. For ordinary people, the stone helps protect themselves from dark energy, gain good luck and success in business.
Chrysoberyl has gained popularity as an ornamental stone for making jewelry. Stones resembling cat's eyes look impressive in combination with any metal. Products with the mineral not only perform a decorative function, but also have esoteric benefits:
- the ring distracts negative energy from the owner, takes on all negative vibrations and neutralizes the dark influence of evil forces;
- the bracelet creates a protective ethereal screen around the owner, separating ill-wishers from dangerous thoughts;
- A necklace is the most powerful amulet of attraction for a woman.
For jewelry, natural cat's eye is polished and given a spherical or oval shape, flat on only one side. This processing method is called cabochon.
Interesting! The term "cabochon" translated from French means "head". This polishing method became popular in Europe with the light hand of Cardinal Mazarin.
Chrysoberyl is used as a material for small interior items - figurines, boxes, candlesticks. Cat's eye colored souvenirs in the form of small animal figures look beautiful. Large size finishing slabs are produced from a synthetic mineral produced in chemical plants.
