In order for a manicure to please you with its appearance, you need to do it correctly. To do this, you must use only high-quality materials and do not violate the instructions. You can entrust your hands to professionals and, relaxing, wait for their work to be completed, or you can make the design yourself at home. Not every woman can paint nails at home, and if you are one of them, then do not take risks and do not waste time - go to the salon right away.

Regardless of the place where the procedure will take place, you will need: sterilized manicure set, grease remover, base composition, cat's eye gel polish, base agent (if necessary), magnetic pen, manicure fixing agent, stencil with patterns, professional lamp for drying the coating.

The application technique requires strict implementation of each stage:

1. The surface of the nail plate is degreased using a special composition;
2. On a grease-free surface Apply one coat of base coat, which is dried in a lamp. Drying time depends on the type and power of the appliance.
3. A layer of varnish of the selected shade is applied. If the texture of the product is dense, then one layer is enough to create the desired effect, and if not, then the varnish is applied in two layers, the first of which is dried.
4. The magnetic pen is brought as close as possible to the painted surface to activate the metal particles of the composition. By moving the magnet in the right directions, the desired pattern is created on the nails. Here it is important to do everything quickly, the time of magnetic exposure should not exceed 5-10 seconds, depending on the chosen varnish. If the varnish has time to dry, then the desired effect will not be achieved. You can come up with a pattern yourself or choose from a stencil.
5. After creating the drawing nails are dried in a lamp until the finish is hard and shiny.
6. A fixative is applied to the nails (it is also called top), then another drying in the lamp follows.
7. Using a special compound (or degreaser) and clean wipes, from the surface of the nail plates the top sticky layer is removed.
8. The process of creating a manicure is over.

• The first two days after the manicure avoid contact with hot water, do not visit saunas, baths, steam rooms;
• Take care of your skin with the help of special creams.

Some ladies believe that Cat's Eye gel polish must shine, because it is in this magical shine that its meaning lies. But matte manicure is no worse. In this matter, the choice is yours.

Professional manicurists who have been working with gel polishes for more than a year note that coatings with the Cat's eye effect are gaining more and more popularity among the fair sex. Working with them is quite simple if you follow the instructions. The most difficult thing in the work of the master is the process of drawing a picture. Many women who come for a manicure do not know what they want to see on their nails, so numerous stencils and the rich experience of the masters come to the rescue.

Girls who prefer to do their beauty at home note that learning how to work with gel polish is not as easy as it seems at first glance. At the slightest non-compliance or violation of the application technology, the manicure turns out to be boring and inexpressive. In addition, a manicure made at home does not last very long on the nails. On average, a home design lasts about a week, and a professional one pleases for almost twenty days.

Women who prefer to do manicures in salons with trusted masters noted an interesting resulting nail shine. Some ladies stick to a monophonic design, because they do not like excessive "bumps" on the nail plates. Fashionistas, who, on the contrary, prefer to focus on one or more nails, noted that gel polish with the effect of a Cat's eye looks great as a base.

All the representatives of the fair half stated that the most difficult thing was to choose a shade of gel polish, because the manufacturing companies took care of all the ladies and released all possible colors and shades for the most demanding taste.

It should be noted that the price of gel polish played a decisive role in the choice. Many young ladies are sure that the quality directly depends on the price, so they chose the most expensive remedy from all those presented. Some women, on the contrary, chose a product at an inexpensive price, since it was important for them to learn how to work with the composition correctly, but they did not want to spend too much, since they were not completely sure of the final result.

The first experience in home manicure, as a rule, was successful. All women somehow got the desired result - the effect of the Cat's eye. But the created manicure did not last long, only about a week. Therefore, someone decided not to experiment anymore and entrust the care of their nails to professionals.

Gel polish "Cat's eye" is a real revolution among other nail design products. The resulting effect will not leave indifferent any, even the most demanding fashionista. Due to the dense texture and carefully selected composition, the manicure will last on the nails for more than one week, which means that you do not have to go to specialists to update the design!
