modelones Cat Eye Magnet Set for Nails

A compact toolkit of nine shaped magnets and guides that let you create heart, V-shaped French, black-hole and classic cat-eye nail effects at home or in a salon.

If you like reflective, multi-dimensional cat-eye manicures, the modelones Cat Eye Magnet Set bundles a variety of magnets and metal guides so you can shape magnetic polish into precise patterns without extra tools. This kit combines a 2-in-1 cylindrical magnet, ball magnets, a scissor-shaped wand, a heart-forming magnet with a Y-shaped guide, and specialised guides for French and black-hole looks. It’s designed for use with magnetic cat-eye gel polishes and cures quickly under LED/UV lamps.

How do I make a heart-shaped cat-eye design?

Positioning and timing are the two keys to heart patterns. Hold the heart magnet and Y-shaped metal guide over freshly applied cat-eye gel polish — approximately 3–5 mm above the nail — and keep it steady for 15–30 seconds so the magnetic particles migrate into the heart shape; then cure under LED/UV light immediately.

• Use the heart magnet with the Y-shaped guide for crisp edges.
• Keep the magnet side facing the nail; do not touch the wet surface.
• Cure in LED for ~60 seconds or UV for ~120 seconds right after magnet use.
• Seal with a top coat for longevity and shine.

Which magnet creates V-shaped or French cat-eye effects?

The kit’s cylindrical 2-in-1 magnet and the included nail guides enable V-shaped, smiling French, and glassy moon looks by redirecting magnetic pigment along a line or curve. Hold the cylinder or place a guide above the nail and maintain a steady distance until the effect forms, then cure under light.

• Use the round-head side of the 2-in-1 for linear V or smile guides.
• Swap to the alternate head for softer curves or mirrored lines.
• Combine with French guides for consistent placement across nails.
• Small adjustments in distance change intensity and shape.

What are the best practices for using the magnets safely and effectively?

To get predictable results, keep magnets steady and avoid contact with wet polish; touching can smear pigments and reduce magnetic pull. Work nail-by-nail, cure immediately after magnetizing, and use thin, even gel layers to allow magnetic particles to move freely.

• Hold magnet 3–5 mm above polish for 15–30 seconds.
• Do not touch polish with the magnet or guides.
• Cure nails immediately after magnet shaping to lock the effect.
• Apply final top coat to enhance durability and gloss.
