The gel polish with the “silky cat eye” effect makes all the details stand out. This time, Korean nail artists have found a new way to use it.
Korean nail designs have been conquering the beauty world and the hearts of all fashionistas for years with their originality, creativity and attention to detail. Their designs often combine vibrant colors, unusual textures and original ornaments; they use rhinestones, foils, embossing and 3D art in shapes that no one had ever thought of before.
Local artists are not afraid to experiment and every year they offer us new and diverse works of art, from minimalist to contrasting and multi-layered. They have spread all over the world thanks to the popularity of Korean culture, K-pop, K-dramas and, of course, social networks. That’s why gel nails with the “cat’s eye” effect have gained a second chance this winter.
The coating, which resembles silk fabric and shines in the light, quickly became one of the most popular trends in nail art and has remained popular for more than a month. The magnetic particles in the varnish create a unique sparkling effect, and the play of light creates beautiful patterns on the nails. It’s no wonder that this trend is so popular in the cold season, because dark colors and light nudes are great for the winter season. In the company’s collective, everyone relies on bright colors, and with the arrival of the New Year, various models, as well as monochrome “cats”, began to become popular on the Internet. But this experiment is not over yet.
Many have already dubbed this striped pattern the January edition.
On a snow-white, monochrome cat-like background with a matte effect, many transparent lines are applied, resembling ice, icicles or garlands. But other things, such as nail art, are becoming just as popular these days. It is also easier to make and looks more unusual and less attractive than the classic cat.
This glitter manicure is done with a brush or magnet.
The familiar gradient effect can be achieved by stretching the glitter gel from the white edges to the middle of the nail plate or by covering almost the entire nail with a brush and lifting the magnets to the cuticle and nail bed. In the second procedure, the glitter pieces will do everything for you and will stand as if you had created them with magnets.
There is no single color scheme, manicurists combine transparent bases with pink, cream and cream, black and silver, “cat” colors and complete everything with drawings, rhinestones and even additional brushes. By the way, this variant of the popular model, unlike all the previous ones, is more suitable for medium and long nails.
