White Nails Are a Year-Round Fashion Now

White-tipped French manicures have been around since the mid-1970s. But all-white nails took center stage in the mid-2010s. Once Kim Kardashian and Rihanna wore them, it became stylish to do the same. White may be a neutral color, but it’s not plain vanilla. Instead, it’s very versatile and suitable for a wide range of tastes from minimalist to maximalist. Check out Selena Gomez’s white nails or Margot Robbie’s Oscar manicure from a few years back.

Also, it's not just solid white nails anymore. We've seen pearly whites, off-whites, and now shimmery cat eye white nails. The trend kept evolving to stay fresh. Even high-fashion runways are in on it, with models flashing white nails at shows for Chanel and Dior.

After all, a white manicure somehow manages to look trendy and timeless. It can be edgy enough for the cool kids but classic enough for the office. White nails don’t seem to be just a passing fad. They've become a staple in the fashion world. With new twists like white cat eye polish, it looks like they're here to stay.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Cat Eye Nails Are Versatile

Cat Eye Nails Are Versatile

Think about it--white cat eye nails are the chameleons of the nail world. First, they upgrade everyday wear but are low-key enough to not look like you're trying too hard. They provide a "put-together" vibe that goes with everything effortlessly.

But white cat eye nails are suitable for fancy occasions, too. Elegant enough for a wedding, subtly sexy for a date, ready to party night or day. They look professional at the office and are way more interesting than a plain nude polish.

Moreover, white cat eye nails flow with the seasons. In summer, they give off beach vibes, especially if you go for a pearlescent finish. In the fall, they look crisp and fresh against dark outfits. In winter, they suit the chilly weather perfectly. Lastly, in spring, they have a “new beginnings” feel.

Let's not forget how they shimmer. Depending on the angle and the lighting, white cat eye nails can look completely different. It's like having multiple manicures in one.

In summary, white cat eye nails are whatever you need them to be. Dressed up, dressed down, work or play.

Cat Eye Polish Tutorial

Cat eye polish has iron particles that create a glitter effect when lined up by a magnet. Unlike regular glitter polish, the sparkle in cat eye polish is customizable.

How to Apply Cat Eye Polish for Best Results

You’ll need a nail lamp with UV or LED light, base and top coats, and at least one powerful magnet. Our store has magnets that create a variety of patterns in cat eye polish. Now, once your nails are prepped, here’s how to proceed:

  1. Since cat eye polishes are gels, it’s necessary to apply a base coat and cure it. If you wish, add another layer of colored polish and cure it. The shade directly underneath the cat eye polish may alter its appearance.
  2. Add a generous layer of cat eye polish. Leave it wet.
  3. Hold a magnet very close to the polish for a few seconds to watch the particles align. In some videos, you may see the artist moving the magnet instead. The technique varies depending on the look you want.
  4. Cure the polish to freeze the glittery particles into place when the design looks good. It’s easiest to do one fingertip at a time.
  5. Apply a top coat to protect your work.

Experiment with different magnet shapes and positions to achieve varied patterns. Remember that one side of the magnet will push the metal bits and the other part will pull them. Avoid using too much polish and ensure the magnet is close enough to the nail for the best results.

Cat eye manicures typically last two to three weeks. The glitter may shift over time and the design may become less distinct, but it will still sparkle! When it’s time for a change, the polish removes like most gels do, with acetone.
