Cat Eye Nails
Magnetic Shine. Mesmerizing Depth.

As part of our Tier 1 collection at Art Nail NYC, cat eye nails offer an elevated look without heavy embellishment. Perfect for clients who want standout style with a smooth, seamless finish.
What Are Cat Eye Nails?
Cat eye nail designs are created using magnetic polish, which contains fine metallic particles. When activated with a special magnet, the polish forms a striking reflective line or wave across the nail, giving the illusion of depth and movement.
In the full-nail version, the entire surface shimmers and shifts with the light, making every angle visually stunning. This design works beautifully with dark, jewel-toned, or metallic shades—and it’s ideal for both short and long nails.
This design is a go-to for clients who want their nails to look neat, professional, and stylish. Whether you prefer a traditional shape or something more modern like almond or coffin nails, French tips enhance the natural beauty of your nails with clean lines and symmetry.
