Silk Cat Eye 4

Silk Cat Eye 4 is a green shade from Laloo’s Silk Cat Eye collection: a semi-transparent magnetic gel polish that combines a silky sheen with the cat eye effect. On its own it gives a luminous, airy finish that shifts with the light. Layered over another colour, the effect turns deeper and more multidimensional.

Frequently asked questions

What is a silk cat eye gel polish?

A semi-transparent magnetic gel polish. Before curing, a magnet pulls the reflective particles into a line, wave or 3D shape, creating a soft, silky shine rather than a solid colour.

Can I wear Silk Cat Eye on its own?

Yes. On its own it gives a soft, luminous, semi-transparent result. Over another colour, such as black, the effect looks deeper and more intense.

How close should the magnet be?

Hold it 3 to 5mm from the nail before curing, and cure straight away so the effect stays sharp. Two magnets at once give more complex designs.

How long does it take to cure?

60 seconds under an LED lamp or 120 seconds under a UV lamp.
