GAOY Cat Eye Pearl Gel Polish Set — 6 Colors (6.5 ml) with Magnet & Dotting Pen, Holographic Shimmer

GAOY Pearl Gel Polish Cat Eye Set is a six-color holographic gel kit with a magnet and dotting pen that creates pearlescent, cat-eye and mermaid shimmer nail art at home.

This professional-style kit includes six 6.5 ml gel polishes in iridescent white, blue, pink, purple and glitter variations, a cat eye magnet, and a dual-ended dotting pen so you can sculpt luminous stripes, swirls and sparkling finishes. The formulas respond to the included magnet to form the signature cat-eye stripe and offer a pearl-like depth when applied thicker. Cures under a standard UV/LED lamp and pairs with your usual base and top gels for longer wear.

How do I make the cat eye stripe and what gear do I need?

Create the cat-eye effect by applying a slightly thicker layer of the gel, then holding the GAOY magnet briefly above the wet polish to pull the magnetic particles into a stripe. Cure immediately after achieving the pattern. You’ll get the best results using a clean nail bed and a compatible lamp.

• Apply base coat and slightly thicker color layer than usual
• Hold the included cat eye magnet 2–3 mm above the wet gel for 5–10 seconds
• Cure under UV/LED lamp (follow your lamp’s timing, typically 60s UV)
• Finish with a gel top coat and final cure for shine and durability

What creative looks can I achieve with the dotting pen and pearl finish?

The dual-ended dotting pen helps you add precise dots, tiny accents, and controlled swirls that interact with the pearl particles in the polish. When applied thicker, the pearlescent pigments produce soft iridescent stripes and mermaid-like depth; the dotting tool lets you layer and detail without brushes.

• Use the large end for bold dots and the small end for fine accents
• Layer pearl shades to build depth before curing
• Create swirls and pearl stripes by dragging the dotting pen through wet gel
• Top coat seals the effect and intensifies holographic shimmer

How long will the manicure last and how should I prep nails?

Longevity depends on prep and application: buffing the nail surface, cleaning oils, and using a proper base coat gives the color something to adhere to and extends wear. Finish with a high-quality top coat and regular aftercare to minimize chipping and maintain shine.

• Lightly buff and clean the nail plate before base coat
• Apply thin, even layers—build to desired opacity
• Cure each layer per lamp instructions to avoid lifting
• Seal with a gel top coat for a glossy, protective finish

Any tips for working in colder weather or fixing thickened gel?

Gel formulas can thicken in low temperatures; warming the bottle in your hands or placing it in a warm water bath for a few minutes helps restore spreadability. If the polish becomes very viscous, shake gently or roll between your palms to mix pigments evenly before application.

• Warm bottles briefly in warm (not hot) water before use
• Roll the bottle to mix rather than shaking aggressively
• Use slightly thinner coats and build color in layers if viscous
• Clean the magnet and dotting tool after each session to avoid residue
