GAOY Sheer Silk Cat Eye Gel Nail Polish Set — 6 Jelly & Holographic Pots, Magnetic Mermaid Prism

This kit combines sheer, jelly-like pigments with a magnetic shimmer to produce mermaid-prism effects and soft translucence ideal for layered nail art. Each 2.5g pot contains buildable color that responds to the included cat eye magnet, and the set arrives with a brush, cuticle trimmer, and magnet so you can start styling at home or use it in a salon. The formula is designed to be cured under a UV/LED lamp for a long-wearing finish and performs best over a lightly buffed nail bed plus a good base and top coat.

How do I create the cat-eye effect with these gels?

Use the included magnet before curing to pull the metallic particles into a crescent or stripe, producing the signature cat-eye look. Work one nail at a time while the gel remains uncured and hold the magnet close (but not touching) for a few seconds to shape the shimmer.

• Apply base coat and cure briefly if instructed.
• Place a thin layer of GAOY gel and hover the magnet 2–3 mm above the nail for 5–10 seconds.
• Cure under a UV/LED lamp for 60 seconds to lock the pattern.
• Finish with top coat and cure again for durability.

What are the color and finish options included in the set?

The set contains six sheer potted gels in jelly pink, blue, green and holographic mermaid prism shades that layer well for custom hues and depth. Each pot delivers translucent coverage that can be built up for richer color or worn thin for a stained-glass effect.

• Sheer jelly tones for soft, layered looks.
• Holographic and prism flakes that flash under light.
• Magnetic particles formulated for clear cat-eye lines.
• Small 2.5 g pots for testing, mix-and-match, and travel.

How long does the manicure last and what are application tips?

When applied over a prepared nail with a base and top coat and cured correctly, the gel can last up to four weeks with minimal chipping. For best adhesion, lightly buff the nail surface, remove dust, and make sure lids are tightened after use to prevent product degradation.

• Lightly buff nail bed and clean off dust before application.
• Use a recommended base coat and cure times per lamp instructions.
• Top coat and final cure to maximize longevity and shine.
• Store in a cool, dry place and re-tighten lids after each use.

How do I handle thicker gel or seasonal changes?

Gel consistency can thicken in cold environments; gently warming the pot in your hands or placing it in a warm room for a short time will make application smoother. If the formula feels too viscous, stir gently with the included brush to redistribute pigments but avoid introducing air bubbles.

• Warm pots briefly in your palms or a warm drawer before use.
• Stir gently with the brush to homogenize thicker gels.
• Do not microwave; avoid overheating which can alter performance.
• Tighten lids to prevent UV exposure and drying out between uses.
