❓FAQ About This Design
Why Isn't My Cat Eye Gel Moving When I Use a Magnet?
First, check whether the gel has already been cured. Once cured, the magnetic particles will no longer move. Make sure to use the magnet on the cat eye gel before curing.
Second, check the magnet placement. If it's too far away, the magnetic pull won't be strong enough. Hold the magnet parallel and as close to the nail as possible without touching the gel.
Why are the plaid lines coming out blurry?
First, make sure the nail surface is wiped clean with cleanser before stamping the plaid lines — no excess tacky layer, dust, or residue.
Then, before layering new lines on top, make sure the previous layer is fully cured.
