beetles Gel Polish Cat Eye Gel Nail Polish Set Lunar Mermaid — 6-Color Magnetic Kit with Water-Ripple Magnet

Beetles Cat Eye Gel Polish Set — Lunar Mermaid is a six-color magnetic gel kit that creates shimmering, wave-like 'cat eye' nails in blues, purples, teals and navy for salon-quality mermaid finishes at home or in studio.

Inspired by moonlit water and coastal gemstones, this kit delivers six complementary shades with built-in cat eye shimmer plus a dedicated water-ripple magnet for dynamic, flowing effects. The colors range from translucent sky-blue to rich navy, allowing soft luminous looks or dramatic contrasts when layered over darker polish. Formulated for UV/LED curing and long wear, the set is designed for DIY mani enthusiasts and nail professionals seeking oceanic, high-dimension results.

How do I make the 'water ripple' cat eye effect?

Creating the rippled cat eye look is a simple three-step process: apply the gel, hover the magnet to shape the shimmer, then cure. The included ripple magnet pulls pigment into linear, wave-like highlights that mimic light on water. Practice on a single nail first to control magnet distance and timing for consistent patterns.

• Apply base coat and thin layer of Beetles cat eye gel polish.
• Hold the water ripple magnet 3–5 mm above the nail for 5–10 seconds.
• Cure under UV/LED lamp (60–120 seconds) and finish with top coat.

Which finishes and looks can I create with these six shades?

The Lunar Mermaid palette supports delicate translucent shimmer, bold high-contrast cat eyes, and layered mermaid gradients. Use individual colors for full-coverage manicures or combine shades for ombré, French tips, or accent nails. Layering over black increases the shimmer’s contrast for a vivid, metallic effect.

• Soft daily shimmer: single coats for translucent glow.
• Bold cat eye: layer over black or dark gel base.
• Mermaid gradients: blend multiple shades for depth and color shift.

How long does the polish last and how is it cured?

When applied according to professional steps (base coat, color, and top coat) this gel formula is engineered for long-wear performance and high gloss. Each layer cures rapidly under UV/LED lamps—typically within 60–120 seconds—so you can finish a manicure efficiently. Proper prep and sealing at the free edge extend wear and reduce chipping.

• Typical cure time: 60–120 seconds under UV/LED lamp.
• Expected wear: extended glossy finish when applied correctly.
• Recommended: use base and top coat (not included) for best durability.

What practical tips improve the cat eye effect and longevity?

Small technique adjustments make a big difference: shake bottles well to redistribute metallic particles, hold the magnet close but not touching, and work on one nail at a time for best results. Conduct a skin sensitivity check prior to first use and avoid contact with eyes or mouth. Remove safely with soak-off remover designed for gel polish.

• Shake polish gently before each use to mix pigments.
• Work nail-by-nail when using the magnet for precise patterns.
• Perform a patch test and follow product safety instructions.
