What Are Cat Eye Nails? 10 Magnetic Press-On Picks You Can Try Instantly
If you're looking for a nail look that's both mesmerizing and modern, cat eye nails might just be your new obsession. Known for their sleek, light-reflecting lines and velvet-like finish, cat eye nails are making waves in salons and on social media. The best part? You don’t need a magnet or a salon appointment to achieve this look anymore.
At Nail Lover, Singapore’s first press-on nails salon, we’ve made it easy to wear the cat eye trend with salon-quality press-on nails SG—no polish, no UV light, no fuss.
What Are Cat Eye Nails & Why Are They Trending?
Cat eye nails get their name from the way light reflects off the surface, creating a glowing stripe that shifts with movement—similar to how a cat’s eyes shine. Traditionally, this effect is created using magnetic nail polish with iron particles, shaped by a magnet.
While beautiful, magnetic polish can be tricky to master at home. That's why our press-on nails Singapore collection features ready-made cat eye designs, already finished with the perfect shine and dimension. Just press on and go—no salon visit required.
Cat Eye Nails FAQ
How does the cat eye effect work?
The effect comes from metallic pigments or iron particles in the polish. When exposed to a magnet during application, they move to form a reflective line across the nail.
Do press-on nails have the same effect?
Yes! Our cat eye press-on nails SG are pre-designed using premium materials that mimic the same light-shifting finish—without needing a magnet or polish.
Will they stay on securely?
Absolutely. At our press-on nails salon Singapore, we use professional tools and application techniques to ensure long-lasting results. Our in-store service provides a stronger hold than standard DIY glue tabs.
