Cat's eye manicure

6 years ago

Has anyone done this? I took my niece to get a manicure the other day and we saw this option. They put a small magnet over the nail to draw the cat's eye line out. I love it!

I don't want to tell you what I thought when I saw this...Manicuring a cat's eye? Whew! Glad it didn't involve a feline but nails.

That's a new one! Is there metal in the polish?

I have found cat eye marbles at AC Moore, Michaels, Walmart, Hobby Lobby, Joannes and various dollar stores. They take turns going on sale. I think Michael's has the best selection, but each store has its own specialties. Good Luck!

Why not call the other Vet and ask? It may be that time is of importance and the other eye could have the same problem if this one isn't treated right away. It would be helpful to know what causes this.

I noticed these spots on my cat as well but when I tried to remove them with cat eye tear removing spray it worked for me. I'll suggest you to spray atleast thrice a week to get better results. NOTE: Exceeding the does may cause allergy to your pet consult vet first before using.

Eld, there must be due to using the magnet but I didn't ask. Rita, you're welcome! Nicole, thanks. It's twisted so you can't see the whole thing. I'll post a better picture. Je, lol. How do you do anything with nails like that? I had mine cut with the manicure because they were too long and I couldn't put jewelry on. Rita, if you do try it they are a tad more expensive, probably because of the special polish and having to individually magnet every finger. They were 10.00 more.

YOU are rockin' a ROCK! :0) Very nice...and not the usual, everyday design. Is it close to a carat?

That would not be something I would do, but it's interesting. I keep my nails softly rounded and buffed for shine. When I do use polish, I opt for nude, buff, and pink shades. Boring, I know. ;-)

I've never heard of that, but your nails (and your ring) sure are pretty. Love the color.

Thanks, Nicole. Yes, it's about a carat. I don't usually go for such a wild color, but I was with my 25 year old niece, I think she influenced me ha ha. She got a beautiful dark brown and the cat eye stripe was golden. Very pretty.

Oh you should always do a wild color on your nails...I used to regularly do ombre on my own. It's very easy to diy.

Teal was my color of choice...

Sleeperblues, I love your nails!

Hi lily316,

I would propose to you that there aren't many catty females around here.

Very pretty. Never seen this before.

Rock Hounds are familiar with this effect, as found in tiger eye.

http://geology.com/gemstones/tiger-eye/

When the stone is tipped, the light band travels across the stone. It is due to tightly bundled asbestos fibers encased the the chalcedony stone.

Its the same effect that forms a star sapphire although the 'fibers' are from a different source. Usually, the sapphire star is 6 rayed. Only a few sapphires will star. It has to do with the internal structure of the crystal and a sapphire has to be cabbed in the proper direction for the star to show. The star only shows when the crystal is viewed vertically to its "C" axis.
