Another could be the alluring design the magnetic polish creates. Whether soft and subtle or bold and vibrant, a cat-eye manicure in the right color is always captivating.

Cat-Eye Nail Colors We Love
1 / 8
Silver
The magnetic effect looks stunning in silver thanks to the natural reflective elements of the color. A shiny topcoat adds even more shimmer and creates a manicure that doubles as a statement accessory.

Navy
From chrome to cat-eye, blue is one of the buzziest manicure colors of the year. A deep navy shade works well for this look because it adds depth to the cat-eye design.

Copper
The brown chrome manicure is still going strong. However, if you're searching for a bolder look, a copper cat-eye may do the trick. It's just as warm and fitting for the colder months.
