How to use it
Hold. Count to eight. Then cure.
The pattern is magnetic pigment — it stays where the field leaves it, until the lamp locks it.
Apply — don't cure
One coat of cat-eye gel. Keep it wet.
Hold, 1 cm above
5–8 seconds. Pull away slowly, don't lift.
Cure straight away
30–60s under LED locks the line in place.
One nail at a time. Left wet, the pigment drifts and the line turns into a smudge.
Works with
Buy the pen. Add the gel.
These five tools are built for magnetic gel — one-step or three-step, they work the same. Most people buy the pen alone, put the gels next to it so she doesn't have to search.
Common questions
Five things people ask before buying a magnet pen.
Will it work with cat-eye gel from other brands?
Yes. The pen is a magnet, not a formula — any magnetic gel responds to it, ours or anyone else's.
Does the magnet lose strength over time?
No. These are neodymium magnets — they don't fade with use. Keep them away from heat above 80°C and they'll outlast the pen.
How is this different from the magnet in the set?
The set magnet is a single cylinder for one look. This kit adds a flower tip and a wide wand, so you can do dots, velvet and silk from the same pen.
How fast does it ship?
Orders placed before 2 pm ET go out the same day. US delivery is typically 2–4 business days, free over $50.
What if it doesn't work for me?
Send it back within 30 days, used or not. We refund the product, no questions — you keep the tips.
One-step or three-step?
One-step or three-step? Thirty seconds to decide.
Both are ours. One-step is one bottle, one coat, ten minutes a hand — done tonight. Three-step adds a base and a top coat: forty minutes, up to two months. Salon is neither. Ninety minutes, $70.
