Cat-eye nails are taking over Instagram once more. The popular manicure trend was big in the early s, but it's making a comeback. If you're baffled by its resurgence, we don't blame you. The process for how to do cat-eye nails can seem intensive and involves some unique nail tools, such as metallic polish and a magnet. Still, the results are stunning. The effects usually resemble the distinctive finish of a cat's eye with a line running down the center of the nail and the final result is a cross between a shimmer and soft velvet, creating a very eye-catching manicure.

Jenna Dewan, Sydney Sweeney, and Ashley Tisdale are some of the many celebrities who have been spotted in this manicure, further proving its popularity. Cat-eye nail designs come in all manner of colors: black, red, pink, purple, green, blue &#; the list goes on and on. Most nail salons should be able to give you a cat-eye design on your nails if you request it and show them a reference photo, but it's also possible to do at home.
Step 1 &#; Paint the Base of Your Nails: First, you'll want to give yourself a basic manicure (cut, file, and buff your nails into the desired shape). To make the manicure look even more feline, you can file them into a thin almond shape to resemble claws. Then, paint your fingers with the color of your choice.
Step 2 &#; Apply Your Magnetic Cat-Eye Polish: Next, you'll need a special cat-eye nail polish designed specifically for this trend. It contains metallic pigments that are moved around with a magnet to create the unique finish. Some of these polishes contain color, eliminating your need for a base, while others are more of a topcoat.

Step 4 &#; Apply a Topcoat: Once you've achieved your cat-eye pattern, seal in the polish with a topcoat. And you're finished.
