Cat eye and chrome finishes are already popular, and both create mesmerizing, dimensional manicures. In 2024, many people will opt to combine the two, applying a layer of the magnetic cat eye gel polish under a sheer chrome pigment, believes celebrity nail artist Julie Kandalec. “This really can only be done with gel, so be sure to ask your nail artist to first apply a neutral magnetic cat eye gel (silver is best), use the magnet to move the particles into the shape you want, and cure,” she says. “Then, between layers of non-wipe top coat, apply your sheer unicorn chrome pigment.”
