Soft, glowy, and out-of-this-world, the velvet nail trend is back and better than ever. If you’re ready to create the cosmic cat-eye look taking over IG, our new Astral Gel Collection is your ticket to galaxy-grade glam.

 

What Is Velvet Cat Eye, Exactly?

Unlike traditional cat-eye polishes, our Velvet Cat Eye Gels use ultra-fine, silver-white magnetic particles suspended in a sheer color base. The result? A uniquely soft, multi-dimensional effect that feels more like crushed velvet than a hard line. With a quick flick of a magnet wand, you can shape, swirl, and manipulate the particles to create everything from floating halos to stardust gradients.

BONUS: The medium viscosity makes it perfect for color mixing, layering, and dreamy nail art.

 

Get the Look:

We’re obsessed with this mood ring-inspired set by @heluviee on Instagram, featuring our shade “The World”—a dazzling green with a velvet glow that shifts like northern lights. She took it to the next level with gold metallic accents and constellation-inspired details, giving us major moon goddess energy.

 

Want That Soft-Glow Finish? Here’s How to Nail It

To get the Velvet effect:

  1. Apply one thin layer of your chosen Velvet Cat Eye shade.

  2. Use your magnet wand to pull the particles into your desired pattern—or make them disappear for a "glass nail" illusion.

  3. Cure for 30 seconds under LED light.

  4. Apply a second thin layer, shape again with the wand, then cure.

  5. Seal with the Aprés Non-Wipe Top Gelcoat for a lasting cosmic shine.

 

Pro Tip: Because of the sheer base, each shade gives you flexibility to layer over base colors or mix for new dimensions.
