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:
-
Apply one thin layer of your chosen Velvet Cat Eye shade.
-
Use your magnet wand to pull the particles into your desired pattern—or make them disappear for a "glass nail" illusion.
-
Cure for 30 seconds under LED light.
-
Apply a second thin layer, shape again with the wand, then cure.
-
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.
