2 Artistic Nail Design

The new Astrobomb Cat Eye Gel Polish collection is a limited-edition release featuring two duo-chromatic shades – green-toned UF-Ooh! and shimmering purple Cat-astro-fee. These magnetic gel polishes each come with a complimentary double-sided magnet, used to create a colour-shifting, reflective cat-eye effect. Techs can apply a single layer of Astrobomb over their chosen gel colour (dark base shades work well for impact), then magnetise to create a design, and cure to lock in the look.
