In our previous post<\/a>, we explored how to choose the right style and color for cat eye nails. Many ladies worry: As magnetic powder is added to cat eye gel, is it more prone to lifting or chipping? The answer is: Not at all!<\/strong> The durability of cat eye nails is identical to standard Soft Gel or Hard Gel. With proper daily care, maintaining them for 3 to 4 weeks is completely hassle-free.

Daily Care Tips for Long-Lasting Cat Eye Gel Nails<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Avoid Using Your Fingertips as Tools<\/strong>
    When opening cans, pressing elevator buttons, or fastening buttons, use the pads of your fingers instead of the tips. This prevents pressure on the front edges of the gel layer that could cause lifting.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Apply Cuticle Oil Regularly<\/strong>
    Dryness around the cuticles can easily lead to gel lifting and hangnails. Applying cuticle oil (such as O.P.I’s dedicated cuticle serum) every night before bed keeps the surrounding skin soft and hydrated, extending the life of your gel manicure.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Never Peel, Scratch, or Forcefully Remove the Gel<\/strong>
    If you notice slight lifting on your cat eye gel, return to the salon to have it removed by a professional nail technician. Forcing or peeling gel off yourself strips the keratin layer of your natural nails, causing them to become thin, brittle, and prone to breakage. For proper removal concepts, check out our guide: Why You Should Never Peel Off Your Gel Nails Yourself<\/em>.
