The collection includes two distinct formats: the classic cats eye gel nail polish and the innovative Dark Hologram Cat series with a holographic twist.

3.1 Classic Cat Eye

These are your signature cat eye gel nail polishes — delivering the iconic light-reflecting “beam” effect that shifts with the movement of the hand. Deep, pigmented colours infused with metallic magnetic shimmer create a fluid line that mimics glowing light from within the nail.

• Work seamlessly for evening wear, studio shoots, and stylish everyday looks.
  
  

• The magnetic beam remains crisp after curing — no fading or flattening.
  
  

• No nail art needed — the polish creates a high-impact, premium finish on its own.

If you're seeking the best cat eye gel polish for consistent salon use, this range delivers performance you can rely on — not just on paper, but client after client.

3.2 Holographic Cat Eye – Dark Hologram Cat

This is the next evolution of cat eye magnetic gel polish. The Dark Hologram Cat line introduces a new formula: semi-sheer texture, richly coloured pigment, and finely milled holographic particles that reflect multidimensional light. You’ll see a soft rainbow shimmer that catches the eye — even without a torch or studio light.

This is a halo cat eye gel polish that combines visual artistry with daily salon practicality. A true go-to for nail techs wanting impact without compromise.

5. How to Apply DARK BY RIOR Cat Eye Gel Polish

Application of cat eye gel polish UK style is quick, intuitive and doesn’t require specialist tools. Each formula is designed for ease, precision and predictability — a dream for both salon veterans and newly trained techs.

Step 1: Prep your base.
Choose a base layer depending on the effect you want to achieve — clear, nude or coloured. A milky base softens the beam for a delicate look, while black intensifies the contrast for dramatic definition.

Step 2: Apply a thin layer of your chosen Cat Eye gel.
Whether you’re using a professional cat eye gel polish or a holographic variant, DARK BY RIOR's formula doesn’t flood the nail plate or run into the cuticle. Even fine work under the cuticle is easy and controlled.

Step 3: Activate the magnetic beam.
Before curing, hover a magnet over the wet polish to direct the light-reflecting beam. In the classic version, you’ll see a crisp reflective stripe; with holographic gels, you’ll get a multi-dimensional rainbow shimmer.

Step 4: Cure.
Cure for 60 seconds under UV or LED. Even under lower-wattage lamps, the polish cures evenly without bubbling or heat spikes — perfect for clients with sensitive nails.

Step 5: Finish with a top coat.

• Use a shiny top coat to enhance the depth and clarity of the effect.
  
  

• Go for a matte topcoat to mute the gleam and create a soft, fluttery shimmer with a fashion-forward feel.
  
  

Pro Tip: For a glass-like holographic beam, skip the base coat and apply one ultra-thin layer of Dark Hologram Cat. The result is a transparent stained-glass effect with a mesmerising floating highlight — ideal for editorial sets or high-end minimal nail art.
