DC 9D Cat Eye Gel Unicorn #18 – Hypnotic Gem Twist. When your salon demands a showstopper, this shimmering gel delivers in dazzling dimensions. The DC 9D Cat Eye Gel Unicorn #18 in "Gem Twist" is a pro favorite for a reason—its unique magnetic formula unleashes an iridescent storm of glittering, holographic color that clients can’t stop staring at. With just a flick of a magnet, this gel transforms into a deep, multidimensional sparkle with that elusive “cat eye” curve that shifts with every movement.
This isn’t just another glitter polish—it’s a service upgrade. Built for professionals, this gel combines precision performance with cutting-edge visual appeal. Whether you’re enhancing a gel manicure with high-drama sparkle or offering a signature Cat Eye service that keeps your calendar booked, Gem Twist adds that coveted twist of luxury.
Designed for Salon Precision
The 9D effect isn't just hype—it’s science. The formula is densely packed with ultra-reflective, multi-tonal magnetic particles that respond instantly to a magnet before curing. These pigments create the illusion of depth, movement, and light play that simply can’t be achieved with standard glitter or shimmer gels.
- Professional-grade viscosity means no running or pooling—perfect for nail techs working with precision.
- Works beautifully over a solid gel base or directly on natural nail enhancements.
- Apply one coat for a sheer sparkle or layer for full cosmic saturation.
- Pairs seamlessly with all DC gel base and top coats for ultimate durability.
- Recommended to cure one nail at a time to lock in the magnetic wave at peak effect.
A Service That Sells Itself
Clients don’t just want a manicure—they want a visual experience. With "Gem Twist," you’re offering an add-on service that feels custom, luxurious, and endlessly Instagrammable. Whether you upsell it as a standalone look or incorporate it into full-set nail art, this is a gel polish that commands attention.
Let it gleam solo or layer it over a darker base for a glass-like galaxy effect. The micro-shimmer glows softly in ambient light and flares into fire under LEDs, making it the perfect choice for photoshoots, weddings, special events—or just because your client wants to feel like a space-age goddess.
Application Guidance for Pros
This is where your expertise shines. Prep your client’s nails as usual, apply your base gel, and then lay down a smooth coat of DC 9D Cat Eye Gel. Before curing, hover the magnet above the surface—don't touch!—and watch the cat eye ripple to life. Cure under LED/UV immediately to freeze the effect. Add a second coat if desired, then finish with your favorite gel top coat for sealed shine and longevity.
- Use with a quality magnet (sold separately) to create the dramatic cat eye pattern.
- Works best when applied in thin layers to prevent uneven curing and chipping.
- Recommended cure time: LED lamp (60 seconds), UV lamp (2 minutes).
Ideal for Retail or Backbar
Not only is this polish a winner in service, but it's also perfect for resale. Clients who experience the mesmerizing results in-salon will want to bring the magic home. Offer it in your retail display for DIY-savvy shoppers who want the salon look on their own terms—with clear instructions and the right magnetic tool, they can recreate the look at home between appointments.
