Gelish Soak-Off Gel Polish Aurora Cat Eye / Landing on Mars
Gelish Aurora Cat Eye Magnet Gel — Landing on Mars. Make every set look cinematic with a shade that seems to move under salon lights. Landing on Mars transforms a simple gel service into dimensional, premium nail art in seconds. Once you hover the magnet, the color ignites into an aurora-like swirl—an “orange orbit” that ripples across a galaxy backdrop. It’s drama your clients can feel the moment you demo it, and a fast, reliable upsell for pros who need artistry on a tight schedule. This hybrid formula blends magnetic cat-eye pigments with Gelish’s Flash Glam glitter base, so you get a sleek, shift-in-the-light band and a sparkling, interstellar finish from one bottle.
Why pros reach for Landing on Mars
The Aurora Cat Eye series is built for show-stopping results without complicated steps. The magnet-activated pigments create the signature cat-eye line, while the glitter base adds depth that reads beautifully in photos and real life. The effect is a glitterized galaxy that sets instantly once you cure—perfect for accent nails, velvet cat-eye looks, or full cosmic sets that command attention.
Beyond the wow factor, it performs like a workhorse gel. When used as directed within the Gelish system, Aurora Cat Eye offers up to 21 days of chip-resistant wear, LED-cures to a high-gloss finish, and arrives with the magnet tool in the box—no extra purchase required. The formula is vegan and cruelty-free, giving you an easy values-based talking point at the chair and at the front desk.
Shade story: a cosmic orange swirl
Landing on Mars leans warm and moody—think ember-lit space dust with a rich, planetary glow. The magnet pulls a luminous ribbon through the base to create movement, from a sharp diagonal beam to a soft, velvet aura depending on how you position the tool. The result is a statement shade that flatters every skin tone and pairs with neutrals, charcoals, or deep burgundy accents for autumn and holiday menus.
Pro application blueprint (time-saving and repeatable)
- Prep and apply your preferred Gelish base; cure per system directions. For maximum contrast, many pros choose a dark base color before the cat-eye coat.
- Apply a thin coat of Landing on Mars. Do not cure yet. Hover the included magnet 2–5 mm above the nail to shape the line or “glow,” then cure.
- Repeat with a second thin coat for added depth; magnetize again and cure. Seal with a Gelish top coat and final cure for glassy, long wear.
Velvet cat-eye tip: For that plush, fabric-like sheen, hover the magnet briefly from each side toward the center before curing to push particles inward and create the soft-focus effect.
Service menu ideas & retail positioning
Show the magnet magic during consultation and the upgrade sells itself. Build quick add-ons like “Galaxy Accent” (two magnetized nails per hand), “Velvet Cat-Eye Full Set,” or a layered look over a tonal or dark base. Because the magnet is included in every box, it’s easy to set up a tester at the station and retail a bottle to lamp-savvy clients who already use pro systems at home. The long-wear, LED-cured performance and vegan/cruelty-free stance are easy wins for discerning guests.
Benefits your clients feel immediately
From first pass to final cure, Landing on Mars is engineered for speed and consistency. The magnetized particles respond instantly, so you can create precise lines or soft auras without fiddly tools or extra layers. LED curing locks in a glossy, durable finish, minimizing post-service adjustments and early chip fixes. Build the effect thin for chic minimalism or intensify the glow with a second coat—the formula is versatile enough for subtle or high-impact looks within the same appointment window.
Key features at a glance
- Hybrid innovation: cat-eye magnetic pigments fused with Flash Glam glitter for a “moving” galaxy effect from one bottle.

- Pro reliability: up to 21 days of chip-resistant wear; LED-cured glossy finish.

Troubleshooting & pro tips
- Keep coats thin so the magnet can move particles cleanly; thicker layers can blur definition before curing.
- Stabilize your magnet hand. Any movement while the gel is wet will soften the line—perfect if you’re aiming for velvet, not ideal for a crisp beam.
- Photograph under indirect light or with a phone flash to capture the Flash Glam sparkle for social posts and menu boards.
