Red Carpet Manicure Astro Flash Hybrid Cat-Eye Gel Polish

All of the negative reviews are simply operator error. I don't even paint a black base and they still come out perfect every single time! I paint the first coat, cure for 1.5 minutes, second coat to design, then cure for another 3 minutes!

I wish i cpuld add pictures but theres no option to do so. I ordered Space Cadet "pink purple" expecting what was in the picture. What came is the obvious mic of putple and pink/red which is Magenta. It says Space Cadet but it's just straight up magenta. Which I hate. The only thing purple in it is the glitter, but its not magnetic so it just stays put. The cat eye effect really gets lost under the glitter. It also stinks incredibly bad, none of my other RCM polishes do, but this one does. I would love to return it but I already opened it, what a disappointment.

Don't know why some of the reviews were so bad here, I think it might have mainly been a lamp problem for them but mine turned out excellent! One coat over a black base is all you need and the finish is stunning under a glossy top coat just make sure to take your time curing them. Will absolutely be purchasing new shades!

I really love the red carpet manicure cat-eye polishes and I loved this one as well!! This formula is def thicker than the velvet or cosmic cat eye formula, but that seems to be more common for the reflective cat eye gels specifically. I do wish that the thicker sparkles were more magnetized like the ones from Vettsy and Born Pretty, but l still really liked the effect! I do really wish that they labeled the packaging with the shade names / acfually showed the color on a nail wirh the effect… I find that really annoying

Out of RCM's three current options for magnetic polishes, these are by far the worst. The formula is extremely thick which made it difficult to spread and several didnt even take a flash cure, fhe second coat pulled up the first and ruined it. Shockingly, the formula is also somehow too weak to hold the magnetized pattern, which is highly unusual in gel formulas. Most gels will hold the pattern until its cured, all of RCM's other magnetics hold fine, so i dont really understand how it can be too thick and not strong enough at the same time. The flash glitter is pretty, but the magnetic pigment was just so sparse and weak. I bought 5 of the six, and out of those only the blue one, Rock-et My World, was an attractive color. I never return products, even if im not in love with them, but i think these are going back.
