Milky Pink magnetic gel drawn into a single Milk Bath streak of light, angled slightly differently on each nail.
3 bottles: Milky Pink, Milk Bath and Dusty Berry. Milky Pink and Milk Bath are close in tone, so the design is tonal rather than graphic. It shows up in daylight and softens indoors. The bottles are not all the same finish (sheer and crème), so the pattern picks up light differently from the ground.
The squoval shape means straight sidewalls and a soft tip: anything built on a grid or a straight line sits truest here.

How to paint Ballet Pink Cat Eye nails
- 1 Buff, dehydrate and base coat, then cure. Three sheer coats of Milky Pink — it is translucent, so it builds rather than covers.
- 2 Apply Milky Pink magnetic gel and hold the magnet at an angle for eight seconds to draw the Milk Bath band out.
- 3 Seal with a no-wipe top coat; wiping the tacky layer kills the effect.
Questions about Ballet Pink Cat Eye
Is Ballet Pink Cat Eye hard to do at home?
Yes, with a steady hand. The motif is freehand, so the first nail is usually the worst one. Budget around 45 minutes for a full set, and three colours means three chances for something to bleed, so cure between each one rather than working wet on wet.
What polish do I need for Ballet Pink Cat Eye?
3 bottles: Milky Pink (sheer), Milk Bath (sheer) and Dusty Berry (crème). Plus a base coat and a gloss top coat, which every design here assumes you already have.
Does Ballet Pink Cat Eye work on short nails?
A squoval works short: you lose canvas width rather than length, so the motif just sits closer together.
How many coats does Ballet Pink Cat Eye need?
More than you would expect. Milky Pink and Milk Bath are translucent, so the colour builds over three thin coats rather than covering in two. Stop wherever you like the depth — that is the point of a sheer.
