A cat-eye sample can look convincing in a photograph. For a buying decision, give your team a way to compare the effect in motion.
Before requesting magnetic pigment samples, define the visual result your next collection needs: a narrow highlight, a softer luminous band, or an effect that becomes the focal point as the nail moves.
Turn that reference into a short evaluation brief.
Choose representative base shades from your planned range. For each candidate, record the formulation, pigment addition level, application thickness, magnet used, positioning, timing and curing procedure. Follow the guidance for the system being evaluated.
Then review three questions:
- Definition: Does the highlight have the shape and clarity your concept requires?
- Movement: How does the appearance change as the finished tip turns under consistent lighting?
- Repeatability: Can different team members achieve a comparable result using the documented method?
Keep a labelled physical tip and a short video together. This gives purchasing, formulation and marketing teams a shared reference when discussing sample feedback.
Evaluate suitability in your actual formulation, magnetic application process and top-coat system before selecting a pigment. Set further testing around the requirements of your finished product.
At Yiwu Bojun Pigment, I help nail brands turn a desired visual effect into a focused pigment-sampling brief.
For your next cat-eye collection, would you start with a defined line or a softer glow?
