01:14Wait, let me see.
01:14Oh my god!
01:16Oh my gosh!
01:17Oh my gosh!
01:17That's like your rings.
01:18I can tell that you're taken from.
01:20That's exactly what I want.
01:22Like I'm wrong.
01:23I could be looking at her from another state and be like, oh she's taken.
01:25I'm like, oh we know.
01:26We know.
01:26I see it.
01:27While we were on tour, I was like fitting different rings.
01:30And there's like a store.
01:31You were fitting them?
01:32You were fitting?
01:32I like trying them on.
01:34I did it all the time.
01:35Really?
01:35When I go out in the mall, I literally do that.
01:37I just like look at different rings.
01:37On my off days, I go to the mall and try on wedding rings.
01:39Yeah, like engagement rings.
01:41Why not?
01:41Engagement rings.
01:42It's so fun.
01:43Period.
01:44I would get like a tattoo of band.
01:46Of a wedding ring?
01:47No, no.
01:47Of like a band on my ring finger.
01:49That's cute.
01:50That's cute.
01:51I'm Juan Alvear and I will be making nails today for Allure's cover shoot featuring Cat's Eye.
01:57So we have five different girls with their own personalities, but also the shoot itself is polka dot themed.
02:06I went to school for painting and sculpture in New York.
02:09I was making paintings using nail polish.
02:12I was also making jewelry and started experimenting with making like the jewelry that would fit on the nail.
02:19Well, magazines started hitting me up to do editorials because they hadn't really seen like surrealist nail art being done.
02:28Is it a coincidence that you have polka dots on you?
02:30When I found out it was like a polka dot theme shoot, I thought I should make my nails polka
02:34dot.
02:34So, yeah.
02:35I like to make different options.
02:37I like to just kind of go for it and see what's working.
02:41And then when I show up, give the person that I'm working with multiple options.
02:46Okay.
02:48So I think that's all of them.
02:49The menu for the girls is done.
02:51I'll show them their options and see which nail suits each one of them the best.
02:57You just have to giggle.
02:58She's been giggling.
02:59How's it going over here?
03:00Good.
03:01Cute.
03:02All kind of like polka dot inspired.
03:04Is there any that kind of like speak to you?
03:06Um, I'm loving this one.
03:08I'm into it.
03:09Yeah.
03:09Okay, cool.
03:10Okay, cool.
03:10We'll go with this.
03:11Yay, I'm excited.
03:13Hey.
03:14Okay.
03:15So, for the shoot, we have some options.
03:18So I also like that one too.
03:20I like that one.
03:20Okay, sweet.
03:22But they're all cute.
03:23I love them all.
03:24Hey.
03:25What is speaking to you?
03:27I love all of them.
03:29But I like this.
03:31Yeah?
03:31I think this one suits you.
03:32Yes.
03:33I love it.
03:34Thanks.
03:35Is it my turn?
03:36Yeah, it is.
03:37Because you can just kind of sit with it and think about what you like.
03:42I'm going to have to do this because it's pinky up arrow.
03:44That's very much you.
03:44This is very me.
03:46That's very me.
03:46I'm not looking at anything else.
03:48I looked at it and I was like, that's so funny.
03:49Wait, let me see.
03:50Let me see.
03:51Yeah, I would pick that one for you.
03:53Pretty pink.
03:54I think majority room.
03:55I saw that and I was like that.
03:56Sofia, yeah.
03:57That's mine.
04:00What do you think?
04:01I think...
04:02Yeah.
04:03This one.
04:04The pink one I'm so obsessed with.
04:05This is you.
04:06Me and Laura chose the same nails.
04:08We always choose.
04:09Same thing.
04:09We always choose the same thing.
04:10Our nails are our literal personalities.
04:13Meghan and then Yunche.
04:14Like it makes sense.
04:15It makes so much sense.
04:16Okay.
04:17Here you go.
04:18Yeah.
04:18Am I allowed to read those magazines?
04:20These?
04:22Wow.
04:22There's also Kim.
04:23Wait, can I do the camera?
04:25I was watching the Kardashians last night.
04:28My models of the year.
04:29Oh, yes.
04:30Look at these girls.
04:31So iconic, those two.
04:33Wait, Selena looks so hot in that.
04:35I know.
04:36I was just watching Wizards.
04:37Wait, can I see?
04:38I can't see.
04:39She looks gorgeous.
04:39Oh, she looks pretty.
04:41Selena.
04:46What's your favorite Kylie song?
04:48I feel like it would be Pinky Up.
04:50Oh, really?
04:51Yeah.
04:51I think that's my favorite one.
04:52Yeah, I was going to say.
04:55Dance is really cute.
04:56And I also thought it would be like a cute salon name.
04:59Pinky Up.
05:00Pinky Up.
05:00Pinky Up.
05:01Wait, that's so true.
05:03I feel like sound-wise, I really like Gnarly.
05:05What's your favorite one?
05:06It's not out yet.
05:07It's not out yet?
05:08Oh.
05:09What's your favorite Katzai song?
05:11Let's choose one that's out.
05:12M.I.A.
05:13I'd say mine's, yeah, either M.I.A.
05:16I actually really like Pinky Up.
05:19What else?
05:20If I were to choose one that's already out, I would say Game Boy.
05:22Oh, yeah.
05:23I like Game Boy.
05:23I love Game Boy.
05:24And I love Touch.
05:25I love Touch and Game Boy.
05:26I remember when I first heard Game Boy, I was like, yes!
05:28Like, this has to be, like, on, like, the EP.
05:31And, like, I was obsessed with it.
05:32So, that's probably top of mine.
05:35It's very catchy.
05:35And I love the choreo.
05:36Do you think Pinky Up is better?
05:38Or...
05:38We Ride.
05:39We Ride.
05:40We Ride.
05:41Yeah, I agree with you.
05:42We Ride.
05:43It's just all about taste, I think.
05:45I want to sing.
05:49Like, when was the last time you were in an actual nail salon?
05:53Hmm.
05:55Low-key?
05:55Probably, like, two months ago.
05:57Two months ago?
05:58Okay, that's not that long ago.
05:59No, because I just, like, peeled them off myself.
06:03Oh, yeah.
06:03How do you do that?
06:04I thought you might have.
06:06That's why they look a little bit crazy.
06:08Oh, sis.
06:08Yeah, probably, like, two months ago.
06:10She goes to that.
06:10I've never been recognized.
06:12Nah.
06:12Actually, one time...
06:13No, no.
06:14One time...
06:14We got filmed.
06:15We got filmed.
06:16Yeah.
06:17We were at the salon, and somebody's child posted it on TikTok.
06:21Yeah.
06:22It was kind of crazy.
06:23We had it taken down, because I was like, you can't do that.
06:26Also, CCTV footage, it's like, with audio of what we're seeing.
06:29Yeah, it was with audio.
06:31Yeah, we were, like, illegal.
06:32I was wearing the worst outfit ever.
06:34One time, I went into a nail salon, and I was like, why is everyone coming up to me, like...
06:37And I had no makeup on, and I was like, oh my god, like, it's so bad.
06:40I got home, and I looked in the mirror, and I was wearing a cat-sized shirt, like...
06:43Oh, my face.
06:44Well, there you go.
06:46I was like, oh my god.
06:47We wear our own merch a little too much.
06:49I wear it all the time.
06:50Guys, imagine pulling up like this to the actual nail salon.
06:53That would be so cunt.
06:55That would be so cunt.
06:56Let's put them on all the way, huh?
06:58Wait, what are they?
06:58These are collagen gloves.
07:00Oh, can I have collagen gloves?
07:01So these are just going to moisturize the hands after the dry manicure.
07:02Wait, what?
07:03Can I get the brand?
07:05Collagen gloves?
07:06That's awesome.
07:07I got some moisturizing gloves.
07:08It's a little extra treatment, yeah.
07:09Yeah, you guys don't get this because...
07:10She paid extra for it.
07:11No, but you know your hands are the ones that are going to reveal the aging and all that stuff.
07:16That's true.
07:16Especially because how much we put into UVLand.
07:18Every night I do like hand serum, hand cream before I sleep, and cuticle oil.
07:35You're a dancer, come on!
07:36Can't do it!
07:38What is the highlight of your year so far?
07:41The highlight of this year has just been like...
07:45I feel like going to cities and like countries that we haven't been before.
07:49Like we got to do a whole Latin America tour for Lollapalooza.
07:52We also got to go to Coachella.
07:55Being able to play Coachella was like absolutely like insane.
07:58It was like one of our like goals that we really wanted to achieve as Cat's Eye.
08:02So being able to do it so early was so insane.
08:06Grammys was really cool.
08:08There's so many that I can't really choose.
08:09When we got to do that Lollapalooza festival tour, and the crowd of a festival and the crowd of our
08:15own concert is so different.
08:16Yeah.
08:17At a festival, it's a mix of people that don't know us, people that know us but have never seen
08:21us.
08:22Also like we got to like go and see other artists.
08:24Yes.
08:24It was so nice.
08:26It was as if we were touring with other artists.
08:29Yeah, exactly.
08:30It's so cool.
08:31It was so inspiring.
08:32And also I feel like we made an effort to like go out into the city.
08:37Yes.
08:37That we were in and like with the little time we had like we tried to also like live.
08:42Even the Grammys.
08:44Like not just the Grammys event itself but Grammy week.
08:47Yeah, that was so cool.
08:48There were so many of the same artists that were with us throughout that entire week.
08:52Like every single event we went to, every single party.
08:54Like we had the same crowd with us going through the same thing.
08:57So it was really cool.
09:02I think we're all kind of like our zodiac signs.
09:05Yeah.
09:05There's no one like that doesn't really like fit their zodiac signs.
09:09I think Lara's the best to speak on this though.
09:11Yeah, everyone is very much like their sign and also like their entire charts make sense.
09:18She knows my whole chart.
09:19Every time people ask me like what's my big three, I like we'll call Lara.
09:22Yes, and then we have the same moon.
09:24We're both Sagittarius moon.
09:25What does the moon mean again?
09:25Is it like how you think?
09:27Yeah, just like what you are inside and then you're rising is how you present yourself.
09:31I see.
09:33Sophia Scorpia.
09:34So I present myself like you?
09:36You present yourself in like a very like…
09:39I'm Lara Raj.
09:40I say like a very like elegant, very like mysterious kind of but like demeanor.
09:49Sagittarius is really fun, crazy like and like you have that to you as well.
09:53Oh my gosh.
09:54I'm so Yunche Lara right now.
09:55Like it makes sense.
09:57Anyways.
09:59Why'd you laugh?
10:00I laughed.
10:02You had a really big laugh.
10:07You had a really big laugh.
10:09For the first time?
10:11Wait.
10:12Wait, I can say…
10:13Wait, what is it?
10:14Do you think I can say it?
10:14What is it?
10:15No, not here.
10:16Why?
10:16Because I…
10:18I'm Korean.
10:19I did it in Korea.
10:20I think just now because…
10:22Right.
10:22Wait, say what?
10:23No, no, no, no, no.
10:24Just…
10:24Because it's a big thing in Korea.
10:26But it's like…
10:26I don't want to say it.
10:27Was it your first time?
10:28Let's be honest.
10:29Anyways.
10:30Next.
10:30Okay, next.
10:32For the first time.

11:14But now I…
11:15But this is…
11:16Grew it.
11:16This is good.
11:17This is good.
11:18Like I would wake up in the morning…

11:25Yeah, that's how it feels.
11:27I couldn't get used to it.

15:19Wow.
15:24What's your favorite way to relax?
15:25Do you like to go on hiking or anything?
15:28She does not hike.
15:29I go all the time.
15:31Megan does not go on no hikes.
15:33Okay.
15:34But we always try to plan one.
15:36We always plan when it falls through.
15:37It never happens.
15:38Actually there was one time that you went on a hike and I didn't go.
15:42She got mad.
15:43And I got mad.
15:46But I don't hike.
15:47I kind of just like hang out outside and like, not like outside, like just outside,
15:53but like in my backyard or like by the pool or go to the beach.
15:57Like, I don't really like going to like really busy places.
16:00Like, I feel like it's like a lot sometimes.
16:03So I like try to go in nature or just hang out.
16:06Like even at home.
16:08I'm like such a homebody.
16:09But then there's sometimes I like to go and party.
16:11Like, I'm like a very, like, I have two sides to me.
16:14So I'm like either like out or I'm just hanging at home.
16:17I think that's it.
16:18Just like the piercing.
16:20How often do you take time for self-care?
16:24I should take more time for it.
16:26But I do journal a lot every night and every morning I journal.
16:32So I feel like maybe that's kind of my form of self-care.
16:34And I love eating.
16:35Eating makes me really happy.
16:37You journal?
16:38I journal twice a day.
16:40Have you not seen me with my journal every day?
16:41She's kind of inspired me to start journaling.
16:43I've seen her do it all the time.
16:44I journal like everything.
16:46I've always wanted to journal, but I always fail.
16:49But I'm saying like when I force myself to do it, it's not like rest because I'm like stressed.
16:55I need to become better.
16:57Get it on your tour record.
17:00We have a lot of candy, a lot of chips, drinks, energy drinks, coffee, microwave.
17:08Because I always bring factors.
17:11That's a good one.
17:11That's a good one.
17:11Packaged meals.
17:12Fridge.
17:13To put my packaged meal.
17:15Salt and vinegar snack.
17:17Maybe on the table.
17:17Oh, that's you?
17:18Yeah, that's me.
17:19That's why we always have a salt and vinegar snack.
17:22Yeah.
17:22I always like look at the chip and I'm like, oh, it's salt and vinegar again.
17:25You don't like salt and vinegar?
17:26It burns my tongue.
17:27I have like a cutting board, ginger, specific candles.
17:31I just have throat coat.
17:32I put throat coat, manuka honey, a speaker, tissues, cause swabs, toothpaste, floss, toothbrush,
17:41massage gun, roller, a lavender oil.
17:45She has all that.
17:46I have everything.
17:47That's why I like, for example, I like put specific things in my rider and then I see Danny stinking
17:51in her bag.
17:52I was like, that's mine.
17:53Actually, false.
17:54Don't accuse me of something.
17:55No, you did.
17:56You put my little candle.
17:57It was my specific candle.
17:57Because I thought it was mine.
17:59Because me and her, we both put dip tiki.
18:02No, but the specific scent.
18:03That's why I knew it was mine.
18:05Cause it was.
18:06Well, anyways, I put candles too.
18:08You did?
18:09Yeah, I put candles.
18:10I put candles.

18:28Peanut butter chocolate covered cups.
18:29Headphones.
18:30Cause for some reason, I don't know.
18:32I just really like them.
18:33I say Reese's.
18:34I know that's wrong.
18:35Why Reese's?
18:36Because I grew up saying it like that.
18:38But it's apostrophe S, isn't it?
18:40I know, but I acknowledge that it's wrong and I think that's what matters.
18:44But I say Reese's because I've always said it like that.
18:47You say Reese's?
18:48Yeah, cause I've always said it like that.
18:50You freak Reese's?
18:51No, but.
18:51Because isn't it made by someone named Reese, so it's like Reese's.
18:56Yeah, cause it's an apostrophe S.
18:58It's Reese's.
18:59It's Reese's.
18:59It's Reese's.
18:59It's an apostrophe S.
19:00Guys, I know it's wrong.
19:02I know that.
19:03Okay?
19:04I took accountability, but I've said it since I was like five.
19:07Okay.
19:08So I will forever say it like that.
19:10Alright, alright.
