Last month I blogged about Ciaté’s caviar manicure, which
you can read about here. On
the back of the box were a number of suggestions of ways you could experiment
using the kit, so last week I went slightly creative and the result was this:
I used 17 Nails Xtra nail
recovery as a base coat (which doesn’t seem to be on the Boots website
anymore), before using Barry M’s shocking
pink shade. I got this nail polish free when I bought my sleep-in rollers –
great purchase! I used two coats of the pink, because I always think one coat
of Barry M nail polish is too thin and looks too opaque. Once dried, I added a
third coat to my ring finger on each hand and while wet poured on the caviar,
just following the instructions on the box. Once left to dry for 20 minutes or
so, I added a top coat to ensure the pearls would stay in place.
Barry M in 272 Shocking Pink: £2.99 ~ 17 Nail Xtras strengthening base coat: £3.99
~ Ciaté caviar manicure in Mother of Pearl: £18.00
Again, I think the results look better the day after
applying:
It lasted a lot better than my last attempt, I think that’s
because I only did two fingers and had a lot more time to fully concentrate. I
did my nails on Friday morning and the caviar lasted until Monday night.
Next time I want to try something a little bit more
adventurous.

I wish I had the patience to give things like this a try but just the thought of the mess sets my teeth on edge! x
ReplyDeleteI don't think I could do my whole hand again - not got the patience. Doing a couple of nails wasn't too messy though! And I hate mess :) x
