It seems that Ciaté's release of their Caviar manicure got us all itching for our nails to look like Nobbly Bobbly's as the kits sold out very quickly & I couldn't seem to get a hold of one, which meant with me being me ie. the least patient person in the world a DIY job was my only option, so I thought I'd share the results with you.
You Will Need: Some sort of mixing dish Base Coat - Dr Lewinn's Renunail Nail Polish - Essie Lilacism Top Coat - Jessica Top Priority Micro Beads - Ebay |
(I love the word vestibule so used it here!) I used equal parts of each shade but you can tailor it to however you want |
I found leaving the polish to dry for a few seconds helped the look, dip firmly into the beads & really push your nails into them. |
I left all the excess beads on the nails & pushed the beads into the polish to help adhere them together |
I then removed the excess & gently painted a top coat over the nails. |
Has anyone tried the Ciaté manicure yet? Will you be attempting my DIY version?
I've done the same as you and bought some Ebay ones, I had a little play this afternoon. Agree though it's not something I could wear all the time. Liking the colours you bought :-)
ReplyDeleteLooks lovely, although I would probably only do one finger rather than the whole set.
ReplyDelete(Also I'm not sure if your Ebay link is right, it goes to a Sun article about Anne Hathaway)
But you've made a great saving from the Ciaté version and it looks virtually indistinguishable.

Good colours! No way will i be spending £18 on an impractical nail art kit which I'll end up picking off before 24 hours- love your cheaper take on it (but still not sure i'll indulge £4 in it!!) xx
ReplyDeleteI love this look and I keep looking at micro beads on eBay but I really think it would annoy me if It kept catching on things. X
ReplyDeleteLove it! xx
ReplyDeleteI've never seen this look before! I really like it. Def going to try it for myself. Did the beads stay on fine?
ReplyDeleteI've just started a new blog.
