The Caviar manicure has been out for some time, and Ciaté has created an at home kit. Founder and Creative Director Charlotte Knight has created this 3 dimensional kit in three colors; Mother of Pearl, Black Pearls, and Rainbow. The Ciaté kit will be available at Sephora. But of course I couldn't wait!
I created my own caviar manicure with a nail polish and microbeads.
What you will need:
-Base Coat
-Nail Polish Color
-Microbeads
-Bowl
How to create the look:
-Apply your first color coat to every finger.
(The next 2 steps should be done per nail)
-Apply your second color coat to a nail.
-Hang your nail over the bowl, and pour your microbeads over the nail.
-Gently pat the beads down on the nail and try and make sure the beads are on the nails not on the edge of the nail.
(Repeat with each nail until the first hand is done)
At this point your beads should be stuck to your nail polish.
-Apply a generous amount of top coat to each nail.
-Do the same with the other hand. Once your nails have dried you can pour your excess beads in the bowl back into the beads jar.
Voilà!
Removing nail polish is tedious, removing nail polish with microbeads is insane! Or not? (Girls make sure you test a nail first and make sure the nail polish remover isn't too rough on your skin.)
What you will need:
-Aluminum foil
-Cotton balls (a piece per nail)
-Nail polish remover
-Bowl
How to remove the look:
-Pour a small amount of nail polish remover into a bowl.
-Dip your cotton balls into the bowl
-Take a piece of cotton ball from the bowl and place it over your nail.
-Hold the cotton on the nail while you wrap your entire fingertip with the foil.
-Wait about 5 minutes.
-Pull the foil from the nail while wiping down on the nail as you remove it.
Done!
I really enjoyed creating this look and the compliments were never ending. People were coming up to me and asking if they can touch them (My nails of course!)
