Caviar Nails

I had been wanting to try Ciate nail polishes for ages, every time I walk past Kit Cosmetics I lust over them so much. So yesterday I was walking through Myer, spending to much in Mac and walked past this, and in a moment of weakness bought it. It cost $36 (AUS) which I thought was fairly reasonable considering single nail polishes are $20 each. 

This is a limited edition one, although I think all the caviar nails might be limited edition, and the caviar pearls are called tutti fruitti and the pale pink nail polish it comes with it called hoopla. And it comes with a little funnel to tip the pearls back bottle when they go everywhere so you don't waste any, Thanks Ciate!

Hoopla and Tutti Fruitti 

To do these nails, you put a coat of nail polish on and then one nail at a time put another coat of polish on and tip the beads onto the nail and press them on so they stay on better. 

I love the look and feel of these when you first put them on because it's such a novelty to have tiny beads on your nails. However, maybe it was just how I applied them, they started falling off an hour later, but that may have been because I was immersed in the State of Origin and not really concentrating, and also I have a shower 45 minutes after I applied them, Whoops. I think next time I put them on I might do the nails one at a time because I completely blanked and did a couple at a time, which probably didn't help. The one thing I didn't mind about them falling off is that they left a colourful indent in my nails, which is cool and at least they don't just fall off and leave no trace of the pearls on the nails.

  

I do love these nails, I think they are super fun, but I do think they are only really for special occasions when you won't be using you hands a lot. Having said that, if I applied them better they would last longer. I also love the packaging on the nail polishes, the bows and the shape of the pot are really unique. Overall, these pearls are super fun to play around with and I think they look really cool and put a new twist on painting your nails. 

Have you guys tried the nail pearls? How did they work out for you?
