Nails Of The Day: Ciate Mini Caviar Mani (Frost Yourself and Ferris Wheel

I recently picked up this months Marie Claire which came with a set of Ciat'e Caviar Nails. I have previously used other nail caviar's/ pearls but this is my first time trying the Ciat'e version. The set contains a gorgeous pastel candy coloured pale blue named "Ferris Wheel" and "Frost Yourself" which is a mixture of blue, silver and pearlescent beads.

The consistency of Ferris Wheel was quite thick and gloopy, i think the bottle may have been a dud as i have never had any Ciat'e polishes like this before. The consistency made it quite difficult to get a really smooth looking nail, i think i just about managed it. Texture aside, i absolutely adore the colour, it is just perfect for a spring/summer pastel look. A then applied the beads to a wet nail as instructed. Warning this can get pretty messy, i used a small tray to catch the beads and they still ended up everywhere. I added a topcoat to preserve the beads a little longer which ended disastrously, the blue beads bled colour and my whole nail ended up an inky dark blue. 

I'm happy with the finished look, i really can't get enough of that Ferris Wheel blue though, just beautiful. A couple of handy tips are to use a thin layer of beads as they look best and stick better, also pat down the beads as they are drying to get them to stick well. 

I couldn't finish this post without talking about the new Dior Addict It Collection featured in this months Marie Claire. Dior have created a range of high impact coloured mascaras and liners (exactly what i have been craving lately), the pink liner is absolutely stunning. It retails for £24.50 which is a little steep but i think this is one that will be worth my money.
