Fuzzy fingers : Ciate Velvet Manicure
Life has
been pretty crazy, but with summer coming to an end (sad!), I will hopefully be
able to post a little bit more. The trend of adhering objects to our nails is
still going on, and ciate has taken things to a new level with their new velvet
manicures sets. I was very curious about how this would work, so I picked up a
set when I had the time. The set I chose is the burgundy-purple set with the Cabaret polish.
The set comes with a plastic rectangular container to hold the crushed velvet
when youre sprinkling, a little black brush, crushed velvet in a shaker bottle,
and the polish itself. Cabaret is a beautiful deep purple-burgundy polish that was opaque in 2
coats. The best way to get the velvet to stick is to sprinkle it right when you
apply the 2nd coat, so you should do each finger one at a time.
Also, give it a bit of time to set before you brush off the excess with the
black brush, otherwise it streaks and pulls some of the velvet powder off.
Pros:
Very unique / texture DOES feel like velvet / easy to apply and remove
Cons:
Velvet gets worn down easily / price
Overall,
I liked this polish set and there is nothing else in my collection like this,
so I was pleased. Hope this helps you make a decision in whether you want to
purchase it or not.

Gradient Friday : Chrome
I am totally loving these chrome polishes. They are so pretty
and not that streaky at all compared to past chrome polishes. I used 3 coats
China Glaze No Plain Jane, a chrome deep purple, for my base coat. Next,
I used China Glaze Want My Bawdy, a chrome royal blue, to sponge on my tips. I finished this
manicure off with some white dots and a coat of Seche Vite.
