Ciate Nail Innovation Kit Reviews
I'm always trying new things for my nails, be it with diamontes, glitter and water marbelling....
Caviar Micro Bead Kit:
So when I came across Ciate's nail innovation kits it was safe to say that I pretty much went and bought it straight away! The first of the nail kits were the Caviar micro-beads and I think I got this back in May. I ordered the black and the white sets:
Price: £18 The instructions were extremely easy to follow and what I loved about it the most was how mess free it would be to my desktop! The packaging includes a tray so that when you sprinkle the beads onto your nails it doesn't go everywhere and it has the most cutest mini funnel so that you can pour the beads back into the pot without losing any! Very clever!
To apply the look on the nails, you have to make sure that your nails are clean and dry and make sure you have all the bottle lids loose and all the equipment out the box so that you don't spend time messing about and ruining your nails !
1) I painted each nail with one coat of the given nail polish and allowed to dry.
2) It is essential that from this point forward you work one nail at a time otherwise the beads may not stick well!
3) After applying a second coat of polish I poured the caviar micro beads pot over my nail over the tray
4) You have to be very gentle when pressing the beads down as you don't want to move them around too much.
5) Then repeat this process for the rest of your nails.
6) I was scared of ruining the amazing effect so I waited around 20mins before touching or doing anything with my hands!
Working one nail at a time
The final look was amazing! It was fun, quirky, fashionable and different! I had my doubts as to how long it would last, but it was awesome! I went out in the evening (this included several rummages in the bag, washing hands etc) and when I got home it was not ruined and didn't lose any beads! The next day, It did lose a few beads but not enough for anyone to notice and on the third day it did drop! Overall I was in LOVE with this product and was so excited to hear that they would be releasing a Velvet Manicure kit!
Velvet Manicure Kit:
After waiting anxiously, months later the velvet manicure set was available! eeeepp!!!! So exciting and right on season too! I love velvet and this winter season velvet was everywhere! Without any hesitation I ordered mine and it arrived in less than 24hours!!!! Amazing delivery service! (thanks for not making me wait any further Ciate)
Price: £14. This was available in three colour choices: Berry Poncho (the one I bought), Mink Cashmere and Blue Suede! The packaging for this was similar as the caviar kit but inside, instead of a mini funnel you had a mini brush! The process for application was exactly the same except that instead of pressing down gently onto the nails, you use the mini brush to take off any excess crushed velvet from around the nail! There is no need for any topcoat as this would ruin the effect!
This was so good to touch! and looked stunning! I have my Christmas nails sorted for sure! This lasted even longer than the caviar manicure, even after my shower it didn't wear off easily (thats pretty impressive if you ask me) If you don't believe me, try it yourselves!
Sequin Manicure Kit:
Ok so the last one I bought was the sequin manicure kit and Igot this off the Selfridges website! As soon as I saw this I knew that it was going to be marvellous! I mean sparkels! WHO DOESN'T LOVE SPARKLES! I did let out a little shriek when it arrived in the post ^_^
Price £14. How amazing does it look!!! The packaging is different on this one, so it's not the usual lip and fingers but a hand holding a sequined shoe! I like the fact that they changed it! I think it looks good!
Again this comes in three colours: Tutu, Super Duper (My one) and Harlequin! I chose Super Duper as I thought it goes with most of my outfits but I have placed an order for the other two as I loved this product so much!!! Instead of a nail polish it comes with a sequin glitter gripper but the application step is exactly the same as before, so remember to work one nail at a time! I found that applying this it was slightly tricker to get rid of the glitter bits as they stuck to the hand but honestly I wouldn't say that it was so difficult that it's impossible! Like the Caviar Kit make sure you gently press down the sequin glitter once applied and set with a topping of the gripper again!
This is incredibly UH-MAZING. Seriously. It looked so good! Everyone wanted to know where to buy it from and how I did it. It lasts a long time, wears well and sparkles alot!
Perfect for New Years Eve!
I mean I understand that these may not be for everyone but I will say give it a go, you never know how much you'll like it until you try it! It also makes for an amazing Christmas/Birthday present for somone who loves Beauty and Fashion!
