Ciate Caviar Inspired Nails DIY!!
Heyyyyy Guys! so i know you guys have heard about the new Ciate Caviar Manicure Set which is now avaiable at Sephora..if you havnt its basically a new trend thats going on where you can microbead your own nails! Heres a Picture of Ciate Set..this set includes A bottle of beads, polish, & a small funnel to apply your beads for $25!
So idk about you guys but i thought $25 was a bit pricey for one bottle of microbeads so i decided to do a lil DIY to save myself some mulllaaa! :)
Sooo the other day i was at Michaels & i found this microbeading set! its a 12 pack by Martha Stewart & its multipurpose use sooo not just for nails, you can get lots of use out of this specially if your into crafts! Cool, right? lol soo yeah picked these up for around $16 something i believe !
I thought this was cool because instead of going to sephora & picking up one bottle you can get 12 different colors & get creative with it! you can pick your own colors Mix & Match, if your not feeling the whole Mixed beads colors & you just want to add a little 3D to your nails! I know they also sell more micro beads which include blacks, white, copper & all that for like $6 bucks but ill just stick to this one for now! soooo now on to the tutorialll :)
First off your gonna want to paint your nails, as you normally would you can use the polish of your choice doesn't matter the brand.
I'm using this REALLY gorgeous light pink by Sally Hansen in I Pink I Can.. I really like it specially cuz it dries super fast!
So here are the colors i chose, i was going for a bright fun look!
So once you have the colors you will use ready, you will need a container or bowl whatever you want to use to pour & mix your beads. I am pouring a small amount of each container to my bowl.
If you will be microbeading all of your nails you will want to add a little more amount of each. I will only be microbeading my ring fingers today so im using small amounts!
so once you have all your colors in there your gonna want to mix all the colors together with your finger very well, this will give you that look Ciate is going for.
It should look something like this in the end :)
okaay so now that you got your beads ready your going to apply a generous amount of nail polish on to your nails, i find it easier to do one by one since the beads stick on very easily when the polish is fresh.
kay so right after you apply a coat of nail polish make sure you have a second container ready to catch the beads! im just using this small box here whatevvvvsss lol! put your finger that you will be microbeading in one of the containers then with your other bowl that has the microbeads start sprinkling them onto your nail, make sure you move your nail around while they are dropping they will stick fairly easily but you want to get the sides & everything too. Once you do that wait a few seconds and start pressing the beads onto your nails from the top and sides just to secure them.
Heres what it should look like!
After thats done and your happy with how your beads look, you will want to apply a top coat onto your nail, its important that you ONLY apply the top coat AROUND your nails that are microbeaded, like the sides top & bottom you dont want to cover the whole thing with top coat cuz it will melt the beads! As for the rest of my nails i have already applied a top coat!
Yayy soo heres the final look! im really happy how they came out & the fact that i could still save myself a few bucks! *ignore my index finger lol just took off my acrylics :(
I hope you guys liked my first tutorial lol yayy & hope it was helpful to some of you! I had alot of fun trying this new trend out! Let me know if you guys tried this out & how it worked for you.
Also let me know if you would want more tutorials like this!
MUAH XOXO

Mario Badescu
Hello Darlingss!! :) Just wanted to tell you guys about a package i received about 2 weeks ago or so...yess i got FREE samples lol thanks to the wonderful & gorgeous Jessica @ http://pasionstarbutterfly.blogspot.com/ The samples were Good sized too lol :) heres what i got....

i received 7 sample sizes of the recommended products.
here's what the back looks like...
They even send you out directions on how to use their products to get the best out of them. :)
Here's what my samples are called...i didn't receive the Drying lotion though as you can tell because the sample was not available :( i was bummed out because i really wanted to try it out!
so basically how it works out is you go to their website www.mariobadescu.com when there, click on the tab that says 'consulting' fill out your information & answer the questions about yourself...you want to answer these as honest as you can because this is what they will be sending out to you and recommending you...once your done you can exit out the page or continue browsing just dont buy anything. Around two days later you will recieve an email asking if you want to try out their samples. Click on the link to confirm and Ta-daaa your samples will be on their way shortly!!! I'm really loving my samples & looking forward to purchasing some soon!!
Muahhh XOXO!!
Julep Open Box + Review!!
Hey guys sooo guess what i just got!! My first Julep Box i was soo excited i signed up for just 1 penny this month!!
The box was very simple, just small black box with their logo on the side!
Welcoming papers , blah blah blah lol :)
yayy! the nail polishes were very well packaged!!
Came in this pink baggy that was folded!
The nail polishes came in bubble wrap which is a plus.
i got the bombshell subscription! :)

So this is all i got, 2 toe separators which i could honestly care less for because they were very flimsy, i almost ripped them taking them out of the box! lol but good for one use i guess! I also got some Pedi Cream which felt really soft! lol i actually tried these on my hand because hence the reason why my nails looked soo crappy below i had just removed my acrylics and they were soo dryy & nasty i applied some of this cream & it sort of helped out but i gotta say the smell is a little strong but i don't mind!
The two nail polishes i received were GORGEOUSSS! The colors i got were the Red in Natasha & the gold glittery one in Oscar!
Here i applied 3 coats of each! The Red color was more of a Red-Orange which is REALLY pretty! & i lovve glittery nail polishes so i instantly fell in love with the color when i took it out of the box! (sorry the picture doesn't do justice!! But idk if it was just me but after i applied on Oscar (gold glittery) at the end of the day it had completely chipped off! Maybe it was because i was in a hurry and didn't use a top coat hmm have any of you had the same problem? I've noticed it happens with most Glittery polishes though! :) But for 1 penny that i payed i was definitely not disappointed & the quality was definitely not cheap! I Believe they are still doing the penny deal if you sign up now sooo HURRYY before its over, you can check them out here!!
Hope you guys enjoyed this Review, Muahh XOXO!!
