The Scoop
I guess I got too ahead of myself last week. I got
cocky because I was on time with my #ManiMonday post and now look at me,
posting #maniMonday on Tuesday. I am shamed…lol. But it’s sort of a good thing
because now I can share how the mani has been holding up. So let’s just jump
right into it…
The Product
This week I
tried Rock
Beauty’s Nail Rock Nail Caviar in “Venus”. I’ve been meaning to try the
caviar mani for a minute so I’m glad I finally got my hands on one. This set
come with a tin of “caviar” beads and a nail color that compliments the color
of the beads. I was surprised at the formula and application of the nail
polish. I wasn’t expecting anything great because I assumed you’d really just
be paying for the beads but I was pleasantly surprised by the polish. The brush
was perfect – it’s sort of a mix between a flat brush and a round brush. It
picked up the perfect amount of polish. The polish was not streaky and it dried
pretty quickly. I would have been content simply wearing the polish by itself –
but I was on a mission.
So in order to achieve the 3D caviar look you have
to apply two coats of the nail color (I’m still using my Probelle Nail Hardener as a base coat as well), dip your fingers
into the beads and then press firmly. After all of the steps were complete I
was really happy with the way it turned out (see pics below). But now that I’m
writing this post two days later I can say that I would not recommend this type
of manicure if you want to rock it as your weekly manicure. It’s perfect to add
a touch of glam for a night on the town – think birthday, New Years, etc. It’s
two days later and 70% of my beads have already fallen off so it’s definitely
not meant to last but still looks cool none the less.
It also come in a color called ‘Jupiter’
which is gold and I think would be perfect for a holiday party.
The Look
Overall, I really liked the finished product, I
couldn’t stop staring at my nails when I was done. But like I said I definitely
do not recommend this as an everyday manicure – but if you have a special
occasion coming up it would be perfect. The set is pretty well priced at $8/pack
which is good considering you can get one nail polish for that price. What do
you ladies think? Have you tried the caviar nails yet? What brand did you use
and how long did it last?
Other News: Probelle Progress Report
In other news, as you guys have noticed from all
of my #ManiMonday posts I’ve been using the Probelle Nail Hardener for about 4-5
weeks now. The first 3 weeks I kept clipping my nails down short every week.
Week four is when I started to file and shape them instead of clipping them
down. I decided to do this so that my nails could get stronger first before I
started trying to grow them out. Check out my nails this week…
So far I like what my nails are doing. The only
issue I have had has been with my thumbs. I don’t know what the problem is or
was but for those first three weeks my nails kept breaking on the sides so for
my thumbs I really had no choice but to keep clipping them down to try to
correct the damage. Right now my thumbs are shorter than all of my other nails
but overall they are a lot stronger and I can see a notable difference in the
whites of my nails as well.
