Playing with micro beads :)

Happy Saturday all!!

So if you guys follow me on twitter, I tweeted out a picture of getting my first set of micro beads yay! LOL That was a little while ago so if you don't remember that's ok ;) I'm finally getting around to posting pics of my manis that I did using the microbeads and I've got a full on caviar mani in the works too! 

The idea for this mani actually came from my lovely blogger friend Emma over at Nailed Into You. She did THIS mani and I knew I had to try it!! She is so freaking creative you all should definitely go give her some love! :) 

So here's my verison!



Colors used:
- Finger Paints Paper Mache
- Sinful Colors Black on Black 
- China Glaze Unpredictable
- White Acrylic Paint










I wish I had used more festive colors like she did but I still love the way this came out!! I seriously would never had thought to do anything like this if it weren't for Emma LOL! 

The micro beads were a slight pain to work with -_- They kept sticking to the toothpick I was using to apply them... Oh well the things we do for beauty right?! :) Oh and by the way I am in LOVE with China Glaze Unpredictable it's so pretty!!! 

So what do you guys think?

Don't forget to check out Emma's blog Nailed Into You you won't regret it!! 

Thanks for reading all :)

  4. This is so cute! I love the little bows :) I'm not super into full caviar manis, but I really love the little touch of it here. And it's seriously impressive how neatly you got the micro beads on there! A great job, as always :)

    1. Aw thanks so much!! I wasn't sure how I felt about the full caviar mani but it was pretty cool when I finally got around to doing it... I don't think I would ever actually wear it out but it was cool anyways LOL
