Mmmm caviar

Good morning guys!

So who wants to see some more caviar nails? If you do you're in luck! My sister got me these micro beads from Claire's for Christmas and I couldn't wait to try them out! The beads are a mis of blue and purple and the combo is just gorgeous! Take a look :) 


Colors used:
- Maybelline Color Show Blue Blowout 










I was apparently kind of stingy on my pinky and thumb ;) This blue and purple is such a great combo! It actually reminds me of an animal print... I believe there is a frog with these colors.... I might be wrong but that's what it reminds me of. Again these are so much fun but SO not practical -_- I wouldn't be able to wear these for more than an hour before I picked them all off LOL

So what do you guys think?

Thanks for reading :)

OH and hint hint... keep your eyes on my blog... there may or may not be a giveaway popping up in the near future ;)

Caviar anyone?

Good morning lovelies!

I finally have my very first caviar manicure for you guys today! As I said it is my first so BE NICE! Haha I have a few bald spots and such... I tried to fill them in but ended up just losing more -_- Anyone have any tips on how not to have bald spots? I'll gladly take them LOL :)

I wasn't sure how I felt about the whole caviar trend... they just seemed to unwearable... and really they kind of are. I ended up quite liking how they looked surprisingly. I would never be able to wear them for more then a few minutes though I'm a chronic nail picker and you all know what that means LOL Those little beads wouldn't stand a chance! But for picture taking purposes I thought they looked super cool! 



Colors used:
- Sinful Colors Black on Black
- Maybelline Color Show Bold Gold 










My camera completely freaked out color-wise when taking these photos. The gold really is MUCH brighter and prettier in person -_- Dumb camera lol! Besides the bald spots I think these are something I will definitely do again... as long as you guys like them ;)

Which brings me to my next question... what do you guys think?! 

Thanks for reading all :)

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 :)
