I mentioned that I also received the Bullion Beads. They can be found here for $3.33. It comes in a wheel of 12 different colors. The beads are so tiny that they got a little mixed together despite the different compartments. It's a nice array of colors that are available in this wheel. I chose to use the dark teal on the top right of my picture.
It was a perfect match for Essie School of Hard Rocks. This is 2 coats.
I applied a generous coat of Seche Vite and then poured the beads over the nail until they covered the entire thing. (Remember the "caviar" debate?)
One solid nail used up a good bit of my beads of that color, so for the rest of the nails I just outline the half moon area with a line of beads.
It's not a terribly long lasting manicure, but it's cute and a novelty. :)
wow pretty....http://cutenailstudio.blogspot.in/
ReplyDeletepretty!
ReplyDeleteoooh! I love that!!!! how long did the bullion stay on your nails for? can you get a whole day's wear out of them?
ReplyDeleteI just kept them for about 2 hours. Then they started to come off little bits at a time.
DeleteYou can greatly lengthen the duration of the the manicure by adding a top coat of nail gel. It will not cause the bead colors to run, and will add ad an extra layer of lacquer to protect the beads.
DeleteAhhh super cute!! This is one of the first caviar manis I have actually like a lot...good job!
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous! But, as you said, it looks that it couldn't last much, I think every tiny ball will fall sooner or later. Kisses
ReplyDeleteExactly, only about 2 hours for me
