Happy Easter!

Happy Easter! <3

I hope you're having a wonderful Easter with the ones you love! And if you're not celebrating, then I hope you're having a relaxing Sunday. I didn't do anything special today. I wanted to paint my nails, I actually even did a couple of times but all I did was just a big mess. :i

Here's a picture I wanted to share with you. I did Pink Caviar Mani a while ago but I didn't check all the pictures I took. I don't know what happened here, but the beads came out so beautiful and unreal, so I wanted to share this colorful picture for today. <3

I'm also starting a personal challenge. I usually wear a manicure for a day or two, then I get bored and remove it. But now I'll give nail polish a chance to chip! So I'll wear it until it won't be ready to be removed. :D So no more naked nails! From time to time I don't know what to do with my nails, so I leave them naked or I do just one hand so I can show them to you. But now I'm going to do my both hands and I'll enjoy it! :D

How long do you leave your manicure on? Did you do an Easter Manicure?

Few more pics - here's Bebo in the action trying to catch a fish. :D

 Thanks for reading!

Pink Caviar Manicure

I'm sure you're already familiar with Caviar manicure, because I'm seeing it everywhere at the moment but in case you have no idea what I'm talking about, I'll tell you one more time. :P

Ciaté released a Caviar Manicure set, where you get a base nail polish and pearls aka beads. Long story short, great idea but the whole set is a bit overpriced. Okay, you get a tray and mini funnel to pour back all beads that fall down but you can put a tiny box under and make your own funnel from a piece of paper. :D The idea about caviar manicure is to pour pearls over wet polish, gently push them to stick even more and get a 3D manicure that looks like caviar. :D I think we all got same idea when we saw this set....
 

All you need are beads. I got mine on Born Pretty Store ages ago, search for 3D Steel Ball Glitter. This set costs a bit more than $5 and you get 12 colors so you can easily mix them together and get funny combinations. You can use my new code J10X31 to get 10% off. Btw... If this code will be used two times more, BPS will sponsor a giveaway. :)

Step 1: Apply a base color. Or if you already have nail polish on, you can just add a layer of top coat to have sticky surface. Do one nail at a time.

Step 2: When polish is still wet, put your finger over something that will catch fallen beads. Sprinkle beads over your nail to cover the whole surface.

Step 3: Gently push the beads down so they stick a bit more and you get rid of a beads that didn't stick to the nail.

Step 4: Apply a coat of top coat to seal the beads and make them "long lasting".

I did my ring finger yesterday and it seems like the topcoat changed color to light pink so it looks like I did an accent nail. :P

I was done in less than 10 minutes, but I only did my left hand. I'm sure I'll do a full manicure once in the future, because it's really easy to make it.

My nails are super short, excuse me for that, but the final result looks funny and cute even on my nubs. :) So yes, no need to spend so much money on that set. :e You can mix as many color as you like so you're not limited with specific color combinations of beads, that's another plus!

What do you think? Do you like this new trend and idea about Caviar manicure? It's not super long lasting so I'd definitely wear it for special occasions or when you want to do something special. :D
