Nail Crave: Ciate Caviar Manicures

Written by jessica.tannenbaum

Nails are a girls best friend, not to mention one of the best ways we can express ourselves.  We’re always looking for new ways to accessorize our nails, whether it be with funky decals or crazy neon colors.  Recently the nail brand, Ciate, has been in the spotlight featuring their unique caviar manicure kits.  This week, i’ve been loving the Ciate caviar manicure kits…

 

Creative Director for Ciate, Charlotte, “was looking to create 3-dimensional nails for a front cover magazine shoot and wanted to develop something feminine, indulgent yet delicately extravagant”.  And that is exactly what she did.  The caviar manicure is a unique a way to add dimension, spunk, and style to your nails.  Not to mention it is super easy.  To apply the caviar beads, follow these simple steps!

1.  Apply two coats of the Ciate Paint Pot that comes with the set, or that you can purchase individually.

2. Sprinkle the caviar pearls over your nails while they are still wet.  Don’t forget to place your hand over a tray so it can catch the excess pearls.

3.  Gently press the beads into your nails to ensure maximum staying power.

4.  Leave your nails to dry for 15-20 minutes, and your caviar manicure is complete!

The ciate nail sets and individual paint pots are available here.
