Life has
been pretty crazy, but with summer coming to an end (sad!), I will hopefully be
able to post a little bit more. The trend of adhering objects to our nails is
still going on, and ciate has taken things to a new level with their new velvet
manicures sets. I was very curious about how this would work, so I picked up a
set when I had the time. The set I chose is the burgundy-purple set with the Cabaret polish.
The set comes with a plastic rectangular container to hold the crushed velvet
when youre sprinkling, a little black brush, crushed velvet in a shaker bottle,
and the polish itself. Cabaret is a beautiful deep purple-burgundy polish that was opaque in 2
coats. The best way to get the velvet to stick is to sprinkle it right when you
apply the 2nd coat, so you should do each finger one at a time.
Also, give it a bit of time to set before you brush off the excess with the
black brush, otherwise it streaks and pulls some of the velvet powder off.
Pros:
Very unique / texture DOES feel like velvet / easy to apply and remove
Cons:
Velvet gets worn down easily / price
Overall,
I liked this polish set and there is nothing else in my collection like this,
so I was pleased. Hope this helps you make a decision in whether you want to
purchase it or not.
does it feel velvety? think it will go really well with winter fabrics!
ReplyDeleteIt does feel velvety. Moreso on the first 2 days, then it wears down a bit but still fun
