Caviar Beads: Review

Happy Sunday

Tonight I thought I would share with you a quick review of all three types of caviar beads I purchased from Primark. This is my last planned post relating to caviar beads... promise!

Caviar and Chandelier nails

Good evening lovelies

How are well all? I am glad today is over... Tuesday is my hate day as I have probably mentioned before so I am always glad to get to the evening so I can enjoy a little time to unwind. Mr LiPP goes kickboxing on Tuesdays so I get the house and the doggies to myself, usually we just curl up on the sofa surrounded by nail polish and chocolate, taking advantage of having full control over the tv remote :-).

These little pretties are from the weekend...

Caviar Beads: Bright Pink and Multi

Good morning lovelies

Happy Sunday. I absolutely could not resist sticking with the caviar bead theme and trying out my personal favourite of the three kits I got months ago in Primark. This one has a gorgeous dark pink creme polish and a real mix of bright coloured caviar beads.

Caviar Beads: Silver and Pink

Pinch and a punch, its the first of the month!

So I have a little confession... I have gotten a little obsessed with caviar beads! I am very late to the party as they are so last year but I finally got around to trying out the little kits I bought in Primark and I LOVE them! Be prepared to see many different looks as I have many different colours... ;)

Blue and Bronze recreation

TGI Friday lovelies! Whoop whoop!

Tonight I decided to recreate one of my most favourite manicures from last year but using darker colours. The manicure I am referring to is of course the picture I use as my blogger and twitter profile - the coral and white cream slice creation!

I love how this Konad pattern is so easy to stamp but looks like such a detailed marble manicure...

I started with two gorgeous coats of Barry M Navy. One of my absolute favourites and the first polish I purchased a back up bottle of (just in case!).

For the stamping I decided not to turn to my traditional Barry M Foils but to instead try out this little bottle of Bronze foil by Primark. I was so pleased when it turned out to be perfect for stamping so you are bound to see it more in the future :-).

 So what do you think of my wintery darker version of my favourite manicure from last year?

Here is a little reminder of my summer version... LOVE!

I am loving both versions but the coral version has a special place in my heart :-)

What plans do you have this weekend? Lots of fun stuff I hope?!

Pink and Purple glitter explosion

Hi lovelies

I hope you are enjoying your weekends so far? It is my Dads birthday today so we went out for a cooked breakfast this morning and then did a little shopping to help spend his birthday money :-)

I worked on these nails last night and although this was very far from my original nail art plan they did end up being pretty, girly and fun.

I started by applying three thin coats each of these two little cheapy polishes I got in a set fom Primark. Of course the quality is not great but the colours are vibrant and at £2 for 4 polishes you really can't have too many complaints.

Using two glitter polishes from my favourite budget brand BYS, I then layered over the Primark polish to hide any last brush marks and thin patches.

Once the glitter was dry I then used Barry M Silver Foil to stamp the explosion lines from plate BM 301.

I didnt wear this mani for too long as it was a little sickly sweet for my liking, however the glitter was really striking and these nails got lots of compliments :-).

Do you like glittery polishes?

Jelly Glitter Sandwich

Creating a jelly glitter sandwich has been on my to do list for a while. When I first purchased this very sheer but pretty nude polish I knew I would save it for this very occasion. Here is a picture of the finished jelly glitter nude sandwich.

To create this look I started with two coats of Barry M Nude. This polish is a sheer jelly that would not build to a full coverage no matter how many coats you applied. Other bloggers have described this polish as your-nails-but-better and I have to agree. It evened out the discoloration I have from constant wear of brightly coloured polish and made my nails look shiny, healthy and natural.

To create the sandwich filling I used a clear based glitter polish which contains a mixture of gold hex glitters and lots of micro fine glitter particles. It was part of a set from Primark (of all places) and whilst it smells very strongly of chemicals I really love how it looks.

To complete the sandwich I then turned back to Barry M Nude and added another two coats on top of the glitter. This creates a really pretty but subtle look as it stops the gold glitter from looking quite so bright.

What do you think of my finished jelly glitter sandwich? Is this a look you would go for?

Thanks for reading
