Pink + Blue Clouds and Caviar

Why hello there!! Double posting today, a first for me, not all that exciting to be honest. I've had the "cloud" manicure on my to-do list for too long and it's adorable so I don't know why I've been waiting for so long. Another thing I should've tried earlier, caviar nails (or nail in my case), I've had the beads since Christmas so there's been no reason not to go for it except procrastination.

The clouds are so easy and cute, I just used the brush of the polish to do some lumpy shapes in a scallop shape/pattern and sorted, no issues with proportioning either!! The caviar looks quite cool too, these are the cheap ones from MUA (the one called Pisces containing blue, pink and silver beads, there's quite a large range of different beads from MUA), £3 instead of whatever high price Ciate is charging. It's good for those who want to try it out and not pay high prices, also I can't imagine myself using the beads a lot.

It wasn't particularly difficult to use the beads, just pour them over the wet polish. I had a container to stop the beads from going everywhere and so I could get excess back into the tube. The beads still went everywhere and some got stuck in the container I was using (I have to say I didn't use the best container), but MUA's tube for the beads has a lid that can also be used as a funnel which was somewhat helpful. I shook my hand for a bit to get rid of most of the excess from the nail (much more fell after, all before the photos). I wasn't fond of the packed look. After a little bit I pressed the beads gently to help them stick better I guess.
As you can imagine the beads don't last very long, especially with me as I decided to have a sorting out stuff day and in less than half a day quite a few of the beads came off and then I picked the remaining ones off too. I bet some people could make them last a day (max. 2 days), they are just not convenient for daily life. I wanted to go out and be like "Oh la la I have a fancy nail", but I didn't go out.

Here I have an alternate look, post beads, they left a bit of colour and I thought it looked cool, but after picking some nail was exposed so I freehanded some hearts with Lovely Me:Ex - White and Lovely Me:Ex - Black.
Base: Nails Inc - Sweets Way
I have to say removal this time wasn't so bad, the glitter still went everywhere but it wasn't all that difficult to get it off in the first place.
