[Review] Ciaté’s Mini Mani Month 2013 (US) – pearls – cupids arrow and midnight in manhattan

Hello everyone,

introducing pearl bottle number three and four.

cupids arrow (lilac mix)

As you can see, these are mixed pearls. A mix of different lilac and rose/pink shades, even some grey/silvery and beige/orange ones. This is really a mix of many different shades, but I think the blend it perfectly and give a nice result. I am in love with these.

The application here is the same as for the pearls in general.

Apply your base color in as many coats as you want.
I applied the base color with three coats and let it properly dry.
After that add the top coat, but make sure to add it only where you want the caviar pearls to stick and add the pearls right away while the clear coat is still wet. I advice you to do one nail at a time.
Add the pearls in different ways to have some variety.

Do you see what I did here?
I also added a glitter topper. The one you see is PPM402 – glitterball from the tree trinkets which I will fully review later on.

Midnight in Manhattan (silver/black mix)

As you can see, these are also mixed pearls. As far as I can see they have mixed silver with black, blue, turquoise and khaki green pearls. I don’t know why they mixed the blue and green ones in, I would have preferred simple silver and black. But I guess this is more unique, so it’s nice. It is definitely difficult to match though.

please excuse the poor lightning, but I think the color of the polish and pearls affected the outcome

How do you like this combination?
Let me know in the comments.
