So despite the vast array of products that we have quite literally at our fingertips here at thebeautyobsession, we still get tempted by pretty things for our fingertips (get it?!). One such temptation that we couldn’t resist was this gorgeous Ciate Caviar Mini Bar.With four miniature varnishes (Knickerbockerglory, Pom Pom, Fit for a Queen & Sand Dune) and four bottles of caviar pearls (Prom Queen, Jubilee, Hologram & Candyshop)  in different colours, we fell in love at first sight!

The varnishes are easy to apply, two coats is enough for an even finish, and then pouring over the caviar pearls is a lot simpler than it looks. If you ensure you keep a tray or pot underneath, you can quickly pour the pearls back into the bottle with the caviar funnel that comes with the kit to ensure there’s no wastage.

For this look we used Fit for a Queen polish and Hologram caviar pearls. We think it fits in well with the Ice Queen/Frost trend around this season. Surprisingly the pearls feel quite secure – just make sure you don’t pick at them! We think the Caviar Mini Bar would make a great Christmas present – that is if you’re nicer than we are and can bear to give it away!

You can buy from the Ciate site and they helpfully give you full instructions on how to create the look yourself. Hurry, if you sign up for their newsletter, you’ll get 10% off your order! You can also order from ASOS, with free delivery & returns here!

A/W Nail Trends…

Just a quick nail post to show you what we are loving right now at thebeautyobsession

We swear by BioSculpture Gel for a gorgeous look that lasts two to three weeks without chipping, and there are so many gorgeous colours, there is something to suit every season, every event and every mood!

Often people think that having gel nails means you can’t experiment as much. We say that’s not true, you just need to find yourself an excellent fully trained technician.

The look above was created by using two coats of our current favourite shade, was then added carefully to the cuticle area before the second layer was sealed. The who thing was then covered with a top coat and sealed again.

We think this look is fab! Keep your eyes peeled for more nail trends and let us know if you have any ideas.
