Are Caviar Nails the Coolest Thing Since Minx?

PRODUCT REVIEW | NAILS
By Huda Heidi Kattan

When I first saw the ad campaign for the Ciate Caviar nails one word came to mind: HAAAUUTE!!! Of course they are super gorgeous, but a lot of times ad campaigns just show beautiful pictures with the kits are impossible to use! I was a bit worried when I saw beads, I kept imaging beads falling around everywhere! After I applied a top coat I was shocked at just how well these actually stayed on! Very easy to use and stays on pretty well! I must say, I am impressed!

I loooove the black color, but I must warn you if you only apply one coat, the nail polish could show through, check out the white one I did below, I only did one coat and you can see the strokes! Make sure you do two!!

Available in the UAE at Sisters Salon, US at Sephora, UK & Europe Ciate online

    Well, honestly I don’t like it….Think it’s only good for editorials and fashion events, but not for every day….

      On the other hand…many reviews state that the little beads come off really easily and won’t even last you through the night…did you experience that too, Huda??

    The Caviar Manicure states that it will last 48 hours, but i have been wearing for over a month now and the last 3 to 4 days, then any gaps you can reapply the base coast and add more beads or you can start again. Each set has enough for 30 applications.

    The application is supper easy, the instructions from Ciatè are apply the 1st base and let it dry, after applying the 2nd base colour poor on the beads, remove any excess from the edges and immediately pat the beads down lightly, The top coat then is only needed to seal the edge. If applied in the way it will stay 3 to 4 days, some beads may fall but not many. I find if you apply a lot of beads then, it is practical there is no snagging of beads being caught in hair etc as some reports state. However, it depends on the look you are going for, if you want more of the base showing, for example with the rainbow, the pink looks nice showing through.
    For me the white is my fav as it really catches the light in bright sunshine or artificial light and looks iridescent .
    The Caviar stock is on its way and will launch exclusively with Sephora in the Region, Sisters in the UAE and on Citruss TV. No one has stock yet. The lunch will be on the 1st July.
