I decided to use my two favorite colors for the review, so I started looking through my stash for a purple and a turquoise polish to match. For the purple, I chose RBL Mismas and the lighter shade of purple microbeads. Mismas is amazing. I had some base coat-related formula issues with my RBLs, but I bought a bottle of Essie ridge-filling base coat and used it this time and it was incredible. Mismas applied so smooth and easy. Anyway, after two coats of polish, I dipped my ring finger nail into the little container of beads. I didn't get total coverage, but I like that some of the polish is still peeking through.
I decided to use Essie Turquoise & Caicos with the turquoise beads. This was my second attempt, so I was able to get better coverage when I dipped my nail in the beads. I actually really like this look. It's not convenient for every day wear, but it would work great for a fancy one-night mani.

about how many mani's does one container cover?
ReplyDeleteNot sure. I've only used them for accent nails thus far.
Deletegorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteBoth manis look beautiful, but the sencond one has to be my favorite! I love turquoise!
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried the fish egg mani yet. How is the removal? Challenging? Like glitter? TY!
ReplyDeleteIt's actually not too bad! It does make a mess though, so I'd suggest doing it over a paper plate or something to catch all the beads so they don't end up on the floor :P
DeleteOooo, So pretty! I love both the looks you did. I love the white pearls too, super pretty!
ReplyDeleteYour nails are awesome, looks pretty to have this caviar nail balls. I like your polish, the caviar pearls and your polish really work good.
ReplyDeleteLoved it! Did you use a top coat after? I am afraid it will change the colour of the balls...
ReplyDeleteNo topcoat! It makes the nail with the balls on it look very strange.
DeleteGreat mani! Love how your application is so neat! What is your secret? :) Love the microbeads too
ReplyDeleteTurquoise & Caicos is on my must have list i love this color
ReplyDeleteI can't get my containers open! :( what's the easiest way besides breaking them? Gah

ReplyDeleteHello. I just have a quick question. I bought these a while ago and I used them again last night. I used the dark purple. Now what I find is that the color comes off and they look silver. Not cool. Do you put a top coat on it or not? I'd like to know.
