Once again, Ciaté has come up with an exciting new manicure kit. Their Flower Power manicure set comes in two different color combinations and just in time for spring. The set allows you to adhere real pressed flowers to your manicure for a gorgeous spring look. You can choose from one of two mini paint pot color selections; the one featured here--Ferris Wheel a lovely robins egg blue, or Candy Floss--a bubblegum pink. The Ferris Wheel kit comes with hot pink and bright blue posies and purple babies breath, while the Candy Floss one comes with hello and royal blue posies and white babies breath flowers. Each kit also comes with tweezers to apple the flowers, a full size topcoat, and a file to file off any flowers that could be hanging over the edge of the nail. 


To try out the kit, I decided to just use the purple flowers. I first painted one coat of butter LONDON Nail Foundation Flawless Basecoat. Instead of using Ferris Wheel, since there is still snow on the ground and I wanted something a little more toned down I opted to use butter LONDON's Billy No Mates--a beautiful dove grey creme. After painting two coats of Billy No Mates and letting it dry fully, I applied one coat of the topcoat. While still wet, I selected the desired flowers and placed them on the nail with the tweezers, gently pressing them into the nail. I painted one more layer of the topcoat to seal the flower to the nail, and repeated the process for the remaining nails. After I was finished placing all the flowers, and the topcoat had dried, I used the file to buff the edges of the nail so none of the dried flowers were hanging off the edge. 


What do you think of this manicure set from Ciaté?
