Hi beauties, hope you're enjoying the weekend! I have some pretty exciting nail mail I want to share with you today!...
...Just before Christmas, I was approached by the guys at BOHEM with
regards to trying out their new sterling silver nail
jewellery! I received a special blogger discount, allowing me to bring you
this wee post here... The jewellery is a thin silver plate, covering
the whole nail and can be engraved with a variety of designs. They can be
plain engravings like these ones or filled with colourful enamels; even gold,
filagree and embellished designs are available. They come in three sizes
& two curvatures to best fit your nail and vary in price. This
'Gypsy Print' pair are priced at £35.42 +VAT. In a normal, non-promo order, they would come in a nice presentation box as seen on the website.
I
went with the gypsy print (leopard print) because it's a favourite of
mine and I didn't want any coloured enamel to ensure I could use them
for a variety of looks. For this first go I decided to pair the
jewellery with a matte black and silver foil stamped manicure. I think
the matte paint against the shine of the silver is just lovely.
I started by painting all but
the accent nail black and topcoating with a clear matte polish. I then
used the silver foil to stamp the matching leopard print. I had to
double stamp three of the nails because these cheeky plates are just no
good for my longer nails! I then lightly buffed my accent nail and
dehydrated using an alcohol sanitiser spray I use professionally. I then
firmly placed the sticky tab on the underside of the jewellery at the
cuticle end and left for a minute. Next, I removed the film from the
other side of the sticky and pushed firmly onto my nail, cuticle end
first, and held for a few minutes.
I must admit, I was a little dubious about this product. Although I
loved the idea and look, I didn't believe it would fit well on my slim
jim nails and I wasn't convinced the sticky would hold. (I know another
blogger lost hers the other day after a day or so of wear). I wore mine
out and then overnight, forgetting to peel it off, and it was still in
place in the morning so that's pretty good to me! It was comfortable to
wear, fitted my nail size and shape well and looked pretty cool. I did
have to get used to the weight on my nail - you wouldn't think it, but
that little extra IS noticeable.

I love how you have complemented the silver nail perfectly. I was also a bit dubious bit these are a really great way of doing something very special with your nails - I mean, who doesn't love a bit of bling!
ReplyDeleteThanks hun! They do make a nice lil nail treat, especially for a special occasion! :)
DeleteI know your post was written ages ago, but do you remember which size is the one you are wearing? I would like to order a pair and although there is a sizing guide, there is no pictures of how the different sizes fit acording to their length. would you know which size is yours?
ReplyDeleteHi Natalia, I do remember, I got the small :) still going strong after several uses too!
