Des bijoux et des fleurs

Hello ladies,

Today I am showing Ceremony, the last polish I have to share from the BB Couture for Men Formal Collection. I loved reviewing these beautiful and distinctive shades. With the combination of flowers, decorative swirls and jewels, my manicure was French inspired.

I stamped the swirls from Bundle Monster plate BM02 with white Konad special polish. I placed orange and yellow dried flowers at various points along the pattern. Then, I added coordinating rhinestones to sparkle within the curves.








Ceremony was opaque on my long nails in three, easy to apply coats. I'm fairly certain more active length nails could be successfully polished with two coats. The formula is salon quality perfection. I love this brand!

The dried flowers and golden jewels came to me by way of the beautiful Laura from Sawan. The bright orange stones were from the lovely Michelle of The Lacquer Files. Thanks so much! I hope you ladies enjoyed this creation. xoxo!

Ceremony was sent to me for review. This shade along with the other polishes in the BB Couture For Men Formal Collection can be purchased from overallbeauty.com.

Happy painting, ladies!

  9. Wowwy wowwy wow wow, at first look all I could think was nasturtiums nasturtiums then I did the zoom and said to myself oh now you have to get some dried flowers. For some reason I thought dried flowers would look dead or fake but no they look real and natural like flowers on your fingernails simple as that. Every mani you do is better than the last. No not better just new and surprisingly perfect again like the BB colors one is not better than the other because they are all such unique colors. You have a special talent for embellishing right to the edge of perfection without going over the top.

    I've seen a few dried (real?!) flowers in a few nail-shops that I buy things from when I'm caving in to buy konads and now seing your manicure I think I'm going to do some research to do a manicure with them :)
