I love the 3d affect that they give. How long do they typically last? How much is too much, not cost? Is the kit worth the price or would putting my own kit together be a better idea?
I went to Michaels craft store, they sell Reflections microbeads in their scrapbook dept. A big plastic shaker was 3.99, and worked perfectly. I only played around a couple of times, and didn't leave them on, but I had white ones and they were lovely. You have to top coat the edges, can't top coat beads or the shine fades, true for the kit and the diy ones. If it's for a special occasion, I have heard they last for a day or two. I wonder if hairspray would hold them in place? hmm...Either way, the craft store had about 12 different colors, and multi pack sets of smaller bottles, so diy would be the way to go I would think. Ciate is trying to sue bloggers for calling them caviar, even though someone else coined the phrase the year before, so I wouldn't want to give them my 25 bucks anyway. ;) Good luck!
I wouldn't buy the ciate ones. they sell cheap microbeads on ebay and so. Can't say I'd wan't them to last longer than a special occasion would. I'm paranoid it would get in my mouth and food D:
