caviar passion


hey loves!

so i've been wanting to try this for awhile now and finally had the time to do it and can i just say, I AM IN LOVE! this is definitely a keeper for me!

if you haven't noticed i love nail polish and painting my nails and this is really unique! the items i used are the 'recollections micro bead' set from michael's. they cost about $7 and work perfectly.

here's how i did it:

i put a small amount of beads in a small container and had an little larger container empty for catching the excess.

i did my normal base coat and applied one coat of polish, let it dry.

then i added a coat of my quick drying uv top coat and immediately sprinkled the beads on top of the wet polish. i did two coats of beads because i wanted them to be really packed but one is fine.

lightly tap your finger on the beads to pack them into the wet polish.

it's best to do one finger at a time because you want the beads to come in contact with fresh wet polish.

lastly, do a light top coat to help prevent chipping. i did a top coat over the entire nail, i find it helps seal the entire thing. some coloring my come off the beads so just wipe your nail brush on a tissue before putting it back in the bottle. and your done! lovely huh!?!

stay beautiful!
