Sounds gross, right? But it looks so fabulous; this manicure is the complete opposite of what the name suggests. They come in a bunch of different colors. You can pick them up at any local arts and crafts store. I recommend hitting up Michael's or Hobby Lobby. Once you have all the supplies you need, get ready to learn how to get caviar nails! Wash your hands. Then, make sure your nails are properly trimmed and filed. Plus, remove any leftover nail polish so that you have fresh, clean nails to work with.
Apply the first coat of your colored nail polish and let it dry. Then, apply a second coat. Then, before your second coat dries, take a pinch of beads and sprinkle them all over one of your nails.
Unless you are sloppy with the nail polish there shouldn't be much clean up of beads but if necessary move stray beads with a toothpick or dry fingernail. Repeat until all fingernails are covered with microbeads.
Now that your nails look perfect you are basically going to make them look It would be nice if you could stop right here but unfortunately you will be eating beads even sooner if you do. Okay, okay, you are really good with glitter but are you good at not getting microbeads to bleed their color all over your cuticles? That's what happens see picture when you apply the top coat. They also start to change color.
They don't loose their color but there must be some kind of reaction with the chemicals in the polish that changes the color of the microbeads. Be very light with the top coat. You will have to sop up excess with a tissue or cotton swab without moving the beads.
You won't get the monochromatic color scheme that I really wanted but at least you won't get color bleeding all over your cuticles. This is a great idea for a very special ONE DAY or half-day occasion but there is a very good reason you don't see people running around with caviar nails every day. The beads start flaking off almost immediately. First the tips then the rest! DO NOT attempt this for a first date kind of thing where you may or may not be going somewhere to eat, say, chicken wings, that you may or may not have to lick your fingers after.
You will definitely get a mouth full of beads. Not something you want glittering between your two front teeth when you smile! I can definitely say I won't be doing this again even though it looks so good in pictures!
Question 3 years ago on Introduction. I just got my acrylic nails filled. One nail has caviar on it. How can I remove the caviar without harming the acrylic underneath? What if you used colored sugar? It would be sparkly and wouldn't matter if you ate some. What's new New posts New media New media comments Latest activity.

Hi Geeks, As the title says really, is it possible to do a caviar manicure and set it in the base coat of gel? Joined Apr 9, Messages Reaction score 0 Location worcesershire. I tried it on a popit with shellac in pink looked fab but then I top coated and it ruined it lol. It would have to be put on after a top coat. X I think.
