Caviar nail art is the next cool trend from Europe and I think it will cause quite a buzz around here. In Europe, nail artists are applying black seed beads to nails…and yes, it looks just like caviar. Cool, right? But I thought, how about applying the seed beads in a colored pattern, instead of just solid black? So, I created pink and white zebra stripes with micro seed beads and I love it. Let’s get started!

Supplies:

Nail Polish Remover                       
Clear Top Coat  
Polish Remover Pads                     
Clear Base Coat
Clear Base Coat                                
Tweezers
Opaque White Polish                    
White Pearl Micro Seed Beads
Pink Metallic Micro Seed Beads                                                                                       

Remove your old polish, file and buff your nails. Apply a clear basecoat and let dry.

Step 1: Apply a coat of Opaque White Polish and let dry. You only need one coat, because you will be covering it up with beads.

Step 2: Paint a small swatch of clear basecoat and begin applying pink micro seed beads with the tweezers in a random stripe pattern. I began in the middle of the nail, so I could build the pattern around it. Add more clear base coat as needed to stick the seed beads to the nail.

Step 3: Continue making your pink pattern until you have covered the nail or are happy with the look.

Step 4: Fill in between the pink pattern with the white pearl micro seed beads, and let dry.

Step 5: Cover the entire nail with 2 coats of topcoat and you are finished.

Tip: you can use regular see beads, however, your pattern will have less detail and be slightly bulky.

This look takes a little bit of time and patience, and you might not want to bead all of your nails, but it makes a great accent nail. Have fun beading !

Until next time…..keep those nails covered.
