Caviar or fishy egg nails seem to be the big buzz in nail art right now. It's not something I would buy as a set. However the other day when I was going to pick up some dog treats at my local dollar store I came across a package of micro beads. Seeing they only cost a $1.00 I thought I would give it a shot.

What you’ll need:
Microbeads
Small bowl to catch excess beads
Base & top coat
Nail colour of your choice
Cotton swab

| Package of 6 glass viles of microbeads -ONLY 1 DOLLAR! |
First I applied my base coat and one coat of Sally Hansen's Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear in Purple Potion.
I then applied my second coat and right away poured the microbeads on. I had to turn my finger as I poured to make sure that they attached on the sides. (sorry for the blurry picture. I only had one chance at capturing it)
Then I just patted them down to make sure they were secure Next I used my cotton swab to remove any excess beads around the cuticles and sides of nails.
Last step was to apply a bit of top coat to the tip of my finger nails. I did this to make sure they were extra secure at the tip. I suppose you could put it all over the nail but I think it would take away from the overall effect. Surprisingly they stayed on better than expected.

A couple strays came off here or there but other than that I was quite impressed. I didn’t think this look was for me but the more I played around with them the more I liked it. For just a dollar I suggest anyone to try it out.
