    SPRINKLE BEADS DUO  R79:99 Limited Edition at Selected Clicks Stores

   The newest craze in nail art is called the caviar manicure; so named for the little beads on the nail that imitate the look of caviar.

   It's really easy. All you need is a few coats of polish, some beads and top coat. We found that the smaller the beads, the better it worked. The beads we are using are about the size of sprinkles you would use on a cupcake.

STEP 1 After applying a base coat, apply 2-3 layers of the coloured polish of your choice.

 

     STEP 2 You'll want to lay something like a piece of paper down underneath to catch all the excess beads. Here comes the fun part; while your polish is still tacky, pour the beads over your entire nail. 

     STEP 3 Gently tap the edges of your nail to get rid of extra beads. You'll also want to clean up the edges and fill in any missing spots with a few beads.

    STEP 4 After apply the beads, you'll need to paint on two or more layers of top coat so that the beads hold in place and are strong.

    Tip Top Tip: Top coat may remove some of the dye from the beads, but don't worry, call it a 'gradient' look and you're set!
