Caviar nail effect/manicure How do you do it? NB MNHQ warning: contains images you may find disturbing.

[Allthingspretty]

whats the fuss all about and how do you do it. I am thinking of buying Marie Claire with the free Ciate set

Paint nails with base coat, then I do 2 coats of colour. Whilst its wet, tip the beads over wet nail (put a dish or something underneath!) and they stick to the wet nail polish
I use a square container to collect the excess as its easier to tip them back in. I only usually do one nail as well, usually ring finger

I just bought this today and the Cookies and Cream colour is fab!! Its a pale beige and looks so good on. Haven't used the caviar bit yet though

EMUZ would you put a top coat over that?

I did put a top coat on but not sure it made much difference
I got the Ciate advent calendar this Christmas just gone so I have a whole lot to play with

OhBuggerandArse - Jesus fucking Christ!

I'm serious! Some of these are really scary.

This makes me very anxious.

I saw! There's not much that can make me feel sick, but that did.

It was oddly curious, but so so vile!

I'm sorry but it looks very strange. Reminds me of the beady liquorice allsort. Why would you do that to your nails anyway? They must come off really easily.

I'd never heard of trypophobia before but those pictures made the hair on my head stand on end.. eurgh!

Those pics are ICK!

Back to the OP... Ciate recommend that you don't use a top coat.

Fucking hell I clicked on that link thinking it was about nails! not a lot makes my stomach turn but those pictures certainly did. Wish there had been a warning with that link.

I couldn't sleep after looking at that link last night.
I still feel sick thinking about it and I couldn't stop itching.

I didn't have trypophobia but I think I have just developed it, think anyone would after seeing those pics.

Wrt the OP, I quite like the nail thing :)

I think I've developed it too. Every time I think of those pictures, I feel desperately sick.

Oh dear! Who needs horror films.

Ditto what Valium said.

And what Binks said.

Dh thought I was going bonkers last night, when I kept itching in bed.

Going to show him the link when he comes home, see how he likes it.

I've asked MNHQ if there can be a warning before that link so it doesn't take anyone else by surprise.

Ewwww...they look like those manky liquorice all sorts!

Thanks Valium

That was a bloody stupid and unpleasant thing to do OhBuggerAndArse

I still don't know what that link had to do with trypopphopia if it is a fear of clusters of holes.

And for someone who has it you certainly managed to post a link well ohbugger

Sorry, this has really pissed me off/upset me!

It freaked the hell out of me.

Blimey, I didn't think I had trypophobia but I do now .

But back to the nail polish, I don't get it but I'm sure that's because I am an old gimmer.
