A tricky one, Only attempt if you've got all kinds of time to spend doing this |

Go back in and fill in gaps. Use a cocktail stick dipped in water to pick them up individually |

I went over the non beaded nails with matte top coat

Let me know how you get on
Even though I was very careful, the surface colour of the beads started to wear off after about an hour.
This is so cute! I really want to try nail caviar, but have a feeling it'll be too fiddly for clumsy me :/

Well, thankyou! I tried to make it super easy and I hope you do have a go, especially as you don't need a lot of them or to spend a huge amount of money to have an impact..Just tape off the bits you don't want the beads on and stick your nail in. Good luck!
