Super Simple DIY Caviar Manicure

What you’ll need:

-a plate (although it’s easy, it’s a little messy)
-a mini teaspoon of some sort to pour the beads on the nails
-nail polish of your choice
-microbeads of your choice

 

Today I’m going for a “pink candied” look. White polish and hot pink micobeads. Super fun to wear in the Spring & Summer months!

I used two coats of NYC nail polish in white…

Pour beads onto the nail and make sure to cover the entire nail…

Pat down very lightly so the beads have something to stick to…

Clean up was fairly easy. I poured the beads from the plate to a mini bowl then into a mini funnel…

Top coat is optional. I recommend using one as long as the polish and beads are the same color. If not, the color of the beads will bleed a bit and be noticeable on a light colored polish like white.

The final result…

Small Earring Haul a la Forever 21

I went to the Mall yesterday to pick up a few more ditties for my
lovely friend Katrina.I was hoping to find some cute statement
necklaces but they has NOTHING great–everything was so tacky–overly
“knotted” or overly feather’d-ugh. I did manage to get some cute
pieces though…I bought us some matching earrings :D

I’ve really been into post earrings lately–I quite like the oversized ones.

Especially these turquoise and silver ones from Forever 21–they look
very vintage.

I’ve been obsessed with cobalt blue and fell in love with these
delicate little pear shaped earrings. You don’t see this color every
day–these look faux sapphire in the photo but in the light, they’re
very much cobalt.

I’ve always wanted oversized pearls with little diamond accents on
them–the bows & faux diamonds look so feminine and posh.

These pink  floral earrings looked quite unique to me. I’ve never seen
anything like them–I love the delicate pearls that help to detail the
flower.

These immediately caught my eye–the faux emerald cut gems–red &
pinks–can be used for a holiday party or Valentine’s Day!
