I saw caviar nails on Pintrest and became obsessed! Unfortunately caviar nail polish sets cost $25! I decided that was too rich for my blood so set out on a mission to do it for $10.

All you need is nail polish, in honor of breast cancer awareness month I chose Avon Breast Cancer Crusade Nailwear Pro Pink Power that I got for $2.99

You will also need glass microbeads. I got a set of 6 different colors from Michaels craft store for $6.99. You should pick a bead color in the same hue as your nail polish.

Put two coats of polish on your nails. Put a third coat on one nail at a time and sprinkle microbeads over wet polish. You'll need a dish to catch the beads. I used a square tupperware dish so it would be easier to pour the leftovers back into the bottle. Once all nails are coated with the beads put a coat of clear polish over the top to lock the beads.

Pretty cool look. I can't wait to see how long it lasts and how hard it is to get off.

Anyone else ever done caviar nails?

After night one I learned some things about caviar nails.

1. Don't do dishes. Soaking your hands in water loosens the beads.
2. Don't give your baby a bath. Same problem as above.
3. Just an observation you probably don't want to make hamburgers, meatloaf, or bread, anything that you make with your hands because the beads could fall off into the food. 
4. Don't clean anything

My left hand still looks good, but my right hand has a lot of bare spots. So my conclusion is that this is an awesome look for a night out, but certainly not a longterm manicure. I would've been really upset if I would've paid $25 for a set that only includes one polish color and one bead color. Instead I can use any of my own polishes and one of the six bead colors I got for only $6.99.
