DIY Caviar Nails

Caviar nails seem to have become all the rage lately so I decided to create my own. These were first brought out by a nail brand called Ciate and as much as I have my eyes on their 'Black Pearls' set, I just can't bring myself to spend that money when there is a much cheaper way of re-creating the look.

Today, I decided to go for blue toned nails, these are the products that I used:


The tiny little balls are from Amazon

and the polish is a Barry M one called 'Blueberry Ice-cream'. I used a mixture of the two different shades of blue that I got in my set and the silver to make it look a bit more interesting.

Pink Gradient Polka Dot Nails

Today I decorated my nails with these pink polka dots forming a gradient from dark to light pink.


It was really easy to do as all I needed was a dotting tool, a white polish for the background and 5 different shades of pink polish.



I have created a simple diagram so you can see which colours go where:

Thanks for watching! :)
