Caviar Dreams

So essentially, the perfect caviar manicure should be expected to look something like this:
which I found on Pinterest, and can be traced back to a lovely nail blog called Grape Fizz Nails.

Seeing as how I am skeptical about mine turning out like that, I chose to go a more "strategic" route, so here's my take on the caviar manicure. I hope you like!
As you may already know, Sephora has these micro-beads for sale, for about $25!, (which I think is a total rip-off, I'm sorry)...because, I got my beads from the $1 store next to my WORK (yes, that's right, a dollar for a wheel with multicolors)! so I would suggest buying them from ebay or I've even heard Michael's Craft Store has a good deal too. Don't fall for the pretty packaging people!

My Nail Philosophy




When it comes to nail polish, I'll admit that I'm a TOTAL cheapskate, 'cause...well let's face it; there are more important things to spend my hard earned $$$ on like ICECREAM or Forever 21 (unless ofcourse I'm buying polish from F21 but come on, $2.80, that's a steal). Nonetheless, since I like to have a variety of colors, I really don't prefer to invest all that much. Point of this whole rant is that the upcoming nail looks that I'll be sharing will definitely be on a budget! "Yay" <--- that was your wallet talking. Stay tuned for some cute nail ideas I'll be posting soon.
