Bad Romance Video ‘Walk, Walk, Fashion, Baby’ McQueen Outfit: I’m back from a week off, this time with a follower-requested design! So, these ended up being unintentionally trendy.  The new thing is “Caviar” nails, which is just polish coated in micro beads.  You can buy a manicure set for $25 or, do what I did, and pick up some micro beads at Michael’s for $4!

Colors & Materials Used: Base coat of Sea How Far You Go antique gold (Nicole by OPI), coating of gold micro beads, and gold glitter topcoat. 

The trick for using these beads is to lay on a thick coat of your base polish to press the beads into, then follow with a few thick topcoats.  If you’re wondering what the white part on the thumb is, it’s the negative space to make the nail look like McQueen’s iconic armadillo shoe: as seen in the video!
