DIY Microbead Nails

Despite looking complicated, these nails are super easy to do-but they do require lots of patience because it will take you a while to finish them. The key to getting this look right is to layer and layer on the nail polish so that the beads can sink into its spot!

TOOLS:
- Scotch tape to place the beads onto your nail. I like to wrap the tape around my forefinger, then dab the tape on my arms until the adhesive is barely there-making it easy to transfer the beads onto your nails
- Opaque nail polish. Go with a colour you can layer on many times so that you can get enough thickness to press the beads into its place
- Clear top coat. This is a must have item! You will need to top coat at least 3 times
- Microbeads (I got mine from Michael's)

STEPS:
1. Layer on your nail polish about 4 times. While the final layer is still wet, wrap a piece of scotch tape around your forefinger, take a bead and place each bead on your nails one by one. *Remember to press the beads
2. Once the final layer is dry, seal the beads in place by top coating your nails another 3-4 layers

And that's it! Now you just have to play the waiting game.
