I've been curious about caviar or fish egg manicures ever since I first saw them but I was a little unsure so I've held back - until now...
As Australian budget nail polish brand BYS recently launched a version of their own, appropriately called Caviar for Nails, I finally decided to try out the trend. It was ridiculously easy - literally easy, peasy - to do too. I'd seen and feared the caviar sprinkle application method because it looked so messy (you shake the caviar onto wet nails) but the BYS kit carries the caviar beads in a little tub that you simply dip your freshly painted, wet nails into. I applied two coats of colour for a thick base, rolled my wet nails into the caviar tub to coat them thoroughly, then used the small brush included in the Caviar for Nails kit to pat them down gently. Finally I sealed the tips with a touch of top coat and - voila! - some not too shabby looking caviar nails!
There are 10 shades in the range and they retail for $7.95AUD each.
BYS Caviar for Nails can be purchased online from the Fashion Addict or BYS websites, or in-store at the following Australian locations: KMart, Gloss or Cosmetics Plus.

For this look I used the black Jane Bond Caviar on my ring and pinky fingers and paired that with the contrast of metallic silver polish (Revlon - Silver Dollar):
Each Caviar for Nails kit contains: coloured polish, a tub of caviar in a complimentary shade and a small brush for finessing your application.

LOVE the look of the black caviar nails and they look even better when paired with the silver nails. I have yet to try them on again tbh. Might do that this weekend.
ReplyDeleteThe caviar are a great weekend look! I found the application just as easy as the glitter dust :)
DeleteOooh that looks fancy. It's nice that cheaper brands have made dupes for the more expensive alternatives.

I absolutely agree. I think this looks every bit as amazing as the more luxe versions - and at about a quarter of the price too!
DeleteLove how you teamed it with the silver! Looks so good :D

Thanks Sarah :)
DeleteI thought a monochrome mani would be a little more interesting than all-out black. I was really happy with the result too!
I have been wanting to try Caviar mani since a while now ..Saw the chi chi kit but didn't want to shell that much money, its good to have a budget version as well ..
ReplyDelete$7.95 is very reasonable for these sorts of kits :)
DeleteI'm so glad that some of the more affordable brands have jumped on the caviar bandwagon!
ReplyDeleteI have yet to try my kit out but I've been thinking of doing an accent mani soon. Love your mani!
xx
Thank you Nalini :)
DeleteI can't wait to see what type of combination you dream up - I know it will be eye-catching and artistic! xo
This looks SO COOL but I know I'd be picking at the beads all day LOL. I'm horrible haha!
ReplyDeleteI'm laughing right now because guess what I started doing after about a day? Yes it is addictive too :p
DeleteI think you carry it well, but I still can't get into the caviar thing. And I would be picking off the beads, too!
ReplyDeleteIt took me an age - and a complimentary bottle - to finally try it out. Have to say it's fun though - even picking off the beads is strangely satisfying, lol!
DeleteI am not quite sold on beads. I'm waiting for you to use your ciate!
ReplyDeleteI'll definitely have to try them now and compare application methods :)
Deletecaviar nails art really awesome..@ unique designs and unique concept of nails decorations..
ReplyDeleteGreat Thought..
