These were some nails I did for my friend. I love them! I used microbeads and placed them all on the nail by hand. This Essie polish takes forever to dry, so I placed the beads on carefully while it was tacky. Gently push them into the polish when you place them on, either with a dotting tool or tweezers. Once you have covered the whole nail put on a good quality top coat. I used Orly Polishield. Melissa has reported back to me that the manicure is lasting very well, despite the abuse she is putting them through. If the polish dries too fast and you can't get the beads to stay on, use a dotting tool to put a bit of clear coat on as glue and place the bead on top.
The ring finger is detailed with silver striping tape I bought off eBay. Make sure the polish dries completely first before pushing the tape on.
