thank you for your reply, so sorry what do you mean by stamped? x

I think the poster above is referring to konad stamping, then adding the beads for decoration.

In response to your query, i have some of the Martha Stewart beads, and yes, you can use them to create the caviar mani effect xx

Why don't you let us know what you are doing at the moment, then we can suggest alternatives xx

We were told to embed them into structure gel on our gelish nail art course.

Hi geeks caviar nails look stunning if you do them in gelish structure gel would you use top it off on just the free edge to seal ?

 

[blondie9]

Structure gel with beads, cure - then top it off and cure

Yes hun. I did foundation layer, colour, beads, cure & top it off. I don't think the colour coat is thick enough to set the beads in as when I applied my top coat they were still sliding about. I will defiantly try this with structure gel. Iv got a Gelish design course booked in July. Do they cover the beads then?

These are what I did. I thought they looked great but most simply came off after 1 hour. These are my own & I didnt use top coat over.


I also tried black on a display nail & as soon as I put top coat over it just looked a complete mess!!!

Hi there

Did some of these the other night. Embedded them in structure gel pressed down with gel brush, cured then covered with top it off and it worked great. Hope this helps!

Sorry meant to say that on the course we were taught to embed glitters, rhinestones etc in structure gel cure and then top it off. Lots of other lovely designs as well. Sorry I had not read your question properly. You will love the course - I was so excited at the different things you can do with Gelish - I love it!!!!

It was a video where they did Konrad stamping do a search on here you will find loads some fab ones by picchi. Then they added the little micro beads after. I am so sorry I don't know how to add a link to it. I am rubbish at that sort of thing lol xx

I tried them on shellac looked fantastic but I tried to top coat and ruined it. I think the layer of gel sounds like a good idea xxx
