Has anyone used this yet? i got a black kit of it today But I need more ideas! I don't like just the regular look of the beads on the color back ground. Any one have ideas on how to make a design with out the beads going all over your nail?
You can use tape to cover the parts of your finger that you don't want the beads to go on, paint your nail, and then pour the beads and press them down like normal. Remove the tape and you should be left with a design.
You can also paint a design onto your nail, then sprinkle the beads on while your nail is still wet and press them down. If any of the beads go outside of your design, just push them inside of it with your finger or a toothpick.

I hope that helps! :)

I like Sana's idea of using nail polish to paint the design first and press the beads down while wet. I think this would work the best.
