Hello my beauty CОМЯADES! Today's manicure is paying homage to my Russian culture and its most common delicacy: ze Red Caviar. You may recall my dark and demure Black Caviar nails post from last fall -- the design was so popular that I decided to bring it back and create a summer version. Voila!
Read more to see my inspiration!
#Mmm #Yummo
The pic above is taken from my personal collection and is a small snippet of a dinner table from my cousin's backyard birthday feast. Red Caviar sandwiches on white (Russian) bread with sweet butter is the most typical appetizer in Russian dining and is also one of my favorites. As much as caviar is considered a delicacy in the West (perhaps even a bit taboo), it is actually quite normal and common for us, Russians.
Tell me that doesn't look like a bunch of red fish eggs on my thumb?
Products Used:
- CH Nail Glow in UV/ LED Light Fluorescent Neon Nail Art Polish #13 (pale peach) -- used on the accent nail and my toesies (see below). The gorgeous "peaches-n-cream" shade is perfectly neutral and flattering, while also bright and attention-grabbing at the same time. The paleness of this opaque polish really stands out against tan skin and makes it look even more tan in comparison.
- CH Nail Glow in UV/ LED Light Fluorescent Neon Nail Art Polish #23 (papaya) -- this hard-to-describe shade is closest to the color of ripe papaya, but can also fall in the category of salmon, apricot, coral and even peach. The neon notes in this polish make is a must have for the summer and also the perfect color for my Red Caviar inspired nails!
- Duri Rejuvacote Nail Growth System(base / top coat)
- Kiss Maximum Speed Nail Glue

DESCRIPTION & VERDICT: Check out the rest of the collection of Fluorescent Neon Nail Polish colors (that also glow in UV / LED Light) -- the color range is so impressive!! These nail polishes are amongst my all-time favorites: I love the opacity / consistency of the formula, plus the drying time can't be beat.
PRODUCT: 12 Colors 3mm Glitter Rhinestones Wheel UV Gel Nail Art -- used as the caviar "beads" of my manicure
PRICE: $4.47 (wholesale options available)

DESCRIPTION & VERDICT: I am thoroughly obsessed and impressed with the quality of these rhinestones. The stones are super shiny and sparkly, plus the larger diameter makes these ideal for makeup application, as well. I used all four orange shades and the pearl shade to create a gradient of "fish eggs" on top of the papaya colored polish, and just the pearl shade to accent the ring finger nails.

DeleteWow Maryam.You are simply astonishing and astounding.Your African style braided hairstyle is incredible and amazing. And the Red Russian caviar is finger licking awesome.How about some champagne to wash it down with! A splash of caviar on your toe nails would add even more spice,color and flavor to the environment.
