However, there is onemajor drawback to the caviar manicure: While your nails may look great, they won’t last long. On the back of the box, it says that they can last up to 48 hours, but my friends and I all had a few pearls pop off within two hours of application (though it wasn’t super noticeable). I tried to apply a top coat to make them last, which the instructions advise against, and it was immediately clear why: A top coat will make the colors of the pearls run and mess up the look. Therefore, this isn’t a great everyday manicure because it just doesn’t have staying power.

In summation, caviar nails are perfect for special events – they make a huge statement and look fantastic. Just don’t expect them to last all week. Overall, I say give them a try – they’re both fun to do and absolutely adorable.
