The word "paint" may be misleading because these unique designs involve more than that to make for really interesting manicures.
There's a very simple way to give yourself a "caviar manicure" at home. Just paint a base coat on your nails with the desired color. One by one, paint each nails with a second coat and then roll the nail in tiny beads. Place beads in any spots that are missed, and lightly press beads into nail polish. Paint over beads with clear top coat.
This can be found at any craft store. Using it will give your nails a furry look and texture. Follow the same steps as above, but pour flocking powder over the nail instead of rolling it around in beads.
You can make your own glitter polish by adding glitter to a bottle you have, mixing glitter and nail polish in a plate to use as a one time thing, or following the above steps but with glitter. You can also use any type of glitter depending on the look you're going for. Big, chunky flecks give a different look than small, shiny pieces.
You can also create your own matte polish with just two ingredients: clear or white nail polish and eye shadow powder. Either pour the powder into the jar of polish and shake, or mix the two in a plate.
Sticking rhinestones, or any small decorative object for that matter, to your nail can create an interesting effect. It works the same way the caviar manicure does, but you have to place the pieces on one by one. Using nail glue is also an option.
