Black Matte Mix

This is a mixture of different approaches to black. Initially I planned to have only the shiny French on
matte black. Then I saw the caviar in my box and then it all got mixed. 

What makes it special: The mix of matte and shiny all created with black

How long it lasts: About three days. I find the caviar very hard to handle. 

To cook this look you need:

• 3 kitties
• Base coat (optional)
• Black nail polish
• Matte nail polish
• Top coat
• Dotting tool or anything that helps you make dots (optional)
• Nail caviar in black
• French tips tape (optional)

Steps:

• Apply base coat (I do it, otherwise the nail becomes very dark because of the black nail polish) and wait to dry
• Apply one layer of black nail polish and wait to dry

Caviar:

• Having the first layer of black nail polish, select which fingers do you want to have the caviar.
• Apply second layer of black nail polish on one of them.
• Immediately - while still wet dip the nail in the caviar glass/box
• Carefully press the caviar pigment to the nail. The wet nail polish works as a glue.
• Apply top coat. It will help the caviar stay there.
• Repeat with other finger(s)

Then apply second layer of black nail polish to the rst of the fingers and wait to dry.

Water drops effect:

• Apply a coat of matte nail polish on selected fingers. Wait to dry.
• Dip the dotting tool in the black nail polish and make small dots with it on the matte nails. (optional) Alternatively you can make drops with the nail polish brush but this never works with me. 

French Matte:

• Apply a coat of matte nail polish on selected fingers. Wait to dry. Seriously. Wait to dry.
• Put the French tip tape (optional) or draw a line with the black nail polish
