i do mine as an accent nail..... pot one coat of nail polish, let it dry, add a second coat and roll ur nail in the studs, press down the studs lightly and let it dry, then just add a top coat and its ready!!!! or you can google caviar nail so you can get different ideas :)
they are not dull but a top coat will make them even shinier :) i will try to post some pictures of a caviar manicure so that everyone who is interested can have an idea of what it is. :)
