Manicure with broths is very popular among girls who prefer unusual and catchy nail art. Indeed, these small beads look stylish and attractive on nails. Girls who are accustomed to a simple French or moon manicure will appreciate a stylish manicure with broths.
Today in manicure stores you can find a wide variety of broths in a wide variety of shades. Broths are a great opportunity for experimentation, because every time a design with small pebbles looks original and stylish.
What are broths and how to use them
Manicure with broths is also called caviar manicure. The decor consists of special balls that differ in color and size. The small granules are very similar to caviar balls, which is how the design gets its name.
Most often, black or red bouillons are used in the design, which look incredibly noble and rich. But the black and red design with bouillons is not the only thing that caviar manicure can boast of. Having granules of only 2 colors at your disposal, you can create amazingly beautiful nail art.
The design with bouillons is one of the simplest. To create it, it is not at all necessary to have artistic abilities or suffer with drawings. Just a few minutes of your time and a spectacular design is ready.
Alas, manicure with broths is not as durable as classic techniques. This design will last no more than 3 days, so most often it is created for special events. After 3 days, the broths will gradually begin to peel off, especially along the edge of the nail. To make a manicure with granules last 3 times longer, use gel polish for the design.
A manicure with broths undoubtedly looks interesting, but has a significant drawback. Large broths cling to hair and clothes, and they can accidentally ruin tights.
Design options
There are several options for decorating your nails with rhinestones and bouillons. Everything will depend on the volume of the selected pattern.
- If you need to cover the entire nail with decor, then you can completely dip it in a container with broth. The balls will stick over the entire surface, and the extra ones will fall off. In this option, you need to evenly distribute the decor using a dot or an orange wood stick. Then press it tightly with the finger of your other hand.
- Having chosen a specific pattern and linear frame, apply it to the nail with glue. Then sprinkle small round grains of sand on top or press your nail to a sheet of paper where the broth is poured. They will stick exactly where you applied the glue, the extra ones will fall off. See examples in the photo.

Manicure with gel polish with bouillons: what is needed for a bright design
To create a manicure with bouillons you will need:
- broths are the main design element. In manicure stores you can find a huge variety of broths, the cost of which is relatively small. Use granules in pastel and bright shades, small and large, matte and shiny.
- gel polish base
- color gel polish
- brush to remove excess granules
Manicure with broths is performed according to the following scheme:
- A base coat of varnish is applied to the nail and dried in an LED lamp.
- Apply gel polish of the selected color to the nail in two layers
- Immediately after applying the second layer, cover the nail plate with broth. Press them tightly to the nail.
- if necessary, adjust the location of the broths using an orange stick or brush
- When the second layer of gel polish with bouillons is completely dry, cover the nail with a fixative
Of course, with the finishing coat the nails will not be as shiny, however, the design will last much longer. And the granules will cling less to clothing.
Technique for applying bouillons with regular varnish
An unusual design can be made with regular varnish. The task is to glue the broths well to the nails. Moreover, on a natural nail plate such a voluminous design looks more attractive. The process then goes like this:
- after creating a hygienic manicure, cover the nail with a layer of colored varnish and let it dry;
- Next, apply a layer of transparent varnish or a regular fixative and immediately create the desired pattern (otherwise the surface will dry out and the broths will not stick). Here you can also use glue for design;
- Cover the resulting nail art with a layer of transparent varnish and dry.
When choosing the color of the varnish and the shade of the broths, it is worth considering that when creating a caviar manicure, the color of the base will still be visible. If the design provides for this, then you can play on this: make the background black, for example, and add red (or golden, etc.) broths.
Method of applying bouillons with regular varnish
When laying out the pattern with bouillons, glue is applied exactly to those areas where it will be located. Colorless varnish should also be applied specifically to areas with patterns and designs, but after finishing the design, be sure to cover your nail art with a fixative to hide the traces of “gluing” and make the manicure more durable.
Beautiful design with bouillons and rhinestones
The combination of broths and rhinestones looks simply gorgeous. Typically, in this design, rhinestones play the main role, and beads serve as additional decor.
A manicure looks beautiful in red, purple, burgundy, pink, turquoise with gold, black or blue bouillons. Carrying out such a design yourself without proper experience is quite problematic, so if you want to see a really attractive manicure on your nails, then contact a professional master.

Stylish manicure with black bouillons
A manicure with glossy bouillons is the best thing you can come up with for a chic formal look. Black bouillons laconically complement evening looks, where the main criterion for beauty is shockingness and a noble appearance.
It is advisable not to cover a manicure with black broths with a top coat, so that the shimmer of shiny pebbles will look gorgeous indoors in the spotlight.
Stylish manicure with pink and white bouillons
Increasingly, granules are used to decorate wedding manicures. White and pink broths are perfect for these purposes. In their snow-white design, the granules look very gentle and cute.
In wedding and any other formal design, the granules are not placed as a continuous coating, but are used to accentuate patterns: flowers or lace.
Bright multi-colored design with broths
On sale you can find sets with multi-colored broths that contain 3 or more shades. These granules will be a great decoration for your everyday or themed design. Decorate your nails with a continuous coating of granules on all nails, or decorate only a few fingers with broth.
Manicure with bouillons 2021: combinations with popular nail design techniques
A manicure with broth always catches the eye. The granules, even the smallest ones, look much larger than the usual sparkles or kamifubuki. Therefore, when you decide to use broths in your nail art, give them the main role.
Remember that in addition to granules, the design should not contain other large decor, such as stucco or large stones. The broths should fit harmoniously into the nail art, and not overshadow the beautiful play of color.
Broths go perfectly with classic manicure techniques, such as French, moonlit, ombre. Accentuate the “smile line” or lunula with granules, make an edging with a floral or geometric pattern. Iridescent granules look great with a matte surface. They refresh the design and make it visually more complex. A “cat’s eye” manicure with bouillon decoration on 1 finger looks no less attractive.
Manicure with broths is difficult to classify as everyday nail art, because large granules will constantly cling to clothes and hair. After such tests, you are unlikely to want to make a design with granules next time.
Rhinestones on nails - in all their glory
The history of nail art has hundreds of bright pages and it begins with the distant 1980s and with an unthinkable banality. The “golden rule” of a stylish young lady of those times states that fingernails and toenails should be the same shade, and the longer the nails, the more beautiful they are. The appearance of rhinestones marked the last decade of the 20th century, and in fact, rhinestones are the first decoration used to decorate a single-color manicure. Somewhat later, funny sparkles were transformed into glitter and special varnishes, mirror or steel rubs or confetti, broths and even pieces of foil.
Women quickly picked up the “shimmering wave” of the new fashion, and within a few years, inlay with stones filled the nails of every self-respecting lady. Some manicure researchers explain this with the rise of feminism, which has overthrown the principles of kitchen slavery, and some simply with the eternal female passion for everything shiny, which has found a more budget-friendly embodiment than buying bruliks. Well, let’s not guess at the tea leaves for no reason, but simply weigh all the pros and cons before making an appointment with a manicurist.
Advantages:
- decor with sparkles is a simple but at the same time effective way to focus attention on ladies’ hands, as well as to disguise external defects and unevenness of the plates;
- an evening out is an excellent reason to get a manicure with rhinestones, but the main advantage of the design is its relevance not only at night, but also during the day;
- stone inlay does not require certain deep knowledge of technology or high skill of the author;
- large selection of glitter. In the assortment of any brand you can find different sizes and different colors of rhinestones;
- laying out the treasured glitter particles is only a matter of your imagination; there are no rules, and therefore no risks of a crushing fiasco.
Flaws:
- the volume of such a design, which causes a number of uncomfortable sensations, including rhinestones “catching” on clothes or hair;
- fragility of the decor in case of poor quality glue;
- It’s easy to overdo it with such an element of nail art and turn a once aesthetically attractive, sophisticated manicure into complete bad taste.
