# Fish Roe Fingernails The Ciaté ‘Caviar Manicure' is a Delectible Masterpiece By Jordy E | Published 2012-03-21 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caviar-manicure References: [youtube](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYJvFwcbWQM) & [ciate](http://www.ciate.co.uk/caviar-manicure.html) The UK nail company Ciaté has produced the latest in three dimensional nail care with its ‘Caviar Manicure’ set. Through its embrace of a beaded fish roe look, the design has managed to usher in a new studded approach to lacquer, and a bold one at that. The Ciaté Caviar Manicure actually involves a 15-20 minute investment. Users of the set, which is about to hit [Sephora](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-maker) counters, are invited to apply dual coats of varnish. Before this dries, a sprinkling of caviar-shaped pearls are to be applied and further pressed into the nail. If done correctly, this Ciaté process will produce a brazen and embossed look, one that has yet to be imitated by other cosmetic brands. [Charlotte Knight](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charlotte-hornets-facility), the creative director of Ciaté, claims to have received her inspiration for the Caviar Manicure during a 3D magazine cover shoot. In search a luxurious and feminine creation, she turned to an international delicacy, one most frequently found among sushi platters. In effect, her union of the caviar motif with a [nail polish line](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dnd-yes-chef) demonstrates the beauty realm's unmatched ability to delve into unrelated spheres. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.3/10 - Popularity: 86% | Activity: 95% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Customization](https://www.trendhunter.com/customization) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **3D Nail Art:** The Ciaté 'Caviar Manicure' introduces a new studded approach to lacquer, creating a bold and embossed look. - **Innovative Nail Care:** Ciaté's Caviar Manicure set offers a unique way to decorate nails with caviar-shaped pearls, setting a new standard for nail design. - **Cross-industry Inspiration:** Charlotte Knight's fusion of the caviar motif with a nail polish line showcases the beauty industry's ability to draw inspiration from unrelated spheres. ### Where This Applies - **Beauty and Cosmetics:** The Ciaté 'Caviar Manicure' set introduces a new trend in nail care, creating opportunities for innovative nail polish and nail art products. - **Fashion:** The 3D nail art trend inspired by Ciaté's 'Caviar Manicure' can provide fashion designers with new opportunities to incorporate unique and statement-making nail designs into their collections. - **Retail:** The introduction of Ciaté's 'Caviar Manicure' set in Sephora counters signals the potential for increased sales and expansion of nail care products in the beauty retail industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Innovative Nail Product Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nail-products.md) - [Gem-Infused Nail Polishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fabled-gemgel.md) - [Multidimensional Press-On Nails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiss-colorfx-by-impress.md) - [At-Home Cat-Eye Nail Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cateye-nail.md) - [Citrus-Inspired Press-Ons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sumo-citrus-x-chillhouse.md) - [QSR-Inspired Nail Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcdonalds-collection.md) - [Tactile Gel Manicures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/braille-nails.md) - [Fast Food-Inspired Nail Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nails-inc-x-mcdonalds.md) - [Condiment-Inspired Manicures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mayo-mani.md)
