What are rhinestones, what are shiny stones for nails made of?

The composition of glass with increased light refraction, invented in the 18th century, marked the beginning of a new era in decoration. It was succeeded by the French jeweler G. Strass, whose name has become a household name for crystals of all shapes and sizes.

At the end of the 19th century, D. Swarovski invented the cutting machine, and the production of shiny stones rose to a new level in quality and volume. Swarovski crystals were sold to shops and boutiques all over the world.

Nail stones are made from classic glass, crystal and acrylic.

This is a professional type of marking used by manufacturers:

How and how to lay out a design with rhinestones: three mounting options

For perfect fixation of the decor, it is best to use a plastic, flexible base with high adhesive properties. It should be thick, not spread in the process, not crumble or crack after hardening. Perfect option- rubber bases or thick gels.

Mount to base, top or epoxy

A liquid material is applied to the finished smooth surface of the nail with a brush, design elements are laid out, and dried in a lamp. In the case of glue: it dries in air for up to 5 minutes, but then it will not work to displace such a pattern during design creation.

When laying, a light rim should form around the crystal. The stone must not sink in the adhesive, otherwise it will lose its luster. After hardening, you can additionally gently walk with a brush dipped in a top without a sticky layer between the stones. Due to the absence of a dispersion layer of the top, dust will not clog between the stones, a bright shine will remain for the entire period of wear.

Mounting on gel, gel-jelly

Thanks to their thick, viscous texture, building gels better hold medium-sized stones. It is convenient for them to lay out not one, but several elements, a composition that takes up more than half or a third of the nail. They do not blur, keep their shape well. Even so, the gaps between crystals or pearls are better to be additionally secured with a tassel with a top.

Fastening to gel with admixture of acrylic powder

The composition turns out to be dense and viscous, like plasticine. Recommended for fixing large elements. After drying, it is not as flexible and elastic as the base or gel, but it does its job perfectly. To knead, put a pinch of powder on a sheet of paper, put the gel on a brush and mix until a homogeneous consistency.

How to spread rhinestones on a nail - step by step instructions

Consider the process of laying out crystals on a finished gel polish layer. When fixing large elements that occupy more than a third of the nail, it is better to walk over the area with a buff to enhance the adhesion of the materials.

If the nail is completely laid out with crystals, it is better to make a silvery substrate, it will not stand out against the background of stones.

Stage 1

Apply base and gel polish in two coats. Dry each one in the lamp as usual. Secure the varnish with a top. Remove the sticky layer after drying.

Stage 2

Using a brush or toothpick, apply drops of gel, top, or glue to the places where the crystals will be located. Use a top with a thick texture.

Stage 3

Use a pencil, magnet, toothpick, or orange stick to grab the crystals by upper part.

Stage 4

Place stones on the desired design points and gently press into the adhesive.

Stage 5

Lay out the composition step by step from a selection of stones or broken glass / Pixie crystals / pearls.

Stage 6

Separate a drop of top coat into a small container and blot it with a thin short brush.

Stage 7

Fill all the areas around and between the crystals with a thin layer of top. The liquid should not come into contact with the tops of the stones and edges, so as not to remove the shine.

Stage 8

Apply the top all over the rest of the nail and cure in the lamp for the full time. Remove the sticky layer.

What is a sticky layer and means for removing it

Nail designs with rhinestones, crystals and Pixie crystal chips

Ideas for the placement of stones differ depending on the shape, size, color, complementary elements and the background itself. In general, the masters divide the layout styles into several directions.

Linear composition

It can be placed both horizontally and vertically along the perimeter of the nail. When placed vertically, the nail plate is visually lengthened. When laying out this design, it is convenient to trim the line with a toothpick or orange stick, like a ruler.

Full nail coverage

When fully coated, the varnish surface can be lightly buffed to improve adhesion. When laying out rhinestones, crystals or broths, it is important to distribute them evenly and press a little into the adhesive. But without immersing more than half.

Photo options for placing rhinestones

Variety of rhinestones

There is a wide variety of rhinestones on sale. They differ in the material from which they are made. This could be:

• rhinestone;
• zirconium;
• glass;
• plastic.

The list is compiled as the value of the stones decreases. But even the cheapest plastic rhinestones look beautiful and, moreover, stick very firmly on nails.

For all kinds of variations, rhinestones are made in different shapes, sizes and colors. In this regard, when creating a manicure design, you need to follow a few tips.

1. Using rhinestones of different colors, you need to strive for moderation. It's enough to take two different colors... It is permissible to use more shades, but then they must be in the same color scheme.
2. Most often, rhinestones of neutral colors are used. These can be champagne-colored rhinestones, transparent or neon stones.
3. The choice of the color of the rhinestones depends on the color of the base on which they will be attached. Two options are possible here: combination or sharp contrast. With a neutral lacquer base, the color of the rhinestones may overlap with the color scheme of any accessories used.
4. The accumulation of small pebbles, due to the increased flicker, visually adds volume to the base, so this pattern is not suitable for short nails.
5. Large rhinestones "weigh down" the manicure and visually reduce the nail. They are advised to be used only on long nails and, preferably, in a single copy.
6. It is not recommended to use other decorative elements in manicure together with rhinestones.

The main rule is to adhere to naturalness and harmony in your fantasies. A manicure with rhinestones is considered an elite decoration and should reflect the refined taste of its owner.

The sequence of performing manicure with rhinestones

Having come up with a pattern for a manicure, you can safely proceed to its execution. For this you will need:

• basic and transparent varnish;
• rhinestones;
• glue;
• toothpicks or tweezers.

Before attaching the rhinestones, you need to process your hands and do a regular manicure. Be sure to push back and trim the cuticles. The base is made of two layers: first, a transparent varnish is applied, and after it dries - a varnish of the main color. Sometimes nails are painted in several colors.

Further actions depend on the size of the rhinestones selected for the manicure. Small pebbles are attached to the base varnish that has not dried. It will be very convenient if you pour the rhinestones on a white sheet of paper and take them with a toothpick dipped in water or transparent varnish.

To attach medium-sized rhinestones, after the base is completely dry at their location, you need to make drops of transparent varnish. It is better to take such rhinestones with tweezers and, putting them on a drop of varnish, lightly press.

Large rhinestones are held only with the help of special glue, which must be very carefully point-wise dripped onto the nail.

After placing and fixing the rhinestones on the nail plate, a finishing fixing layer of transparent varnish or a special composition is applied on top. The second option is preferable, since the rhinestones lose their shine from varnish.

It should be borne in mind that when creating a manicure, it is important to accurately represent the end result and place the rhinestones correctly the first time. Otherwise, they will have to be ripped off, and the whole process will start from the very beginning - with the creation of the foundation.
