Selecting the right nail art rhinestones:

When it comes to making a nail design pop, you want your rhinestones to be appropriate for the effect you have in mind. For one thing, there are rhinestones of all different sizes and shapes – and not just round ones: there are also rhinestones that are shaped like teardrops or marquise. You will also find rhinestones of many different colours – from bold and bright pink to elegant gold or understated taupe. Whether you go bright or understated, you will want to consider how the size of your rhinestones relates to the size of your nail’s surface area. Your pedicure needs to be in proportion and balanced.

Mastering the application of nail art rhinestones:

Rhinestones on your nails requires a steady hand and a little patience, so you want to start with a clean, dry nail surface. Dab a tiny bit of nail glue or topcoat wherever you’d like to apply a rhinestone with a dotting tool or tweezers; rest the rhinestone on the glue or topcoat where you’d like it to go, then move it around as needed; let it dry completely before finishing with a clear topcoat over the entire nail, including the rhinestone, so the topcoat will seal it on.

Maintenance tips for long-lasting shine:

To keep that shine, never use acetone or other chemicals to remove your nail art, and never use an abrasive polish or scrub to clean your nails or remove the polish. When doing the dishes or other chores that might harm your rhinestones, be sure to wear gloves. Apply a clear topcoat to your nails regularly to keep your rhinestones in place or to make sure that they don’t come loose. Nail rhinestones can last for a couple of weeks if you take the time to care for them so that they keep their shine. If you follow these steps, your manicure should last much longer than it would if your rhinestones were dull and falling off.

Rhinestones for nail art are great because they can be used in so many different designs – here’s a closer look at some popular ones: Minimalist placements (using only single rhinestone as the accent on an otherwise plain manicure) and maximalist (when the whole surface of nails is covered with glitter) are the current trends. Ombre effect (gradual changing colour or size of the rhinestones) creates a simple and tasteful look. The popular trend requires combining rhinestones with themed designs (for example floral pattern, or geometric figures) to create a three-dimensional effect.

Health considerations when using nail art rhinestones:

Nail art rhinestones can make a mani even more beautiful, but make sure to follow health guidelines when using them to avoid damaging your nails. Remember to always use non-toxic nail adhesive, and remove the rhinestones gently, not pulling or forcing the rhinestone from the nail. This can damage the nail bed. Also, give your nails a break. Plan ahead and make sure your nails have time to recover between manicures so they can rest and breathe. By following these simple guidelines, you can keep your nails healthy and beautiful with your rhinestones.
