How to do a manicure with rhinestones

Strass manicure is as simple as possible in execution. If you have skills in a simple manicure, no difficulties should arise. In order to independently make a nail design with rhinestones, you need to prepare your hands and nails with a hygienic manicure.

This requires the following tools and materials:

• Manicure scissors or tweezers;
• Glass or plastic nail file;
• Cuticle softener;
• orange sticks;
• Polishing nail file;
• Moisturizing cream and scrub for hands.

Before starting work with shiny jewelry, let's do a regular hygienic manicure:

1. Steam your hands in a bath with herbal infusion for 20-25 minutes. Optionally, essential oils, sea salt, a little liquid soap can be added to the bath;
2. Trim your nails, giving them the necessary shape;
3. Apply an emollient to the cuticles, hold for 5-7 minutes;
4. Gently push back softened cuticles with an orange stick;
5. With tweezers or thin scissors, cut off the cuticle and rough skin around the nail;
6. Treat your nails with a polishing file to make the surface more even;
7. Make a light hand massage with a scrub, apply a moisturizer.

When the hygienic manicure is ready, we can start covering and working with rhinestones. For this we need:

• Base coat;
• Lacquer fixer;
• Lacquer of the main color;
• A set of rhinestones;
• Fine tweezers.

If the stones are large enough, it is better to use special glue, so they will last longer. You can buy such glue along with crystals, sometimes they are sold in a ready-made kit.

For drawing drawings, buy a dots - a special pen with a small ball-shaped tip. Do not take several at once - for a wide variety of designs, you will only need one dots with a medium or smallest tip. A thin dots is also great for gluing rhinestones.

The scheme for creating a design with rhinestones

The scheme for creating a manicure with rhinestones with your own hands is as follows:

1. Visually outline how the rhinestones will be located - this is best done before coating;
2. Degrease the nail plate, apply a base coat;
3. Cover the nail with two layers of base color polish;
4. While the varnish is fresh, carefully glue the rhinestones onto it with tweezers;
5. If you use special glue, then you need to wait until the base color lacquer dries and glue the pebbles on a dry lacquer coating;
6. Apply fixative varnish. You should not overdo it with him - he muffles the flicker of the pebbles.

Making a nail design with rhinestones on your own is very simple. But there are some rules to follow:

• It is better not to overdo it with rhinestones - otherwise such a decor will look too clumsy and cumbersome;
• Try to choose rhinestones that match the color of your manicure, with the exception of transparent and white crystals, they are universal;
• To lay out strasses in a straight line, use a regular thread - while the varnish is still fresh, make a markup with a thread;
• Very large pebbles are not suitable for short nails - this not only does not look very advantageous, but also quite inconvenient. But on long nails, large-sized rhinestones look very festive and bright;
• Shiny jewelry stays on extended nails much longer;
• It is not recommended to do a manicure with rhinestones on your natural nails too often - this can lead to deformation of the surface of the nail plate.

1. Degrease nails with nail polish remover using a lint-free cotton pad;
2. Apply base coat on nails, dry in LED lamp for 20-30 seconds or in UV lamp for 2 minutes;
3. Apply the first layer of base color varnish, dry;
4. Apply a second coat of base color varnish - this time you do not need to dry;
5. Directly on a fresh varnish, we make light markings and glue the crystals;
6. Press the rhinestones well so that they “drown” a little in the coating - this will ensure good adhesion and long comfortable wear of the pebbles. Dry in a lamp;
7. Using a very thin brush, apply a top coat between the rhinestones, try not to get on the pebbles themselves;
8. Dry in the lamp, at the end remove the sticky layer.
