How not to get lost in a huge variety of materials for decorating nails and choose exactly the option from hundreds of possible ones that really will be the best? Rhinestones on nails can look dazzling, or they can look cheap and tasteless.
How to stick rhinestones?
To stick rhinestones, it is enough to have a regular nail polish and a top coat. This design will last exactly as long as the polishes themselves, which is why it is important to choose a resistant top, and not the usual colorless polish. If you need a more secure fastening or it is undesirable to cover the rhinestones with a top, you can use glue for tips, which is sold not only in specialized stores, but also in ordinary chain stores. Rhinestones are glued to a damp or completely dried base coat. The second option is preferable - there is no risk of smearing the base coat and you can easily outline the lines along which the decor will be glued. Lines are marked with a very thin brush with colorless varnish or, if the design is complex, in a different color. It is better to take rhinestones with a toothpick or a thin brush dipped in water. You can use tweezers if the rhinestones have a suitable shape for this. As you can see, everything is quite simple, you do not need to have a nail designer diploma,to create spectacular manicures with rhinestones, a little patience and accuracy is enough. And, of course, a carefully thought out idea is needed.
How not to turn rhinestones on nails into bad taste?
The very first rule looks very simple: the fewer rhinestones, the better.

Large rhinestones are good as an accent on one nail, but it is very difficult to apply them beautifully on all fingers. Although flat rhinestones for metal can help out here. Now on sale there are a lot of jewelry for nails that imitate not only precious stones. Crescents, rhombuses, drops, leaves - they can easily be made the main accents in the design and create a spectacular manicure without a lot of paints and brushes.
