How to glue rhinestones on gel polish

Not everything that glitters is gold and precious stones.. Also beautifully shimmer, sparkle and dance at the glare of light, small faceted glasses, called rhinestones.

In the second half of the 18th century, a French jeweler named George Frederick Stras came up with the idea of ​​a metallic coating for the bottom of a transparent crystal, which shone from the substrate to the outside through the stone. Thus were created the same rhinestones that we know today. Later, Daniel Swarovski managed to imitate the facets of gems while creating rhinestones, and therefore their popularity has grown incredibly.

1. Bath with warm water for washing hands;
2. Moisturizing cream;
3. Ultraviolet (UV) lamp;
4. Primer;
5. Gel polish, serving as the basis;
6. Color gel nail polish;
7. Top, or fixer;
8. 1 orangewood handle (orange stick);
9. Swarovski crystals (1.8 mm are ideal for nails);
10. Thin and medium tassels;
11. Medical alcohol;
12. Clean dry towel.

You need to gently touch the pointed end of the stick to the top of the rhinestone.to pick up the crystal and then place it in the selected position. In order for the rhinestones to stay on the nails for a long time, they must be fixed in the top, or, as they say, “drown” in it.

Attaching heavy rhinestones in accordance with the pattern is quite difficult for beginners, so it is better to perform a test manicure using small crystals. Dip the stick into the water and wet the excess moisture on a cotton ball or cotton pad, which will help the crystals to adhere to the instrument more easily.
