From year to year women have become more careful in caring and decorating their nails. After all, well-groomed and attractive nails and hands - it is always one hundred percent success. To date, there are nearly a million options for a variety of nail designs that can be performed both in the beauty salon and at home. After all, a variety of coatings for nails are not only aesthetic in nature, they also protect the nail plate from negative influences from the outside. Next, we will share interesting and fashionable ideas of manicure with stones and rhinestones and tell you how to make such a nail-design without leaving your home.

It is very easy to guess what is a manicure with stones. Every woman at least once in her life, but saw such a decor. Most often this is a design in which decorative stones are used as decorations, rhinestones, bollas, crystals and some other elements that create a luxurious effect. Such a design can be the most diverse and it can combine the most unusual technology.

In general, a manicure with stones can be called universal. But here we are talking about their number. When the pebbles are miniature, there are few of them and they are decorated with several nails, then such a manicure will be a great addition to any everyday look. But massive rhinestones on the nails or stones made in the technique of "casting" are perfect for any evening look, but still be careful with large rhinestones.

Manicure with the use of stones and rhinestones never goes out of fashion, and it not only makes the owner's nails attractive, but can also hide minor defects in the nail plate.

A modern manicure with stones and rhinestones will be a great addition to the nails of any woman, no matter what age they are. Delicate and small rhinestones can perfectly complement youth nail-designs, but massive stones on the nails will help to emphasize female maturity.

To create a design with stones, nail-masters most often use the following materials and techniques:

• Swarovski crystals;
• Stones of glass and crystal;
• Brilliant and matte rhinestones, bouillas;
• Acrylic powder stones, made in the molding technique;
• Liquid stones with a combined technique of "casting", most often this design is used for extended nails and perfectly complements service jackets;
• Liquid latex, which allows you to get a perfect manicure.

Next, we suggest to get acquainted with interesting design ideas that you may take as the basis of your manicure:

• It is not necessary to decorate all the nails with rhinestones, recently it has been very popular to single out only a few nails, for example, middle and unnamed;
• Diversify with unusual stones unusual painting on the nails. The flowers in the Chinese technique, supplemented with small beads or stones look very original;
• Be very careful about the occasion for which you need a manicure. If you are doing everyday nail design, then choose delicate shades and not very massive stones that will visually weight the hands. But for parties and other celebrations, sparkles, stones and "casting" are very appropriate;
• Designs with modeling on nails and interspersed with small shiny stones look luxurious and expensive.Just want to note that this decor is massive, and sometimes uncomfortable, so preference should be given to a small sculpting on the nails and decorating with medium rhinestones or broths.

You will also find great ideas for design and inspiration from the famous manicure master Christina Fitzgerald, who has her own brand and her own products. This woman does a lot for the nail art industry ever since nails were not a must-have beauty ritual for every woman. Therefore, you should definitely pay attention not only to this person and her work, but also to her excellent products for nails and their decoration.

Today it is quite difficult to keep track of the fashion in the nail industry, because in their pure form, the masters do not use certain techniques, they always bring something of their own and something at the request of the client.

This year, as in the previous year, the “casting” technique, which is created when performing imitations of various stones and patterns, remained at the peak of popularity. With its help, you can make an unusual figure in the form of a precious stone, and it can be of any color, and the frame looks most advantageous in gold and silver.

Many masters say that clients have not lost interest in the gradient and in recent years it has been particularly relevant. This design can be safely decorated with a scattering of crystals or small sparkling rhinestones. Moreover, it is not necessary to make banal stripes, it is very beneficial to emphasize the nail hole with stones or place them along the edges of the nails.

Also, you have probably already seen this trendy mother-of-pearl design with the help of special powder rubbed. Pearl nails in this design also “love” beautiful stones and Swarovski crystals. Such fashionable design of the girl began to choose actively for weddings and other holidays.

Fashion trends in colors recommend us to pay special attention to wine shades for nails, which are perfectly combined with red and black stones. Most often, these options for decorating nails are not suitable for everyday life, but they look great. Also at the peak of popularity are all nude shades and bright blue.

Beautiful, light and delicate patterns will not only diversify the daily manicure, but also emphasize its advantage.

• Matte patterns and flowers that can be supplemented with small stones look most advantageous. And it is not necessary to make a painting on each nail, although such a design is appropriate. It is best to decorate the middle and ring fingers. Previously, it was considered a wonder, now this technique does not go out of fashion.
• To create a small pattern in the form of lace or to draw details around future stones, it is best to use acrylic paints or gel polishes. Recently, the usual variants of lacquers have lost their popularity due to the fact that they are not as stable, and the various decorations on them are kept very briefly.

• Also, ready-made patterns can be glued to the nails using special sliders or stickers., which can also be supplemented with various rhinestones. This technique is very easy to use and mainly focused on home use.
• To achieve a beautiful effect on the nails, painting can be done with the help of gel polishes and use a rub-in for design. Also, the pattern can be powdered with acrylic powder, which will give a velvet effect, but such a design should not be covered with a finish, otherwise the haze effect will immediately disappear.

Anyway, and at home you can bring to life the most unusual designs for manicure. And it does not have to be monotonous options, because at home there is an opportunity to start over again if you did not like it, make adjustments, or choose something completely different.

We offer to pay attention to several master classes that will help to make a manicure with stones at home. But first I would like to draw attention to the fact that before applying gel polish or the usual all nails must be cleaned. In the salon you can offer hardware, at home you can use a spatula, nippers and a nail file to shape it. Always treat your tools with antiseptic.

1 Option. Plain gel polish coating with large rhinestones on the ring fingers.

• On the prepared and filed nails, apply the base and dry it in a UV lamp;
• With the chosen shade of varnish, cover all the nails, you can cover the anonymous with a different shade or do everything in a single-color design;
• Dry the first layer of gel polish. If it is transparent for you or stripes, then it is best to put a second one and place large rhinestones on the ring fingers on it. Only then dry them in the lamp;
• To complete the manicure, cover everything with a colorless glossy finish and dry it again in the lamp.

The whole process of creating such a manicure, see the following video.

Option 2. Casting on extended nails with a service jacket. Such a design, perhaps, will turn out at home, but more often it is practiced by professional masters of nail service.

• Since the extended nails are very strong, with them you can perform a variety of designs and attach them to all kinds of decor. On a pre-made french on the extended nails, make a drawing with black gel polish. Do not dry it. We offer to portray a beautiful heart and how to separate the French manicure;
• Next, cover your drawing with the help of a special rubbing or with a swatting motion, print on it a special foil, so you get the effect of "casting";
• Next, complete the drawn heart with different stones and rhinestones to taste. You can mount them on a special glue;
• Secure all colorless finish and dry your nails in the UV lamp.
