Rhinestone Nail Art Design (Pack Of 3)

Rhinestones are small, decorative crystals (or crystal-like gems) used in nail art to add sparkle, dimension, and bling. They’re basically miniature gems or stones that adhere to the nail surface to enhance a manicure.

How to Use Rhinestones on Nails

Steps & tools typically used:

1. Prepare the base: nail polish / gel / acrylic, cured or dried. The surface should be clean, dry or tacky (depending on glue).

2. Pick the rhinestones: using tweezers, wax pencil (or special rhinestone picker).

3. Adhesive / glue or gel: Use nail glue, builder gel, or a gem gel to attach the stone. Sometimes you place a drop of glue first, then place the rhinestone. 

4. Press and cure (if using gel / UV glue). Ensure the stone’s base is flush with the surface so it adheres well.

5. Seal / top coat: Sometimes applied over or around the rhinestone to protect the edges and help it last longer. However, over-coating large stones can reduce sparkle or flatten shine. 

Design Uses & Ideas

• Accent nails: one nail with rhinestones while others are simple. 

• Full nail coverage (“disco or bling nails”) ‒ many stones covering the entire nail.

• Patterns: outlines, gradients, geometric shapes made with stones. 

• Theme / special event nails: weddings, parties, festivals often use rhinestone
