How to fix rhinestones on regular varnish. Rhinestone glue and alternatives

Well-groomed nails and beautiful manicure have become as important elements of the image as a haircut and well-chosen clothes. Every year, nail design gurus come up with new ways to stand out from the crowd. However, shiny rhinestones and stones consistently occupy the top positions of manicure trends, along with the classic jacket and graphic design.

Using rhinestones has become much more convenient and practical with the advent of gel polish. Such a manicure remains presentable for a long time and, with the correct selection of glue, the jewelry is securely attached to the surface. In this article, we will analyze in detail how to glue rhinestones on gel polish so that they do not fall off. What adhesive to pick up and how to remove these rhinestones later without damaging the nail plate.


The modern market offers rhinestones for every taste: every possible size, color and shape. Often, the choice of one or another pebble is a matter of taste, but keep in mind a few points:

  • Better quality stones are made of glass or crystal, they are more durable, less prone to chipping, and look more expensive.
  • Plastic rhinestones are cheaper, but also of lower quality. On the other hand, if you need such a decoration for one evening, why pay more?
  • Smaller stones are easier to attach and hold better.
  • Don't go for the cheapest materials. Even good glue does not compensate for the poor quality of the stone.
  • If the rhinestone is not rubbed and has no chips, you can safely use it a second time. So for lovers of brilliant manicure, it makes sense to immediately dwell on high-quality pebbles.

Rhinestones made from Swarovski crystals are especially popular.

You can also glue beads on your nails (caviar manicure) and broths (small balls similar to beads).

Adhesive selection

A sure way to secure the strasses to your nails is to glue them. But which glue should you choose? Is it possible to take advantage of the ubiquitous moment, or is it worth getting a special composition?

On the one hand, nothing will happen to your nails from using household glue. But, on the other hand, not all rhinestones can survive it. There is a great risk of dissolving the shiny film at the base, then the stones will lose their attractive shine. The first at risk will be plastic samples.

Moreover, non-specialized formulations do not guarantee reliable adhesion of the stones with varnish, so you can lose all the beauty on the way to work or somewhere else.

Specialty glue characteristics:

  • Rhinestones and other decorative elements are effectively glued.
  • Convenient small bottles, equipped with a special brush.
  • Transparent composition of medium viscosity.
  • Affordable price.
  • Multifunctional: in addition to decorating, such glue can glue a nail crack, as well as glue extended nails or tips.
  • Some manufacturers claim that the composition additionally strengthens the nail and protects against UV rays.

By the way, special glue is often sold together with rhinestones.

On a note: an alternative to glue can be planting rhinestones on gel polish.

How to stick rhinestones on your nails?

You can glue rhinestones only on prepared nails, so first we remove all dirt, remove the cuticle, it is also advisable to polish the surface of the nail with a soft nail file / buff. The better the nail plate is prepared, the better the varnish and decorative elements on it will hold.

Stages of applying gel polish:

  • Preparation of nail plate.
  • Degreasing.
  • Application of a primer.
  • Application of a base coat of gel (curing in a lamp).
  • Application of color (2 layers, each layer of gel is dried in a lamp).
  • Decorating.
  • Fastening (drying in a lamp).
  • Removing the sticky layer.


The rhinestones themselves can be attached in two ways: on gel polish or with special glue. Below we will analyze these methods in detail.

For gel polish (shellac)

This method is very fond of both masters of the nail service and those who like to do manicure on their own. It provides a good grip and does not cling to the garment.

Important! If you decide to use this method, you need to come up with the design and layout in advance. Since in the process you will not have time for this.

  • Further preparing the nail for applying gel polish: cleanse, remove the cuticle, shape, grind the nail plate.
  • The next step apply a base and two layers of gel polish(each layer is dried in a special lamp).
  • First, we apply the top (top coat) to the nails, which are not supposed to be designed. Dry in a lamp.
  • Next, we put the top on the nail, where there will be rhinestones, but do not dry it. Gently use tweezers (a thin brush, toothpick or orange stick to make a layout. At the same time, you need to press on the pebbles so that they drown a little in the varnish. Then dry in the lamp.
  • You can correct the position of the rhinestone using the same stick, brush or toothpick. Until the composition is frozen, it will not be difficult.

Important! You do not need to do all the nails with the design at once. We put a top on one nail, decorated it, dried it in a lamp, moved on to another nail.

  • After all the rhinestones are attached, take the brush and once again run the top over the decorated nails. Try not to get the material on the stones, carefully coat all the gaps between them.
  • Finally, dry in a lamp (at least 2 minutes).

  • We remove the sticky layer with a special liquid (some tops do not have a sticky layer, then nothing else needs to be done).

    • On special glue

    The second effective method of attaching rhinestones to nails is a special glue:

    • First, you still need to do a manicure, cover your nails with a base and two layers of gel polish (each applied layer is dried in a lamp).
    • Next, you need glue and a sharpened orange stick (you can use a toothpick).
    • The glue can be applied either on the nail (with a stick to put the glue point in the right place), or on the rhinestone itself. Try it, see which method is more convenient for you personally.
    • We wait until the glue dries. Specify the drying time in the instructions of the glue (often on the tube itself).
    • Gently apply the top, smearing all the joints, but without getting on the stones. Dry in a lamp.

    Important! It is better to choose a top coat without a sticky layer. Less likely to damage the structure.


    If the rhinestones are glued with good quality, they should not fall off during wear. To remove jewelry you can:

    • Use a gel polish remover. The base will get wet and the rhinestones can be simply picked off with an orange stick or a manicure pusher.
    • Decorations set on glue can be removed with a special compound.
    • Mechanical stress is often sufficient. You can pick off the pebble with a nail pusher or old tweezers. Do not be afraid for the nail, there are several more layers of varnish between it and the rhinestones.

    Thermal stickers with rhinestones

    You can simplify your life with the help of iron-on stickers (iron-on applications) with rhinestones. In fact, these are ready-made drawings made of rhinestones, laid out on a special thermal film. It is transferred to the nail using a heat press or a special thermal applicator for rhinestones.

    To glue the rhinestones you need:

    • Prepare your nail (it should be clean and smooth).
    • Apply the sticker to the nail, heat it up and iron it with a heat press or a soldering iron applicator.
    • Wait 3 minutes until the glue has cooled.


    This method saves time, plus the stones last longer. However, it requires additional equipment.

    Finally, we have collected useful tips and life hacks for you to help you make a beautiful and high-quality manicure with rhinestones:

    • Be responsible for the choice of materials. Quality stones will look better, last longer and can be used a second time. Choose a good gel polish so it doesn't crack or bubble when dry.
    • When gluing rhinestones, it is better to use top coatings without a sticky layer, while the top should not be too liquid.
    • Manicurists prefer to lay out using an orange stick dipped in water.
    • Try not to get the top coat on the surface of the rhinestones. From this they lose their attractive shine.
    • Small stones hold better.
    • It is better not to get carried away with large rhinestones. A large number of large jewelry can make a manicure not only uncomfortable, but also vulgar.


    There are a lot of options for laying out rhinestones. With their help, you can make a jacket, moon manicure, lay out graphic designs, inscribe rhinestones in art painting (for example, put a rhinestone in the center of a flower), cover the entire surface with rhinestones, etc. Try, experiment, but observe the measure.

    Finally

    If you decide to glue rhinestones at home, carefully read all the recommendations. Do not skimp on materials, carefully prepare the marigolds, do not forget to cover them with a top at the end and dry them well in a lamp. Then the decorations on the nails will hold well and delight their owners for a long time.

    And, of course, everything requires skill and practice. Therefore, it is better to do your first attempts with a simple design.

The second variety is more common and available - these are plastic stones. They have excellent characteristics, but can take on a matte tint due to contact with detergents and even from the finish with which they are coated.
Their differences are only in shape and size.

The form is chosen by a woman, based on her own taste preferences. But what about the size of rhinestones is worth considering.

How to glue large rhinestones to shellac so that they look good? Quite simply, there should not be a lot of weighty stones on one nail. It will look sloppy and tasteless. One pebble is enough for a flirty touch. But medium and especially small rhinestones look good precisely in a combination of placer. It can be a pattern or a chaotic scatter.

The first way to remove shellac is to cut the stone with a nail file.... This option is suitable for cheap rhinestones that cannot be reused.

Carefully! Sawing can damage the nail plate. The second is more painstaking. Each stone must be removed with a pusher, picking up separately. If we are talking about Swarovski, then they are reusable, and it makes sense to work hard to use them another time.

The spread of shellac with rhinestones continues. Many girls who have already mastered the technology of gel polish at home are interested in how such an unusual manicure can be done, how to glue bulky jewelry so that they last for a long time and do not disturb the overall picture.

Before proceeding directly to the fastening technology, it is worth mentioning three useful tips:

  • remember that rhinestones for gel polish are already a kind of decoration on the hand, so you need to be careful with other accessories so as not to overdo it;
  • dense inlay is permissible only on one, maybe two nails;
  • Choose your color carefully to avoid vulgar combinations.

Using these simple tips, you can complement your look and make a unique manicure, and not be known as a girl with a lack of taste.

Many craftsmen prefer to glue rhinestones using special tricks. For example, use super glue or any other type of strong glue at the last stage, when the shellac manicure comes to an end. However, if we talk about the issue of persistence, then this option is not the best. In addition, the technology is often not very aesthetic. You can also glue them onto the gel polish itself. The main thing is to adhere to the technology, then the baby pebbles will be with you for a long time.

After completing the preparation of the nail and applying the base coat, you can start applying the color gel polish in the shade of your choice. Two layers are usually sufficient. Each of them is dried separately. After the colored coating is fixed, a dense top layer is applied. Try to keep the product from spreading. Rhinestones in the composition you need are attached to an undried coating using tweezers or a special pencil-magnet.

After the pebble drawing is completed, you can send your nails to dry. After two minutes, it is necessary to lay an additional top layer between the rhinestones with a thin brush. At the same time, they themselves should not be completely covered; it is enough to immerse their sides, carrying out the subsequent two-minute drying. If necessary, the steps are repeated, after which the top loses its sticky layer.

If we talk about how you can glue rhinestones, then it's worth starting from simplicity. Each nail can be individually decorated with a small crystal. This will allow for a sophisticated manicure. Several fingers can be decorated with small crystals along the contour of the cuticle.

Decorations are often made asymmetrically. This scheme of work allows you to get a unique manicure. You can lay out rhinestones in the upper part, imitating a French manicure. Nobody forbids to lay out a pattern or geometric figure with small details. The most successful with rhinestones looks like red shellac.

Withdrawal and selection

If you need to remove rhinestones from shellac, then a nail file and a router will come to your aid. You can also use a manicure hatchet, with which each pebble is hooked. At the same time, serious efforts should not be made. Once all the rhinestones are removed, you can file off the top on all nails with a file.

Further, each nail is covered with a cotton pad with a special remover and wrapped in foil for 15 minutes. Over time, a conventional pusher will remove the coating. The rest of the base can be sanded with a buff.

Before gluing rhinestones, you need to choose the right ones. The accuracy and sophistication of a manicure depends on how high-quality material you choose. Rhinestones can be made of plastic or glass (the second option is preferable).

Do not forget about the size of the rhinestones. Small pebbles up to two millimeters in size will be a more advantageous option in comparison with large "colleagues". Even the most beautiful manicure can be ruined by large plastic rhinestones.

Small round rhinestones will fit into any manicure design. This form, by the way, is classic. Although now manufacturers offer rhombuses, squares and ovals. Everything that can satisfy the imagination of even the most sophisticated manicure specialist.

Pebbles, rhinestones, crystals, sparkles. The heart of the magpie woman of fashion begins to beat faster at the sight of sparkling overflows. The play of glitter and light jumps along your edges. I would like to come up with beautiful epithets for you. I would like to glue you on your fingers. How not to glue? It's insanely beautiful!

Girls best friends

The assortment of rhinestones for nails can easily drive the most sophisticated fashionista crazy. Variety of colors, sizes and shapes. The materials for the production of sparkling stones are glass, crystal and plastic. Actually, the material plays a decisive role in the price.

Plastic is the cheapest and lightest in weight, it is easiest to attach it to the nail, but it is inferior in brightness and dazzle to glass and crystal. Stones made from these materials are not only the brightest, but also the heaviest. So that they dance with bright lights for as long as possible, to the delight of the hostess, you need to securely fix them on the nails.

Regardless of what the rhinestones are glued to the nails, first they perform the manicure according to all the rules, cover it with colored varnish and draw all the fantasized decorative elements. This will be the prepared nail. Gems go at the very end.

How to choose rhinestones

The stones with which you can decorate your manicure can be completely different - large and small, colored and transparent, expensive and cheap. The choice is, of course, yours. But before deciding, listen to a few simple tips:

  • Large stones visually reduce the length of the nail, so you should not glue them for a short manicure.
    Know when to stop - don't use a lot of rhinestones on each finger. Either a lot of one, or a little at all.
  • Transparent, beige, black and white pieces of glass will look good on almost any manicure. The rest should either contrast with the base varnish, or repeat the color of any of the elements of the picture.
  • Do not glue more than one large stone on the nail - it is better to make a complete composition of elements of different sizes.
  • Plastic jewelry is not as durable as glass or crystal. Therefore, choose the material depending on the case.
  • In order for a sparkling manicure to be more appropriate, stylists recommend using large stones only for young girls, and for more mature ones, limit themselves to a few medium and small stones.

Don't forget to arm yourself with a grappling stick. You can take a regular toothpick and soak it in water. The wet tip will grip the rhinestones well. You can use an orange tree stick. There is no difference, it just sounds nobler. The pros use a special wax pencil. Buy it if you like it. Captures any small beads and broths, but it costs, in general, lovely, from 30 rubles apiece.

How and what to glue rhinestones on nails

Well, let's go clearly on the list from amateurish to professional devices and tricks with which you can firmly glue rhinestones at home.

Clear nail polish

There is nothing easier than gluing rhinestones on your nails with ordinary varnish. Only the fastening turns out to be unreliable, the stones will quickly fall off, but in the absence of anything else, it will do quite well. The base coat is the weakest in terms of holding capacity. Better to take a top coat, just a regular fixer, no drying effect. Lacquer is able to cope with light plastic babies, glass ones will be too heavy for him. There are two ways to glue rhinestones with ordinary varnish.

Method number 1 All-encompassing

  1. Apply a thick enough topcoat to the prepared nail.
  2. Depending on the consistency of the top, you need to either immediately lay out the pattern, or wait 15-20 seconds for it to thicken slightly, otherwise the stones may "drain", only experiment will help here.
  3. Use a stick to lay out the desired pattern.
  4. Once dry, apply another control coat.

Attention! There is one significant nuance here, which also applies to working with gel polish. The control layer is applied neatly between the stones, but not over one single layer. Otherwise, diamonds will lose their brightness, especially in the case of plastics. Plus, ugly thickness will be added. If the design does not provide for separately located crystals, but, for example, a whole dense pattern of rhinestones, take a thin brush in your hands and gently drip small drops into the gaps between them.

Method number 2 Under masking glue

  1. Cover the nail with a top and dry it.
  2. Place drops of varnish in the right places.
  3. Either immediately, or after a few seconds, lay out rhinestones on the droplets.
  4. Apply a control coat.

Gel polish

A little clarification just in case. It is necessary to use gel polish for attaching rhinestones if the entire manicure is done with gel polish. Prepared marigold already with base, color and all curls. Here's how to glue rhinestones on shellac:

  1. Apply a layer of top and do not dry in the lamp.
  2. Lay out the intended pattern.
  3. Now you can dry it.
  4. Control layer again, don't forget about the nuance.

On gel polish, rhinestones hold pretty well, especially small and medium-sized ones. For large, heavy stones, it is better to get glue.

Two-phase consists of two components: a special epoxy resin and a hardener. The contents of the tubes are mixed in equal proportions immediately before use. The application technique is no different from single-phase. One of the representatives of UHU Plus Endfest 300, 30 ml, 600 rubles.

The masters advise that in order to properly glue the rhinestones on the nails with the help of glue, follow simple rules:

  • If a regular varnish is used, then the nail is covered with a topcoat, then a layer or droplets of glue, a pattern is laid out and a final control layer on top.
  • When working with gel polishes, a top is applied to the nail, polymerized in a lamp, the sticky layer is removed, then glue, rhinestones and the final layer.

If you regularly take care of your nails, then you have probably visited a nail service salon and covered with gel polish. There is an opinion that shellac is harmful to nails, because before applying varnish they need to be prepared in a special way. But at the same time, such a coating serves for a very long time and various decor can be used as its decoration. Recently, designs with rhinestones are in great demand.

What is the best way to make a manicure with rhinestones on gel polish? If you have no experience in handling gel polishes, then you are unlikely to be able to create a beautiful manicure the first time and carefully stick rhinestones on both hands.

If you are in doubt, then visit the salon, professionals know how to apply rhinestones on the nail correctly so that such a design will last for a long time. Of course, such a manicure requires a special lamp with instructions. Without her, you will not be able to make a manicure on your own.

The main difficulty of this application is that the nails must first be carefully prepared step by step: remove the cuticle, remove the top layer of the nail, apply gel polish in several layers. Sometimes building is required, and in order to master it on your own, one instruction will not be enough. Only after all these manipulations, you can begin to attach the pebbles to the prepared surface. Of course, without experience, such a manicure will take a lot of your time and effort.

How to glue rhinestones on gel polish

Before applying jewelry, you can additionally decorate the nails with some patterns. You can decorate each nail with a separate pattern, but with their number it is important not to overdo it. A lot of sequins will be superfluous. Usually one or two nails on each hand are decorated with a pattern, then the image does not turn out to be overloaded.

If you wear gold jewelry, then choose rhinestones that are in harmony with your jewelry. That is, they should have a yellow tint. For lovers of silver jewelry, it is advisable to use colorless rhinestones.

Remember that it is quite difficult to remove the pasted rhinestones from the nail, so you should not cover the entire plate with them. If you take large rhinestones, then glitter and other decorative elements should not be present on the nail - the manicure will turn out to be vulgar.

Rhinestones are already a decoration for your hands, so do not overload them with bracelets and rings. Excessive amount of jewelry also looks vulgar. The color of the varnish is selected individually - it all depends on your taste.

Step-by-step display order

If you have finished the main manicure, fixed the main background with a top coating, then you can proceed to gluing the decor. It is better to apply them on two nails - no more. The pattern can be symmetrical - it will turn out to be both beautiful and practical. Prepare thin tongs in addition to rhinestones. You can also apply rhinestones with an orange stick, but this requires a certain skill.

You can immediately buy a ready-made set for sticking pebbles. It already contains rhinestones of different colors and sizes, special glue, orange sticks. The shelf life of the finished manicure will directly depend on how you take care of your hands. For example, after creating this beauty it is advisable to contact with water as little as possible during the day.

There are other tips to consider to help your manicure last more than three weeks. Although the masters do not recommend wearing the same coating for more than two weeks, the natural nail grows back, and the manicure no longer looks so aesthetically pleasing. In addition, the coating begins to overload the nail, you can break it.

  1. Wear protective gloves when doing household chores.
  2. Hot water will steam nails, crystals can fall off quickly enough if they were poorly glued.
  3. Rhinestones can come off along with the coating if you applied the main layers of varnish poorly: you did not seal the free ends well, went beyond the nail.

If you handle your manicure carefully, then it will delight you with its appearance for a long time. When you need to remove pebbles, it is better to go to the salon. There they will be removed for you with a special pusher, in especially difficult cases they will be cut with a file.

It is worth remembering what if not to give natural nails grow and rest from gel polish, then their top layer will become thinner, they will become brittle and will constantly exfoliate. Even if you have strong nails, don't constantly overload them with rhinestone designs.

The benefits of decorating nails with rhinestones

This nail art looks very feminine and attractive. Usually they are made for some event: they perfectly complement a wedding or prom dress. But if the marigolds are decorated in calm colors, and there are only a few pebbles on them, then you can safely go to work in the office.

It is enough to make a high-quality manicure and it is guaranteed to go with it for several weeks. Carefully glued pebbles adhere firmly to the surface. But if, nevertheless, you lost one or two somewhere, then you can go to the salon for correction. Or do it yourself if you are a professional nail artist. After that, you can enjoy your updated manicure for a few more weeks.
