- Gel Base Coat
- Deep Sapphire Blue Gel Polish
- Assorted Iridescent Rhinestones (various sizes)
- Rhinestone Adhesive Gel or Strong Builder Gel
- No-Wipe High-Gloss Gel Top Coat
- UV/LED Curing Lamp
- Prep nails by shaping, buffing, and applying dehydrator/primer. Apply one coat of gel base coat and cure.
- Apply two thin, even coats of Deep Sapphire Blue gel polish, curing after each coat to achieve a rich, opaque base.
- Strategically apply small dots of rhinestone adhesive gel where you wish to place your crystals. Use a wax-tipped tool to carefully pick up and place assorted iridescent rhinestones onto the wet adhesive, creating a desired pattern. Cure briefly to secure.
- Carefully apply a no-wipe high-gloss gel top coat, sealing around the base of each rhinestone without covering its facets to maintain maximum sparkle. Ensure edges are sealed to prevent lifting.
- Perform a final, thorough cure under the UV/LED lamp according to product instructions for maximum durability and a photo-real shine.
- Cleanse any tacky residue if not using a no-wipe topcoat, and finish with cuticle oil.
Expert Tip
For that 'photo-real' finish, ensure your base color is perfectly smooth and opaque before adding embellishments. Use a precise, fine-tipped brush to apply top coat around the gems without dulling their sparkle or creating bulky layers.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do these embellished nails typically last?
With proper application and aftercare, these professional salon-quality gel and crystal nails can last 3-4 weeks, retaining their shine and securing the embellishments.
Can I get this design at home if I'm not a professional?
Due to the precision required for crystal placement and the 'photo-real' finish, this design is best executed by an Advanced nail artist or a trained professional to achieve salon-quality results.
Are the crystals reusable or do they fall off easily?
The crystals are typically designed for single-use per application. With correct adhesive and topcoat sealing, they are very secure and shouldn't fall off easily with normal wear.
Will the 3D embellishments snag on clothing or hair?
While the design has a 3D texture, a professional application ensures the embellishments are sealed as smoothly as possible, minimizing snags. However, extra care is always recommended.
Can I choose different colors for the base and crystals?
Absolutely! This design is highly customizable. We can work together to select a base color and crystal combination that perfectly suits your personal style and occasion.
Is this design comfortable for daily wear?
Yes, once applied and cured, the embellishments are smooth and secure. While they add a slight texture, most clients find them comfortable for daily activities after a short adjustment period.
Aftercare Tips
- ✓Apply cuticle oil daily to keep cuticles hydrated and healthy, promoting nail growth.
- ✓Be gentle with your nails, especially when dressing or handling objects to protect the embellishments.
- ✓Avoid prolonged exposure to extremely hot water directly after application to ensure optimal curing and adhesion.
Safe Removal
- 1.Gently file off the top coat and any bulky embellishments to break the seal.
- 2.Soak nails in 100% acetone, wrapping each nail in foil, for 10-15 minutes.
- 3.Carefully push off softened gel and embellishments with an orange wood stick, then buff gently.
