  • Premium Flatback Rhinestones (various sizes)
  • Rhinestone Picker Tool (wax-tipped)
  • Strong Gem Gel or Builder Gel
  • Gel Top Coat (no-wipe)
  • UV/LED Curing Lamp
  • Nail Prep Dehydrator
  1. **Nail Prep & Base Coat**: File, push back cuticles, gently buff, then apply dehydrator and a thin layer of gel base coat. Cure under a UV/LED lamp.
  2. **Optional Base Color**: If desired, apply a sheer nude or clear gel color to create a clean canvas for the rhinestones. Cure.
  3. **Gem Gel Application**: Apply a small, precise bead of strong gem gel or builder gel to the area where the rhinestones will be placed, working in small sections.
  4. **Precision Rhinestone Placement**: Using a wax-tipped picker, carefully place premium flatback rhinestones onto the wet gel, forming your desired intricate **Rhinestone** pattern. Ensure stones are flush.
  5. **Secure & Seal**: Flash cure to initially set the stones. Then, meticulously apply a non-wipe top coat *around* the bases of the rhinestones (avoiding covering the stone tops to maintain maximum sparkle). Cure fully for 60 seconds.
  6. **Final Cleanse**: Wipe the nails with an alcohol solution to remove any tacky layer and inspect for a flawless, photo-real finish.

Expert Tip

For maximum durability and sparkle, ensure your gem gel completely encases the base of each rhinestone without overflowing onto its top surface. A high-quality, non-wipe top coat applied precisely is key to a long-lasting, photo-real finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do salon rhinestone nails typically last?

With proper application and care, our photo-real rhinestone designs can last 3-4 weeks, just like a standard gel manicure. Regular maintenance can extend their wear.

Will the rhinestones snag on my clothes or hair?

Our salon-quality application ensures the rhinestones are laid flat and meticulously sealed around the edges to minimize snagging. With careful daily activity, this should not be an issue.

Can I get this design in a different nail shape or length?

Absolutely! While Coffin-shaped, medium-long nails truly showcase this **Rhinestone** design, it can be adapted to Almond, Stiletto, or even shorter Square shapes, though the intricacy might vary.

Is this design damaging to natural nails?

No, when applied and removed professionally, this gel-based rhinestone design is not damaging. We prioritize nail health, using gentle techniques and high-quality products.

Can I reuse the rhinestones if they fall off?

We use professional-grade flatback rhinestones that are best for one-time application. If a stone dislodges, it's best to have a new one applied for optimal adhesion and longevity.

Is this design suitable for everyday wear?

While glamorous, this design is durable enough for everyday wear. However, those with very active lifestyles might consider a slightly less dense rhinestone application to minimize wear and tear.

Aftercare Tips

  • Regularly moisturize your cuticles and hands to keep them healthy.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or extreme heat.
  • If a stone becomes loose, visit your nail technician for immediate repair to prevent further damage or loss.

Safe Removal

  • 1.**Professional Removal**: The safest method is professional soak-off removal to protect your natural nails.
  • 2.**Gentle Filing**: Carefully file down the top coat around the rhinestones, then use a specialized gem removal tool to gently pry them off.
  • 3.**Acetone Soak**: After removing stones, soak remaining gel with acetone, then gently push off softened product with an orange wood stick.
