How to do a quilted French manicure:

A beautiful manicure with rhinestones allows you to visually lengthen your fingers, giving them grace. There are a huge number of options for creating original drawings. Of course, I want to try everything! We will look at what is the most fashionable nail design with rhinestones in an article with photo news of 2017.

Recently, decor made from sparkling stones has remained at the peak of popularity. They try to use them everywhere: on clothes, shoes, accessories. Nails were no exception. If you don’t go overboard with the decor, then a manicure done with glitter in moderate quantities will be appropriate for every day.

Glasses of different sizes add sophistication and luxury to the overall picture. Many people love to use rhinestones for decoration as they can help complement any designs or techniques.

It is very important to have a sense of proportion here, since if you overdo it with scatterings of glass, you can get bad taste. It is also important to remember one rule - when decorating a surface with shiny rhinestones, you cannot make a mother-of-pearl plate.

Short length is the trend of this season

If earlier everyone tried to build long and sharp shapes, now fashionistas prefer short lengths, as they are much more convenient and comfortable. This length suits everyone, especially mothers who have small children.

The short length does not make it possible to paint large drawings. In order to visually lengthen your nails, you can use rhinestones to lay out a vertical line. It is usually done in the center, but if desired, the strip can be shifted to one side. Many people like to lay out decorated stones in the form of broken lines, curls and waves.

How to choose the best rhinestone nail design? Photos of new products can be viewed in the article.

Various decor with sparkling stones

Red nail design with rhinestones looks incredibly impressive. Photos of new products for 2017 can be seen below. The “smile” of a French jacket can be laid out with small, bright pebbles.

The next option looks very elegant. Gray acrylic varnish is selected. The surface is filled with it. Then any plate is selected and completely filled with small white shiny stones, and somewhere in the center you can lay out 3 emerald-colored stones.

You can make a simpler coating. Take your favorite color of varnish and cover the entire nail plate. Then the middle and ring nails are strewn with small iridescent stones in a contrasting tone.

There is another very beautiful nail design from a photo of 2017. New items with rhinestones have become popular this year. The coating is done with brown varnish. On the right hand, on the ringless nail plate, the girl’s face is painted using artistic painting, and on the left hand, the entire space is filled with bright stones, brown and white broths.

Since matte colors remain in fashion in 2017, they can be perfectly combined with decorated glass. Blue manicure looks feminine and elegant. And decoration is done only on nameless surfaces. You need to take an iridescent decoration in the form of a large diamond, which is attached in the center, and small round pieces of glass are laid out along the contour.

For everyday manicure, it is better to choose pastel colors, and for evening outings, rich red shades, black, burgundy, chocolate, blue, and marsala are suitable. Sparkling glasses are usually used to decorate the nail base when they want to complement a festive look. The longer the length, the more complex compositions can be created, which will make the drawing sparkle with new colors.

Artistic painting goes well with iridescent glass. Glasses are in perfect harmony with floral motifs, butterflies, and lace. How to choose the best nail design of 2017? Photos of the new red items with rhinestones can be viewed separately.

"Cat's eye" and glass

Also this year, a new “cat’s eye” coating, which appears under magnetic influence, entered the trend. It can be complemented with a decoration made of multi-colored decorated glass.

You can make a drawing in two techniques at once. The large, index and middle nail plates are covered with ordinary nail polish, and the remaining surfaces should be covered with cherry varnish with a “cat’s eye” effect. Then a thin smile of silver sprinkles is formed at the very bottom of the nail plate. All that remains is to decorate the little finger. A mesh is painted over the entire base using silver varnish.

The green “cat's eye” also looks very original. The plate comes out with a beautiful shimmer. All nail plates are covered except the ring fingers (they need to be painted with holographic white varnish and strewn with shiny small stones).

Mirror tone and glass

Sparkling stones are an integral part of any manicure. If you are looking for the best nail design in 2017, then photos of new summer products with rhinestones will help you make the right choice. This year a new technique has appeared - mirror coating.

The design with a chameleon-colored mirror surface turns out very beautifully. It should be blue-violet in color. We transfer special stickers with gold patterns to the little finger and the finger next to it. After which the openwork designs are decorated with sparkling stones of different sizes.

You can create a mirror finish in ombre style. Two colors will be used here: white and gold, one smoothly transitions into the other. An “Eiffel Tower” is formed on two fingers with decorated glass in light pink and pink colors.

Matte shade and glass

What should be the nail design with rhinestones in 2017? Matte tones remain fashionable this year. The base is dark blue. On two nails, “knitting” is done with the same shade, and on the middle one, a pyramid is built from small sparkling pebbles or broths; one large bead is glued in the center below.

There is a slightly different option. The shade remains the same, but the decoration is done only on the ring fingers. The entire surface is strewn with silver bouillons and interspersed with small decorated glass.

Different techniques and styles

Girls from 18 to 23 years old prefer nude style coverage. The technique is simple, but it looks very original. The base should be cream-colored, and a large drop of multi-colored pebbles of different sizes is made on one finger. Or a pale pink coating is made. At the bottom of the ring finger, a thin “smile” is made with sparkling stones. And on the middle finger there is a vertical line of white glass. A white pattern is drawn on either half.

Recently, acrylic sand has become increasingly used to create fashionable manicures. You can do a delicate coating. All fingers except the middle one are covered with soft pink varnish. On the middle nails, a base is made in blue, and special sand of the appropriate shade is sprinkled on top.

On any finger of the right hand, two vertical lines are made in the middle with a medium-sized “chameleon” decorated glass, and white openwork curls are drawn on the sides. On the other hand there is a white openwork pattern, and below there is an anchor made of sparkling stones.

Whatever decor you choose, remember, bright stones, broths and acrylic sand will decorate any manicure, even if there are only a few of them.

A manicure with stones, like an elegant floor-length dress, always advantageously emphasizes femininity. There is no girl for whom it does not suit, just as there is no case when it is not appropriate. Likewise, a chic manicure with rhinestones is luxurious in its versatility and presentability. The main thing is to know when to stop and not to overdo it with the treasured sparkles, otherwise you risk blinding the oncoming driver or the colleague sitting opposite. Fortunately, you have a constant adviser, ProstoNail, who will not only explain how to decorate your nails and how to stick crystals on them, but will also offer a lot of decoration options, making even the most sophisticated beauty at a loss.

Rhinestones on nails - in all their glory

The history of nail art has hundreds of bright pages and it begins with the distant 1980s and with an unthinkable banality. The “golden rule” of a stylish young lady of those times states that fingernails and toenails should be the same shade, and the longer the nails, the more beautiful they are. The appearance of rhinestones marked the last decade of the 20th century, and in fact, rhinestones are the first decoration used to decorate a single-color manicure. Somewhat later, funny sparkles were transformed into glitter and special varnishes, mirror or steel rubs or confetti, broths and even pieces of foil.

Women quickly picked up the “shimmering wave” of the new fashion, and within a few years, inlay with stones filled the nails of every self-respecting lady. Some manicure researchers explain this with the rise of feminism, which has overthrown the principles of kitchen slavery, and some simply with the eternal female passion for everything shiny, which has found a more budget-friendly embodiment than buying bruliks. Well, let’s not guess at the tea leaves for no reason, but simply weigh all the pros and cons before making an appointment with a manicurist.

Advantages:

• decor with sparkles is a simple but at the same time effective way to focus attention on ladies’ hands, as well as to disguise external defects and unevenness of the plates;
• an evening out is an excellent reason to get a manicure with rhinestones, but the main advantage of the design is its relevance not only at night, but also during the day;
• stone inlay does not require certain deep knowledge of technology or high skill of the author;
• large selection of glitter. In the assortment of any brand you can find different sizes and different colors of rhinestones;
• laying out the treasured glitter particles is only a matter of your imagination; there are no rules, and therefore no risks of a crushing fiasco.

Flaws:

• the volume of such a design, which causes a number of uncomfortable sensations, including rhinestones “catching” on clothes or hair;
• fragility of the decor in case of poor quality glue;
• It’s easy to overdo it with such an element of nail art and turn a once aesthetically attractive, sophisticated manicure into complete bad taste.

Pixie Crystals	The structure and application technology are similar to broken glass
Hemispheres	Sanded, smooth particles with a cat's eye effect

How to do a manicure with rhinestones at home

A bright nail design with rhinestones is a great idea not only for a celebration like a wedding or a romantic evening in a restaurant, but also for an everyday manicure that will make your usual jeans or gray office skirt sparkle in a new way. There is no need to be afraid of experiments, because they are the ones who make our lives more interesting.

We will prove to you that decorating your nails with pebbles is a task that is feasible even for a beginner, and doing it at home is much easier than you think. There are different options for attaching the treasured breeches, but before you start inlaying, ProstoNail recommends that you carefully read the tips below and stock up on the necessary tools and materials:

• a file for natural nails with an abrasiveness of 180 to 240 grit or a file with an abrasiveness of 80 to 150 grit, suitable for extended nails;
• polishing buffer made of elastic synthetic material;
• orange stick and oil for unedged manicure or tweezers for edged manicure;
• tweezers with long and flat working edges for picking up rhinestones;
• a beautiful gel polish of a medium fluidity shade of your choice;
• shellac base and top coat for gel manicure;
• a jar with pearls or colored rhinestones;

What sizes of rhinestones for nails are there?

At the end of the 19th century, Bohemian crystal was very popular among the aristocracy, characterized by unprecedented strength and visual effectiveness. And one of the most sought-after cutters in Europe was a certain Swarovski, who later became the founder of the largest rhinestone empire in the world. The stones literally resembled diamonds and were used to adorn not only women’s accessories and dresses, but also marigolds.

An original manicure with bouillons fascinates and attracts the eye to the tremulous hands of its owner. When starting to inlay your nails, remember that in this difficult task, size matters. The classification by size of rhinestones is intuitive. So, the tiniest sparkles are 0.8 mm or even smaller in size, and the largest are 8 mm. Accordingly, the small size is called ss3, and the large size is called ss40. Are you lost in the variety of options? Then take advantage of the most popular rhinestones by checking them out from your manicurist. As a rule, sizes ss3, ss5, ss8 and occasionally ss12 fall here.

How to place rhinestones on nails

So, all the tools have already been thoroughly disinfected, the materials have been carefully laid out and are patiently waiting in the wings, and you are ready to make with your own hands at least a masterpiece worthy of a jewelry exhibition. True, the question “how to arrange the sparkles?” still remains open. Of course, you can stick rhinestones on the entire nail as standard, or you can inlay the space on your ring finger with them - the choice is yours. For creative and eccentric people, we offer slightly complicated inlay ideas that will please the eye and attract compliments:

• A gentle and calm monochromatic manicure will be decorated with a thin strip of glitter along the lunula line. It is not necessary to use stones of the same size; there is enough space on one nail for both miniature and larger rhinestones;
• lovers of “girliness” will appreciate the arrangement of bow stones in everything. Cute, childishly naive and harmonious, especially if the curl is complemented by pink or mint gel polish;
• rigor and simplicity. If these definitions suit your characteristics, then you can place playful rhinestones like polka dots, imitating polka dots. This method of decoration looks interesting with square rhinestones;
• Another popular layout option is French. Essentially, this is an imitation of a milky white stripe highlighting the free edge. Pink or any other nude nails, shiny stones on the edge - nothing superfluous, but how sophisticated;
• an idea for advanced people - a drawing, but made not with a brush, but with rhinestones. A crown, dragonfly or Eiffel Tower made of stones looks good. The main thing is to choose a dark background on which the pictures will be even more contrasting;
• on the eve of Christmas, an excellent option would also be with rhinestones laid out like a snowflake or a Christmas tree;
• The latest technique from the arsenal of imperishable classics is a decoration with butterflies, on the wings of which you can “plant” a couple of colored stones.

As you can see, the arrangement of stones is a creative process, where you can listen to our advice, or you can give free rein to your imagination and realize the most outlandish patterns on your nails.

How to beautifully put rhinestones on your nails

First of all, if you intend to encrust your nails with rhinestones, carefully select the shape and size of shiny stones that would emphasize the advantages of the manicure and hide its shortcomings. Thus, the design of sharp nails can be done with cone-shaped rhinestones, laying them out on the entire free surface of the plate, and the design of short nails, on the contrary, should be distinguished by the miniature sparkling particles and the overall minimalism of the pattern.

How to glue rhinestones onto gel polish

Applying and attaching rhinestones is an easy process if you are aware of the intricacies of the technology. After reading our tips, the question of “how to apply” playful glitter will no longer arise.

• Perform the usual hygienic manicure procedure, adjusting the shape and length of the nail plates, as well as treating their surface with a sanding buffer;
• Remove the overgrown skin or gently push it away with an orange stick;
• Apply an acid-free primer and let it sit for a few minutes;
• Cover your nails with a strengthening base;
• Choose a spectacular gel polish that serves as the main dominant color of the manicure. Remember that its texture should be viscous and moderately thick;
• Secure the result of your efforts with a top coat, applying it only to those nails where you do NOT plan to inlay;
• Without drying the decorative top on your fingers, place pearls or beads directly on the sticky layer, creating fashionable nail art;
• Dry the nails under LED or UF radiation;
• At the final stage, take a thin brush and distribute the remaining topcoat between the stones, carefully working out their contours for additional fixation;
• Dry your nails under the lamp, remove the sticky layer and enjoy the perfection of a fresh manicure.

How to attach rhinestones to gel polish

• don't be afraid to reuse pebbles. If removed correctly, they are not damaged at all and look no less impressive in all subsequent designs;
• Before purchasing rhinestones, consider different types of color options. Thus, gold and silver stones will suit any design, while different rhinestones must be carefully combined and ensure their appropriateness in the overall image;
• Do not use pearlescent or shiny shellac as a design substrate. It will look at least vulgar;
• You can arrange large rhinestones using tweezers, but for small stones an orange stick or a special cosmetic pencil will do;
• do not block the shimmer of the rhinestones with the top. Otherwise, a festive design with inlay risks turning into nails with faded warts;
• cover your nails only with a thick, viscous topcoat that will not spread during the manicure;
• To make the design 100% durable, you can use special glue, but remember that it dries in a minute and it will be impossible to correct the “marks.”

Ideas - brilliant manicure in all its diversity

There are a thousand and one variations of decorating nails with rhinestones. Don’t take our word for it, it’s better to carefully scroll through the pictures and save the most impressive ones to your “favorites”.

Simple manicure

A simple manicure is a manicure with a minimum of complex, intricate details. As a rule, this includes a monochromatic manicure, characterized by complementary color combinations. We decided to make life easier for fashionistas and collect the most harmonious pairs of shades in color block style:

• black. A simple yet complex shade. Due to the high intensity of the pigment, it requires an equally contrasting counterpart in a pair. An excellent option would be red or white, one of the timeless classics;
• blue. Rich, deep and multi-faceted blue looks good with white and red, imitating a marine theme. It will also be paired with yellow or orange;
• milk varnish perfectly complements the chocolate gel, creating noble unity;
• Coral is also characterized by brightness and saturation, so try complementing it with calm tones like green or beige.

Well, if everything is now extremely clear with the compatibility of colors, then the question of choosing a shade in a given period of time remains relevant. Don’t worry, from now on panic in the master’s chair is not about you.

• Summer. Sun, sea, ice cream or a hand-cooling cocktail - it doesn’t matter. The main thing is that your hands are decorated with blue or turquoise, crimson or;
• Autumn. The slight melancholy in the air harmonizes perfectly with the muted shades of varnish. In use are burgundy, purple, brown, cherry, emerald or plum shellac;

Features of working with rhinestones

A fashionable manicure with rhinestones has several nuances that set it apart from other types of design. For example, the following:

• Rhinestones do not change the design of the nail plate as a whole. The main task of such a design is to embellish an already created option, for example, to make the French jacket special.
• Rhinestones can be used not only for the design of short nails; moreover, on a long nail there is more space for the artist to express his imagination.
• With the help of multi-colored stones, you can get not just an individual nail design, but also give them a certain solemnity and luxury. “Diamonds” can be considered as an analogue of jewelry that any fashionista puts on before an official event.
• Rhinestones on short nails look good if they are arranged in geometric vertical shapes. However, here you should give preference to a design with small “diamantics”, otherwise there is a risk of shortening the plate too much.

One of the most expensive and at the same time elegant stones are called Swarovski crystals. With their help, you can create the perfect manicure at home, which will look no worse than a professional one. Fashion 2017 recommends using a manicure with rhinestones on long nails exclusively using these stones. This is due to the characteristics that this material has.

The main difference between such “diamonds” is their round shape, which has a certain number of edges. Thanks to special production technology, nail designs with Swarovski crystals shine with real diamond shine, leaving no doubt that their owner is wearing jewelry on her hands.

Who is it suitable for?

The owner of nails of any shape and size can choose fashionable manicure ideas, complemented by the use of “diamantics”. This is the versatility of this type of jewelry. For example, a French manicure with rhinestones will look great on medium-length nails, regardless of the shape of the plate.

The design of nails encrusted with diamonds must be chosen based on the base color. For everyday wear, in addition to the French jacket, it is better to give preference to pastel colors, while maintaining moderation in the use of crystals. For an evening manicure, you can use more stones.

It is also important to observe a certain pattern of arrangement of crystals, depending on the shape of the nail plate. A too wide and at the same time short bed does not tolerate a pile-up of stones, while elongated nails will look better with a complex sparkling pattern on them.

In order to make a high-quality manicure with decoration on the nail plate, it is important to proceed in stages.

After the preparatory stage has been completed, you can begin decorating your nails with rhinestones step by step. In addition to the instructions, it is important to watch video tutorials for beginners.

1. The surface of the nails is covered with a base coat. An alternative is a simple colorless varnish.

2. Next, apply the main color, which will be the main background. A novice artist should use pastel colors, since nail design with them is easier than with dark and bright colors.

At this stage it is important to follow some rules. If a fashionable nail design for beginners involves the use of exclusively small stones, then they can be fixed directly to the sticky layer of varnish. For medium-sized crystals, one drop of transparent varnish will be enough, while the large fraction requires the use of special glue. Pebbles should be glued step by step, starting with the largest ones.

4. The last stage is the application of the finishing layer to the resulting drawing. As an alternative, you can use regular transparent varnish, but the pattern will not play in the light as much as with a special coating.

For ease of decorating designs with crystals, you should grab them with tweezers. The use of precious shining artificial diamonds in a French or other manicure design will create individuality and solemnity. Working with jewelry is so simple that even a novice craftswoman can handle it at home, the main thing is to act according to the instructions and take into account your imagination.
