Rs.499.00

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. 

Types & Characteristics

Here are the main varieties and features to consider:

Feature Description
Material Crystal (high quality), glass, acrylic/plastic. Crystal and glass have more sparkle; acrylic is lighter and more affordable. 
Back type Flat-back (common; lays flush) vs pointed / gem-cut (3D effect). Flat-backs are easier to apply and stay better. 
Size Measured in “ss” (stone size) like ss3, ss5, ss10 etc. ss3 ≈ 1.5-2mm, ss10 ≈ ~3mm etc. Smaller sizes are used for finer detail. 
Shapes Round is the most common. But there are many shapes: hearts, stars, teardrops, squares, etc. 
Color / Finish Clear crystals, colored, metallic, AB (Aurora Borealis) finish (iridescent). Some reflect light like a rainbow. 

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
