This is especially true if you work with your hands a lot at work or at home. The closer your stones are to the tips of your nails, the more likely it is that you’ll bump into something and knock them off.

Place your stones: We already said this earlier, but it’s worth mentioning again - If you’re not used to rhinestones on your nails or if you want them to last a really long time, consider placing your stones closer to your cuticle.

If you take baths or swim often, limit the amount of time your nails spend soaking in the water.

Protect your stones: When you wash dishes (or wash your hair), consider wearing gloves to protect your stones from unnecessary water damage.

Quick Tip: Even though you don’t want to apply a top coat on the stones, applying the top coat close to and around the stones can help lock them into place even more. Applying a top coat on top of your stones will seriously reduce their sparkle and make them look cloudy. You’ll want to apply the top coat around the stones and never on top of the stones (so if your entire nail is covered in stones, skip this part).

If you’re working from home and don’t have a lamp, we recommend using a nail polish top coat to apply the rhinestones (but keep in mind, this won’t last as long as the gel adhesive will).Ĭheck out our full nail rhinestone collection - complete with applicator and adhesive. Once the rhinestones are applied, cure the nail under your LED lamp. Quick Tip: If you don’t have a rhinestone applicator or wax pencil, you can use tweezers to pick up the stones and a toothpick to position them. Place the rhinestone on your nail, and if necessary, use the tip of your applicator to gently correct the stone’s positioning.

Using your rhinestone applicator, pick up a stone with the wax end. Plus, when you work with thicker adhesives, you may notice that lots of product tends to build up around the stones. This can be more difficult to work with and may only be necessary if you’re working with really large, heavy gems. This usually comes in a jar and has a consistency similar to hot glue or jelly. Quick Tip: Some people like to use a thicker substance to apply rhinestones. This will help ensure the rhinestones stay in place. We recommend applying the adhesive one nail at a time and then curing once you’re happy with your placement. You don’t need to apply it to the entire nail.

Once you’re ready to apply your rhinestones, start by applying a layer of rhinestone adhesive to the area where your rhinestones will be placed.
