- On short nails, do not stick large catchy stones.

How to use black color on nails
At first glance, the black color seems universal, but if improperly designed, it is very easy to spoil a beautiful manicure with it. Black with rhinestones is a great combination, but the luster of the stones will not help to hide the mistakes when applying the main color. Therefore, some rules should be considered before applying the main varnish.
- Nails should not be long, otherwise they will look messy. The average length of the nail plate is acceptable, but this design looks best on short nails. You can make a beautiful black manicure with rhinestones for short nails in various variations, and fresh ideas of this combination arise in every season.
- The shape of the nail should be square with rounded corners. Tender and sensual oval and almond-shaped forms are not suitable for black varnish.
- It is best to choose a matte varnish texture. It will help to hide the irregularities of the nail plate. And if you consider that it will be black manicure with rhinestones, then the matte texture fits perfectly. She will not "compete" with a brilliant and iridescent decor.
- Be sure to use a top coat to increase the life of the manicure and prevent the appearance of chips and scratches.
Materials and tools, preparation for manicure
It is necessary to prepare certain materials and tools in order to independently create a beautiful manicure. The black version with rhinestones requires the preparation of:
- black varnish;
- colorless varnish;
- rhinestones;
- glue for fixing nail decorations;
- tweezers or orange stick.
Black may not be the only colored varnish; you can paint your nails with two different shades. Taking the combination of black and red or black and white as a basis, you can get an excellent harmonious manicure. Black nails with rhinestones with the addition of another shade will look catchy, but not vulgar.
Special glue for jewelry can not be used, but to fix the stones with ordinary colorless varnish. But the stones that are glued with the product intended for this last much longer and stronger.
Before you start gluing stones, you need to clearly understand the pattern and their place on the nail. Otherwise, the manicure is in danger of being spoiled by the need to tear off the pebbles. And this intervention will leave a mark on the main varnish, which is applied first. Therefore, it is recommended to pre-arrange the future pattern on the work surface, and then move it to the nail.
How to fix rhinestones with varnish
When starting to create a nail design, you need to strictly follow the sequence of actions in order to get the perfect result. The first thing to do is to apply the main tone of the varnish, preferably in two layers. Without letting it dry completely, carefully place the rhinestones on the nail. You need to pick them up with tweezers or a wet orange stick. With it, we press the stone into the painted nail plate. This is the most difficult process in creating a manicure. After it, we expect the varnish to dry completely, and cover the nails with colorless varnish.
How to apply rhinestones with glue
The sequence of actions in this case is slightly different. After applying the base layer, we expect it to dry, and only then proceed to the gluing process. A glue dot is carefully placed on the nail in the place of future decoration. A pebble is placed on it, which should be slightly pressed. The glue dries very quickly, so pebbles and an orange stick (or tweezers) must be prepared in advance. After gluing everything, we cover the nails with colorless varnish and do not touch until it dries completely.
How to fix rhinestones on gel polish
Today, most nail design ideas are created using gel polish. Rhinestone manicure was no exception. The stones are placed on the nail before drying the second layer, and sent to the lamp. After drying, the last fixing colorless gel polish is applied and also dried in a lamp.
How long does a manicure with rhinestones last
Properly and well-fixed rhinestones coated with a fixing varnish can withstand two weeks without special difficulties. Of course, if you have a strong mechanical effect on the nails, then the manicure will become unusable much earlier. So that he probably lasted longer, after a week, re-apply a fixing transparent varnish. Homework is best done with gloves to protect your nails. Some detergents can dissolve varnish.
