Do not be discouraged if your nails do not differ in length. On short ones, you can also create a masterpiece. And the easiest way is to use rhinestones. We bring to your attention a manicure with rhinestones for short nails.
For such a manicure, it is desirable to use small rhinestones. A short nail strewn with large elements will look tasteless.
General rules for working with rhinestones
Before starting work, it is advisable to do a “fitting”. Place the rhinestones on a bare nail and see how good your design looks. So you can “rehearse” the location of the pebbles in advance.
A manicure with rhinestones visually shortens the nail. Therefore, if the nails are too short, choose small pebbles.
When designing nails with rhinestones, try to leave aside all other decor methods. Too abundant decorations look good only on long nails.
With rhinestones to match the main varnish, you can very successfully revive a classic French manicure. Colorless rhinestones are perfectly combined with varnish of any shade. They look stylish and not vulgar.
Apply them with tweezers or a toothpick. A toothpick is even more convenient in this case. We moisten its tip and transfer the pebbles to the nail.
It is best to fix straziki with transparent varnish or gel.
Technique for creating a manicure
As always, get rid of the cuticle. To do this, apply an emollient and remove all excess with wire cutters. The second option is hardware removal, in which a tool with a special nozzle grinds the cuticle.
We create the shape of the nail. Choose which one you like best and get to work. Remember to make sure that the length of the nail is the same everywhere.
We clean the nails with a brush to remove all the smallest particles that could remain there from the surface of the nail plate. We grind the surface of the nail to make it smooth.
Now apply the base coat and base coat. Lacquer is best applied in two layers. Until the varnish is completely dry, glue the rhinestones and press them down with a toothpick. This must be done carefully so that the main layer of varnish does not spread.
We arrange the straziks in the right order and apply a fixer. As a fixer, you can use a transparent varnish. Ordinary nail polish can make the rhinestones dull, so it is best to use a special coating designed for rhinestone nail art.
Design
The simplest and at the same time difficult is to place the pebbles along the border of the French or moon manicure. It seems simple in terms of design, you do not have to come up with complex designs. It is difficult in terms of execution. It is necessary to do everything very carefully so that the line is even and does not spoil the whole appearance.
Rhinestones are also used on the border of flowers. To do this, cover the two halves of the nail with varnishes of different colors. Rhinestones are glued strictly along the border. Here you need special care to make the line as smooth as possible.
In some cases, they use such a creative move as highlighting one nail with rhinestones. This accent looks peculiar. With short nails, it is not recommended to highlight the entire nail. This will only emphasize its small length.
Manicure with artificial diamonds perfectly complements almost any look. The main thing is not to overdo it.
