Technologies for attaching stones to gel polish

Sometimes even experienced professionals are interested in how to properly glue rhinestones on Shellac. There are several common technologies. Let's consider them in more detail:

• Use of glue. This method allows you to attach even large and rather heavy crystals to the nails. The method involves the use of special glue. It is applied to the reverse side of the stone, after which the decoration is attached to the hardened layer of gel polish. From above, the picture is fixed with a top.
• Adhesive fastening. Often, after polymerization of gel polishes, a dispersion residue appears on the surface of the nails. It covers the entire area of ​​the plate and is removed with a special preparation. However, to decorate nails with rhinestones, a sticky layer is necessary. It holds small stones very well. The technique involves attaching decorative elements immediately after the polymerization of the coating. After the design is completed, the dispersion residue is carefully removed with a special tool.
• Self-adhesive crystals. Rhinestones can be quickly attached to the Shellac layer if they have a sticky base. The paper backing is removed from the pebbles, after which they are attached to the nail plate. Then you can apply the top coat and cure it in a lamp so that the pattern lasts as long as possible.
• Top fixing. If you use clear rhinestones, they can be easily secured with a Shellac finish. Apply it in an ultra-thin layer on the finished manicure and immediately attach the crystals. Only then dry the plates in the lamp for 2-3 minutes.

Usually masters use only one technology, because each time it becomes easier to attach jewelry to a layer of gel polish. The suggested methods will help you create a sparkling and durable design at home.
