From Simple to Sophisticated with Rhinestones| Simple Nail Designs

The best part about simple nail designs is that you do not always have to draw the designs yourself. There are a ton of nail art supplies available that will give your nails the “special touch” that they need. A very popular form of nail art used with simple nail designs are rhinestones. Rhinestones for nails create elegant simple nail designs.

Simple nail designs: How do women use rhinestones for nails?

Rhinestone and gem nail designs

Rhinestones for nails can be applied in several ways, depending on the type of gem. Some rhinestones for nails are self-adhesive and some need to be applied using glue. For beginner’s practicing simple nail designs for the first time, self-adhesive rhinestones are best. Advanced nail fanatics may prefer applying rhinestones for nails with glue because they are more durable. Some women decide not to use glue at all and find it easier to just use wet nail polish.

To apply the rhinestones, spread them out on your table or on a plate. Rhinestones are very small and difficult to pick up, so spreading them apart before creating your simple nail designs will make things less arduous. The rhinestones should also be facing upwards for easy application. Next, apply nail polish to your nails and create your simple nail designs. Now, take a toothpick and dip the tip of it into some clear nail polish. Using the tip of the toothpick, pick up one of the rhinestones and place it on your nail. If your nail polish is still wet, the rhinestone will release easily. Press down on the rhinestone gently with your finger to keep it in place. Repeat the process until all of your rhinestones for nails have been set. Finally, apply a clear top of nail polish to your nails to keep the rhinestones in place. Here are a few ideas for inspiration.
