"The girl's best friends are diamonds" - a phrase well known to many. And indeed, the mysterious flickering of precious stones can surprisingly emphasize the mystery of female nature.

Manicure ideas with rhinestones for short nails

  1. Minimalism . A choice for conservative ladies or for those who simply want to make a spectacular, but casual manicure. In a minimalistic design, you can decorate each nail with a single medium-sized crystal, or place two or three smaller ones. Rhinestones help to emphasize any pattern on the nail: place the crystal on the point of the triangle or in the center of the semicircle, if this is a classic moon manicure. Especially elegantly look oblong stones, placed on a single-colored manicure of pastel tones.
  2. Lunar manicure with rhinestones on short nails. There is a lot of room for imagination here, with a fairly restrained final result. Arrange the crystals in one row along the cuticle line, lay out in the form of a triangle, ball or semicircle. To add colors, in the place where the rhinestones will be placed, you can apply a contrast lacquer.
  3. All to one . Also a very common version of a beautiful manicure with rhinestones on short nails - their location is only on one or two fingers. In this case, you can not limit yourself and pour crystals on the plate partially or even completely. It will look original and if in the manicure the same fingers are covered with another varnish.
  4. Compositions of crystals . This is the most complex, but also the most effective manicure with rhinestones for short nails - at home, alone, this is not done. The length of the nails in this case softens the brightness of the picture, adapting the crystals for everyday life. But the choice of color should be carefully considered: on colorless, beige or pale pink varnish, the rhinestones will look gently and lightly, but on contrasting and bright colors - defiantly and aggressively.
  5. French manicure with rhinestones on short nails. The idea is to emphasize or even create a line of "smiles" with the help of rhinestones. It is not necessary to do this on each finger - you can focus only on a few. For labor everyday life is not recommended to cover the entire width of the "smile" with stones. The fact is that the edge of the nail plate is the most vulnerable and the rhinestones can quickly crumble, making the manicure untidy. It looks beautiful manicure with a contrasting color strip, where the rhinestones separate it from the main part of the nail.

Types of rhinestones and methods of attachment

Rhinestones can be plastic or glass. The first are cheaper and easier to attach to the nails. In addition, plastic crystals are lighter, so they usually last longer. Glass stones are more expensive, but their appearance is more noble. Strong crystals usually attach to special glue, but sometimes small elements are "planted" directly on a fresh varnish or a transparent coating.

Alternative to rhinestones can serve:

Crystals are also often combined with voluminous decorative figures: bows, animal images, snowflakes, flowers, skulls and the like. In the number of jewelry is better to rely on the opinion of the master: usually for manicure is selected no more than 1-2 "raisins" (or rhinestones, or bright varnish, or 3D images).
