Every modern girl takes care of her appearance. Beautiful hair, a healthy complexion and an elegant manicure are the little things that complete the perfect look.
All women love bright jewelry, and this is not limited to rings, necklaces and bracelets. After all, there are many ideas when creating an individual image. One of them is rhinestones and multi-colored stones. We decorate our nails with them, which will look great on women's fingers. Such stones help make your manicure festive and elegant.
Currently, the nail design industry has a wide variety of shapes, patterns, and multiple decoration choices.
With the help of manicure you can emphasize your image, character and mood. One of the most striking decorative elements in manicure is stone rhinestones. They look good both in evening, bright holiday designs, and in everyday use. In any design, it is important not to overdo it with the amount of decorations. Usually they place either several small rhinestones or one large, plain or multi-colored stone. But only on one selected finger.
Types of stones for decorating nails
Manicure designs with stones are one of the most popular among modern fashionistas. And this is quite natural, since even a small number of rhinestones located on the nail can significantly modify the simplest and most inconspicuous design. This has led to the emergence of different forms of stones intended for decorating nails, the most common of which are the types below.
- Classic. One of the most commonly used crystals, which are used to decorate even very short nails. In shape they have the appearance of a polyhedron, which is somewhat reminiscent of a precious stone.
- Pixie. They are a scattering of small stones of different shapes, which create the effect of small glass fragments.

How to do a crystal stone manicure:
It's actually not that difficult to make. It is enough to take the main color of the design, cover the nail with it and then lay it on the sticky one with gold leaf, sparkles and all the goodness, as they say, that you have. Then the edges of the foil should be slightly covered with a milky color in order to obtain a hazy effect.
You can add more veil to the design or just do a couple of covers with watercolor paint. In this matter, use your own imagination. At the end, just cover the design with a glossy top coat and the crystal stones manicure is ready.

Stylish variations in the arrangement of stones on nails
Currently, there are many options for how to beautifully and sophisticatedly lay out pebbles on your nails. You can completely surrender to your imagination and experiment endlessly. The most important thing is not to overdo it, because then the manicure can look rough, flashy and even vulgar. Below we will present the best and most current arrangements of stones on the nail so that the manicure looks very harmonious and elegant.
Strip
By making an even vertical strip of stones along the entire nail plate, the manicure will acquire an accentuating element that will definitely not go unnoticed. Thus, it is best to decorate with a mono design or gradient nail art.
Stones in the form of a bow
This decor arrangement option has recently been rapidly gaining popularity, and is increasingly found in resources that talk about the most fashionable types of nail art. To make a bow, it is best to choose stones of the same size and color. This decor is often complemented with monograms and curls. You can make such cute bows on several nails, or make them small, but on each finger.
Graceful polka dots made from pebbles
You can make polka dots from stones of different colors, but the most successful option would be pearls. Place them in a chaotic order, and the manicure will become tender and light. It is best to use this decor for dark shades of manicure. To decorate, simply cover one or more marigolds with elegant polka dots.
Honeycomb made of stones
This arrangement of stones is very simple to implement, but at the same time creates a very elegant and unusual design. You need to lay out the decor as close to each other as possible so that the design visually resembles a honeycomb. You can decorate the entire nail plate or just some part of it in this way. For luxurious nail art, it is enough to decorate just one finger.
