Hybrid nails with rhinestones have gained immense popularity among manicure enthusiasts worldwide. This is a combination of classic hybrid manicure with shiny rhinestones that add elegance and sophistication to the nails. But is it possible to do them at home? How to ensure that the styling is durable and pleasing to the eye for a longer time? Let’s explore this topic in depth.
Why choose hybrid nails?
Hybrid nails are an excellent choice for those who value durability and aesthetics. Thanks to the hybrid nail polish formula, nails are resistant to damage, chipping, and scratches. Hybrids last on nails for up to three weeks, which is a huge advantage. Additionally, the curing process in a UV or LED lamp means that the styling is ready immediately after application. No long waiting for drying!
Rhinestones – elegance and sparkle
Adding rhinestones to the styling is a way to elevate it to a higher level. These small, shiny stones imitating diamonds are available in various sizes and colors, offering endless arrangement possibilities. Isn’t it wonderful how a few rhinestones can completely transform the look of nails?
How to do hybrid nails with rhinestones?
Doing hybrid nails with rhinestones at home is entirely possible, but it requires a few essential accessories and a bit of patience. Here’s a short guide:
1. **Preparing the nail plate**: Start by shaping the nails and gently matting the plate with a polishing block. Then degrease the nails with a cleaner.
2. **Base application**: Apply a thin layer of hybrid base and cure it in a UV/LED lamp.
3. **Color application**: Apply two thin layers of the chosen hybrid nail polish color, curing each in the lamp.
4. **Rhinestone application**: Place rhinestones on the still uncured top coat using tweezers or a special applicator. Then cure in the lamp.
5. **Protecting the styling**: To make the rhinestones last longer, secure them with an additional layer of top coat, ensuring not to cover them completely so they don’t lose their shine.
Extending the durability of the styling
To ensure our rhinestone styling is durable and looks perfect for many days, remember a few rules:
– **Avoid using nails as tools**: Opening cans, scraping labels, or other activities can damage the styling.
– **Regularly moisturize hands and cuticles**: Dry cuticles and hands can make the styling lose its aesthetic. Regular use of cuticle oil and hand cream will help avoid this.
– **Be mindful of detergents**: Using gloves during cleaning or dishwashing will protect nails from the harmful effects of detergents.
– **Be cautious of extreme temperatures**: Hot baths or very cold water can affect the durability of the styling.
