Rhinestones & Charms

When applied correctly with the right tools and accessories, our rhinestone nail designs will last for two to three weeks without chipping, cracking or leaving nasty stains.

While your clear top coat is drying, use one of our tools to pick up the nail art rhinestones before gently pressing them into place. After you’ve secured them in a position you’re happy with, apply another coat of clear polish over the top. To avoid potentially dislodging the stones, wait for your nails to dry before moving on with your day.

From bright pearls, tiny mixed decorations and clear crystal stones to light pink gems, multi-coloured rhinestones and charm decorations in a range of unique shapes, we have all the jewels you need to create unique looks.

Rhinestones are faceted crystals that sit low and catch the light. Charms are three-dimensional shaped pieces such as bows, hearts, stars and bears that add height and texture. Most sets mix the two, with a charm as the focal point and small rhinestones around it.

On a gel set, a thick gem gel rather than top coat or ordinary nail glue. Gem Gels come as a brush-on bottle, a tube or a jar from $14.95, and the 3D Nail Art Gel 15ml Jar at $22.95 holds heavier charms. Both cure under your nail lamp.

Let the gel grip the sides of the charm, not just its base: set it into a small bead of gem gel so the gel rises up around its edges, then cure. Cap around the charm with top coat rather than over it, and keep large charms away from the free edge where the nail flexes most.

Different names for the same thing: small faceted crystals, also called rhinestones or nail gems. They come loose, in wheels sorted by size, and in mixed trays, and all three are in this collection.

Yes. For the longest wear, set them in gem gel over a cured gel polish or builder gel base. Over regular air-dry polish you can press small stones into wet top coat instead, but they will not hold as long.
