If you really want your crystals to last for a month, use thick gel and fill in gaps with a tiny brush and gel topcoat. If you follow this video, your crystals won't last long at all & they'll catch on your hair and other stuff since crystals are flat and the nail surface is curved. That's why nail techs go in with a small brush and gel to fill in those gaps.
@charlottedodd4673 жыл бұрын
you should never apply top coat over top of crystals, anyone who has any experience with rhinestones and crystals would know that you do not seal over top of crystals because it dulls there shine. The way rhinestones shine and shimmer is by reflecting light, if you seal then they do not have the ability to reflect light therefore making your beautiful crystals look like shit. I hope since its been 2 years since you made this silly comment that you have learned by now!

No manicure of mine has EVER lasted over a full week, let alone even trying a month. This is just contradictory. Maybe the gems will stay put, but the nail polish sure won't -- and who wants to have their nails look that disheveled? Not me.

And my crystals stay out until I remove and replace them! And I certainly don’t put gel over top of them because it ruins the facets on the crystal to where no light can reflect.

@@Jasmua That’s not a professional nail tech at all… Not even close. You always listen to your client, even if it’s the wrong way. You never put top coat over gems. I’m a nail tech, and with my technique they’ll stay on for weeks. I put a dot of builder gel under the gems and cures them. Then I take a drop of top coat on a tile on my table, and then I take a small detail brush and apply some top coat around the gems, so you also get the places where there’s small gaps under the gems. Then you just top coat the rest of the nail, and those gems aren’t going anywhere, and they will bling with all its facets without top coat over them.

byankachan, I use a thin layer of clear UV builder gel and no wipe topcoat on the gel, then I place my rhinestones or whatever bling I like. Cure for 90 seconds and they stay on until I take them off, and due to the builder gel securing around the bottom of the gems they never catch in my hair or anything. That’s the best way I’ve found to make them last and user friendly.

I don't always do okay, but it lasts long a few applications for a few weeks I need or for other stuff. I did buy a $5 one that is big bottle for wall tile, etc project to fix pretty for my steaming art soon so it looks nice old makeshift sheetrock board they put on window ac in bedroom, which I should be facing ahead head on bedroom door, at the window ac, but old efficiency it is weird and I tried sleeping another way I am more scared of bugs coming in like b4 on my bed another day a palmetto again after ages with all the stuff around and such not place to put away stuff so in totes and bags, etc so imagine. I can't wait till I move. Sometime next yr I hope. It should ave been 1st yr or years ago. 8 too long-suffering birthday and holidays here, but oh well other good things though is why I do want to leaven for its entr4al easy when running late for bus, library, etc. I also need to pay low rent income though, so idk. She is no longer employable in her medical tech job and the income tax money ran out so her closet was not finished pieces outside and now her man is gone for good and so it is way wore to get stuff done then b4. Also, so my place as usual never got or may never get done 2 yrs now since she got her side done, plus her side was bad the sinkhole cracks and they cracked my side from the reinforcing. before it just had hairline ones never looked up or noticed, so idk if ok or not. Everyone gets fixed up even in motel demands by people in out and I was there long with Indian lady family taking care for owner uncle and they gave new ac to other, but my mother and I not.
