Swarovski Crystals we offer for your nail art are loose crystal elements with Platinum Foiling on the back for extra brilliance and protection.
The XILION Rose is the most brilliant cut on the market.
Available in different sizes from SS4 to SS14.
How to apply:
1. Can be applied on nail glue or regular polish. But this method will not provide you with long wear of the crystals.
2. Professional application:
We recommend applying Crystals on dispersion (sticky) layer of Soak-off gel polish. This method will provide you with longer wear of the Crystals, plus you or your client will be able to remove them and save for the next application if needed.
Steps:
a. Finish you nail design (nail enhancement, overlay or gel polish overlay).
b. Apply a layer of ReformA Top Gel Polish (do NOT cure), place your crystals over dispersion (sticky) layer of Top Gel Polish (If you using big crystals or too many crystals at once, do not apply Top Gel over whole nail, just put a drop under each crystal and cure them one after another). Cure it.
c. Apply additional Top Gel polish all around the crystals (if you used few crystals) into Top Gel Polish and go around the body of the crystals and in between the crystals to provide a better sealing of the crystals. Cure it.
*You can seal all the Crystals (meaning application of gel polish layer over the crystals) with additional layer of Top gel polish for even longer wear, BUT* as all the shine of the crystal comes from the cut of the numerous facets and when applying a Top gel coat over the crystal it smoothes all the edges of the each facet, you will lose some shine of the Crystal.
Removal:
You can soak off gel polish and remove the crystals or you can use a sharp instrument to detach a crystal from the soak off layer.
