Taking your time with nail prep ensures a longer-lasting manicure!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 2:\u00a0<\/strong> Apply a thin layer of base coat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 3:<\/strong> Apply one thin layer of a sheer neutral nail polish.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 4:<\/strong> Next, you\u2019ll draw on your french tip with a pale pink nail polish. I prefer to sketch out the shape with a thin nail art liner brush and then fill in with the nail polish brush. You can also just use the nail polish brush to create the shape; it all depends on what you\u2019re comfortable with!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 5:<\/strong> Let your french tips dry, and have your nail gems and tool for gem placement ready.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 6:<\/strong> Working one finger at a time, apply a top coat and while it\u2019s still wet, place your gems on the nail. I like to place four gems per nail and stagger the placement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 7:<\/strong> If the top coat dries before you can place all your gems, you can also put a bit of top coat on the back of your gem and then place it. Nail glue is also a great option for adhering the gems to your nails.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 8:<\/strong> Let the design dry and finish with cuticle oil!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Did you try this rhinestone nail art?
