1. Scrub Your Nails
Before applying any product to your nails, make sure they are clean. Scrub your nails with a kitchen sponge or bath rag to remove any dirt and debris. This will help the nail color to adhere and look better.
After scrubbing your nails, apply cuticle oil to nourish them. This will also help the gel polish to adhere. You should also buff your nails to create a smooth surface. This will help the nail color to look more vibrant and even.
You can use a coarse grit nail file to gently buff your nails. Be careful not to go too far down the nail as this can damage it. Once your nails are buffed, wipe off any stray nail polish before curing.
Next, prepare your nails for the diamond powder. You can find this in any beauty supply store. The powder is a clear resin that will help hold the little gems on your nails. You can also try a glitter polish or powder mixes that contain some sparkle. This will save you time and effort because you won’t have to apply a separate glitter top coat.

4. Add Some Glitter
Glitter can add a lot to your nails and make them look more interesting. You can use small pieces of glitter to give your nails a subtle shimmer or bigger chunks to create a more dramatic effect. If you choose to go with the latter, it’s important to use a clear top coat so that it will encase your glitter and keep it from rubbing off.
Once you’ve applied your top coat, take a brush dipped in nail polish remover and clean up any excess glitter or polish on the skin around your nails. It’s best to do this before the glitter dries, as it can be difficult to remove once it’s dry.
Next, take your chosen glitter and sprinkle it over each nail, making sure to cover the entire surface of the nail. Tap off any excess glitter and cure in the light for about 60 seconds. After that, gently apply a clear top coat over each nail. This will encase the glitter and help it shine, while also protecting your nails from chipping.
5. Attach Some Jewels
Using gem gel, you can attach rhinestones to your nails. Just make sure that you use a nail glue that is designed for gems, and not just regular top coat. This will help ensure that the gems stay on for at least two weeks.
Before applying the rhinestones, prep the nails by pushing back cuticles and shaping. Apply two coats of polish, and cure each one before adding the next. After that, use LED color gel a lint-free wipe soaked with cleanser to remove the tackiness. Lightly buff the area where you will be placing the gems. Next, put a dab of gem gel in the area you buffed and place the rhinestones where you want them. Cure under the nail lamp and rock the hand gently from side to side for better adhesion. You can also use an aerosol drying spray to speed up the process.
If you want to get really glam, you can add some glitter and nail art stickers as well. You can find some great options online, or you can try making your own. Just make sure that you use the right tools and follow the directions for each product to get the best results.
