• Incorporating your wedding colors into the jewel design.

Your bridal nails should be as unique and stunning as your wedding.

Jewel-Embellished Nail Art for Short Nails

Short nails don’t have to be an obstacle to nail art. You can look just as sparkly and bedazzled on short nails as you could on long nails, as long as you know how to place jewels correctly.

Begin with smaller beads, placing them strategically to create the illusion of extended tips. Ombre the length of your nail, base, or tip; your choice.

Setting it with a top coat is the best way to ensure the longevity of your jewels and will also add a lovely glossy finish to your work.

Consider nail glue for a firmer hold if you are using larger jewels, like those used in sparkle flicks.

Mixing Jewel Sizes and Colors

After mixing the size and color of jewels, your nail designs will quickly take on a brand-new look with depth and a sense of intrigue.

Here are a few jewel selection tips and application techniques:

• Put in big gems and little gems alternately. Big gems attract attention, whereas little gems fill up the gaps.
• Play with color. Don’t stick to one hue. A mishmash of jeweled tones can be a thing of beauty. 
• Apply jewels using techniques such as tweezers for delicate work or a dotting tool to push.

• Layer your stones. Play with different arrangements; stack smaller stones over larger stones for a 3D look.
