Applying Swarovski crystals

[HelenKnight]

What would you recommend for applying the crystals so they last? I use CND and the Gel Bottle colours and only work with natural nails.
TIA

I apply my top coat them remove the shine from where I’ll apply the crystals.
I use tip adhesive to apply the crystals and once dry top coat again and use a detailer brush to go around all the crystals

Depends on size and type of crystal. For normal flat crystal I will put it in a wet gel then cure then go in edge of crystal with more gel to make sure edges are sealed so hair or material not get stuck in it.

I use Ugly Duckling Schtik it it works the best

I stick mine in base coat and seal with top coat around the edges

If you're using the Gel Bottle, I would use their BIAB using the technique below
