Please help......

I've just completed Creative's foundation and loved it. I'm eager to try all sorts now, including using rhinestones - however, I don't have any experience and nobody to ask as I don't work in a salon.

Please tell me, step by step, how I would use rhinestones with L&P and have them encased as opposed to sat on top of the L&P. I really want to create the St George's flag on my sisters nails using rhinestones, but when I've tried on my own, I've embedded a stone on the wet acrylic, allowed to dry and then applied a little clear over the top......but, when I come to file and buff etc, I end up making the stone look like a flat stone.

What am I doing wrong? Please help.

:sad:

Well do remember that if you are going to embed anything, the nails are going to have to be thicker than that thing you embedded.

Put the thinnest layer of l/p on the nail so the bond is perfect- Smooth until just the thinnest layer is on the nail and gently, with only a damp pad, scrubfresh.

Adhere your rhinestones using gelbond and then add your final layer of L/P over the top leaving enough to buff down to a beautiful shape without 'digging' out the stones!! :lol:
