Shellac/nail art help!

[ngawler10]

Im new to shellace : have my 1st 2 sets booked in tomorrow & the ladies would like rhinestones aswell..... Im thinking after curing 2nd coat of colour place rhinestones then top coat shellac n cure for 2 mins like normal?

Please can anybody tell me if that would be best or would you do the rhinestones after?

Thanks geeks

After curing 2nd coat of colour, press rhinestones on the tacky layer, then top coat. This method seals in the rhinestones, making it last longer.

hi, i usually apply the top coat then add the rhinestones before curing so they set when cured. i find the rhinestones dull if you put top coat over them but i think its personal preference. they last well both ways x
