I did training with Ellison when I was doing my level 2 and was taught to apply crystals with these tweezer type things (don't kno what there called but there a nightmare!) and CND Gel bond but I went to have them done at a salon and she applied them with orange wood stick(Looked so much easier) but then set them in gel(this way was briefly covered in training) and they lasted about 3 weeks.. If u was doing it the shellac way would the shellac be strong enough to hold them? N would that mean that you had to put top coat over them? I got told that you could put top coat over them in my training but she said it really dulls there shine? Could I apply shellac silver chrome with holographic glitter and then top coat and then apply uv gel over that and set the crystals in the uv gel? Or wouldn't that work? xx

Thanks ladies yes they are called picker uppers! And I've just ordered one from eBay .

Here are some I've done on myself ...after a couple of years just using cheap Rhinestones, I realised how much genuine Swarovski's made a difference. Myself and my clients are now Swarovski mad

Here's a pedicure I did earlier on this Summer

 

[curvygirl]

i use a dry stick of spaghetti with the end dipped in water to pick up my crystals. when it gets soggy, i just snap the soggy end off and wet the new end.

i went thru all the gem picker-uppers, the spaghetti is ( for me) the best and cheapest way to pick up crystals x

Hi everyone. Could someone please tell me where is the best place to order these crystals from? I've just put some in my trolley on s2 but thought I'd check first...thank you

 

[Isabellamae]

I know lots of geeks including me get them from scatter crystals, I haven't ever ordered off s2 but they will be fine xx
