swarovski crystal nail help?

[michellex]

i have only recently heard of this service and thinking about having a go is there any certain training needed to offer this in a salon ? and ive been searching on a thread of how to actually do it is it basically just sticking them on in what ever design the client wants? also what is best to use to stick them on? thanks x:hug:

I use Shellac to 'stick' the crystals on, using a layer of base coat, placing the crystals on then curing, then adding top coat on Shellac, then curing
Hope this helps x

Hi, there is no training for this that I know of. I use Gel Bond to stick them on.
They are really nice for that added something special

When you apply a top coat - does this not dull the sparkle of the crystals?

I personally don't apply a top coat, for that exact reason that it will take away from the sparkle of the crystals. I have a pic on my profile if you want to have a look?
