APPLYING GEMS WITH GLUE OR RESIN

• Nail glue is a strong adhesive that sets quickly, but it must be used carefully since it can corrode the top of some gems and damage stones’ silver backing over time. If gluing gems over regular nail polish, make sure the top coat is dry first.
• If using glue over gel polish, cure the nails, then lightly buff the shine from the design area prior to application for better adhesion. Choose a quick-set glue and use only what is necessary. Always apply glue to the nail (not the gem) and place the stone on the nail using a wax-tipped tool for maximum control.
• Additional glue can be placed at the base of each stone for more strength.

 APPLYING GEMS WITH GEL

This method is strong enough to adhere even the largest stones. And since gel doesn’t harm glass or synthetic crystal, the gems can be soaked off, saved and reapplied at future appointments. Simply apply gel and crystals directly over the cured color or set acrylic.
Applying gems with gel is a two-step process

1. First, use a thick, stiff gel to set the gem in place and ask your client to pivot her hand from side to side while it’s curing under the lamp. “This allows the light to cure the gel in between the crystals,”
2. Next, carefully secure the crystal using a medium-thin viscosity gel to cap the edges. “Think of it like a ‘gel prong,’ which will hold the gem in place in the way that a prong holds a diamond on a ring”.  The gel needs to come up onto the girdle of the stone to really secure it.
