Of all the six shapes, I liked this long, slim shape the most, and I knew I have to use it in manicure.
As a base to showcase those crystals I decided on cat eye polish, Sally Hansen Magnetic - Red-y Response, such a beautiful shade. I used double sided magnet I purchased recently, and one side will give you straight line, while other end has round magnet for curved lines. I used round end here, and have to admit, loving the effect. Born Pretty Store has this magnet as an item #40328, so you can check it out if you are interested.
I placed those crystals on the nail, and I loved this so much, I did not wanted to take it off ever!
Usually, I do not use any type of glue for my rhinestones - I place them on the tacky top coat, and this method worked here too. If I plan to wear manicure for several days, to protect stones, I just apply one of two layers of top coat to seal any gaps that there may be between the nail and gemstone, and that will assure that anything will come between you and your bling.
I added simple stamping, even though there was really no need for any... image is from Born Pretty BP-L048 stamping plate item #36306, stamped with Maybelline - Bold Gold.
I am totally in love with those and the way they break light, and shape is absolute stunner. Now I have to figure out how to find more of the same shape/size of gemstones...
And just imagine if that base is green, instead of purple... I can totally see the pair of cat eyes glaring at me.
Such and easy way to spice up simple manicure in upcoming holiday season. Pick your favourite polish, and just add one or two crystals, and you will be ready for any party.
