wow tysm!!

+Nails By Rima Hi! Thanks Rima!!

+Kari Coleman thank you!

+Megan Z right?! 😘

Where do u get it from

I use a base gel, a clear polygel and a no wipe top coat. put on the base coat, cure that, put on polygel and top coat without curing. add the stones and push them until for polygel my stones stick until I am ready to remove them a month later

I've seen alot of korean nail salons use something called pudding gel yo hold really big Crystal's. I want to try it but can't find it online

Me encantaria que hicieras un video con el gel que dices por que eh intentado de todo y se caen 😭

I tried this product. Should I be applying it thin or kinda thick? Even with using this mine fall off. And I hear many people having success with it so I know I’m not doing it correctly.

But that takes the bling away by 80% 🥺

+Under the stair nails Hi! Yes so much better and way easier! I just love how it won't make the nail bulky unlike a builder gel can sometimes

+Donna Cone Hi! The color is Luxa Gel Color - "Maria" from the Diamond Collection only available at Www.luxapolish.com.

+Megan Avila hi! It's my natural nails with gel polish. Check out our FAQS page for tips

Hi, she used luxa base and luxa shine for these techniques. - R

+Sally Redmond thank you!

+Violet Polack make sure there is enough base coat on the nail so the stones sink in a little ;)

+Violet Polack what gel base have you tried?

Violet Polack ok

😂😂😂 I believe there was someone doing maintenance outside of my studio that day!!

Samantha Port 🤣🤣🤣

+crystalstaro8 you can try :)

+Mary Smith Hi! It's called "Maria". You can purchase at www.luxapolish.com

+Eli Za thank you!

Hi! Luxa Base does is not only a gel base for gel manis but works wonders with crystals and small embellishments. Check it out www.luxapolish.com/products/luxapolish-soak-off-gel-color?_pos=1&_sid=ef5fb86f6&_ss=r

sabrrre3 I dont know where this artist gets hers but i have found them at Arts and crafts stores. micheals have reallly nice one extra bling $5.99 for about 10 of them.

6$ for 10 stones is expensive... Just order on aliexpress

Savannah Purple I got 1440 rhinestones like in the video for 1€ on Aliexpress

Hey.. so this might seem like extra work, but it's totally worth it I promise. It's always more expensive to buy "Nail Art" stones than it is just stones. What I do is look for super cheap jewelry that has glass rhinestones, then just pop 'em out! Lol. I got this one bracelet, approximately 1000+ AB glass crystals set in metal posts on these strands. (Very tacky bracelet but the stones are gorgeous.) The problem some of the time is that the stones do not have flat backs. To solve this problem I applied a layer of builder gel to cardboard, set the stones in upside-down, cured under LED lamp, then filed down the tips using a Beauty Secrets nail file. (Any file that works on hard gel should work.) So ya! I have 1000+ glass crystals for $1.00 and a bit of elbow grease, that would have otherwise cost me a small fortune! 😉 Lol.

You can also get them at walmart in the bead section 175 pcs for $2.98. Different sizes n colors.. just like these.

You can 🤍

Jamie Lee are you allergic to alcohol such as vodka? Because you can use that

Try a scented hand sanitizer like from bath & body works. It'll work, u just might need a little more than straight alcohol😊😊

+missdelishes24 hi! I believe there ss8 and ss10

+Lovez Cakez hi! Depends on if you use real Swarovski crystals or high quality crystals. In this video these are high quality crystals. I would charge $5 per nail. If longer nails than close to $7.

Luxapolish hi, wear do you buy your crystals, do you have a link?

+Valerie ♥ hi! Which Mermaid powder are you referring to?

The product I have is by Indigo Nails. It's just the basic "mermaid effect" powder. I am just horrible with the sugar texture of it. When rubbing it into a sticky layer I will almost always end up with a small empty spot where the powder just won't stick to it.

+Valerie ♥ I have a tutorial up called the Oil Slick collection. We have 10 colors...Mermaid Bliss is one of them :)

+Valerie ♥ also we use ours over a no wipe top coat not the sticky layer. Over a no wipe tot coat it has a chrome effect

That Mermaid Bliss is beautiful. Next paycheck I actually want to order the Luxa matte top coat. The mermaid powder I'm referring to is "mermaid glitter effect" powder. KZfaq videos have people just comparing the few brands that make it, a lot of the videos are also in a language I can't understand. Plus, your tutorials are just awesome with how you end up using the product.

+ChristinaMae Fam you can try other brands and see if it holds up.

Koker Hernandez i have !!!! It looked kind of creepy lol not sparkly because it's covered but more like floating crystals under water

Makeda Ellis Sounds cool!! You should make a tutorial!

Thats what I'm looking for too

I did! And it kinda took off the dimensions of the stone although it was very secure .. not recommended

I was thinking about that the other day lol

Just search ab rhinestones on Google/Amazon/eBay/AliExpress and you'll find them easily, just make sure they are glass ones and not plastic

Ashleigh Lyte the channel is luxapolish this is their channel.

+ariannym25 hi! They haven't with Luxa Base.

Ari

How long have you been a certified nail technician, Ari? 🤔🤔🤔

No they won't fall off. It's basically called "polish secure" and it's a common way to secure stones. I've been putting stones on this way for 25 yrs using regular polish top coat and any gel polish top coat, and my stones don't fall off. I mean sure we've all lost a stone here or there no matter how they are secured, it happens, but I can say from my experience that stones secured in polish will stay put, no problem.

Koker Hernandez Aahahaha! _BURN!_

Anything you use that contains oil just makes them shiny. A good tip is to mix 1 part acetone to 3 parts alcohol (or you could just use alcohol in a pinch) and quickly wipe over when you need to, that will remove any oils :)
