When she applies larger crystals to nails, LeChat educator Wendy Valenzuela has a new method: She uses the brand’s dip system base and activator to adhere them. “First, I apply step two from our dip system (French base),” she explains. “Then I place the diamonds.” When she’s happy with the placement, she applies the activator around the crystal. “It will dry the glue and the embellishment will stick forever,” she says.
