Japanese Nail Art: How to Use a Swarovski Clip-On Cross
In a time crunch but your client is looking for something edgy? Dangle clip-on jewelry will be your client’s new go-to. Just apply a simple gel or polish background, a couple nail art stickers and then accent the nail with a clip-on charm. Use The Nail Superstore's Charm Shaper to shape charms to perfectly fit the natural curve of the nail and the thicker the gel on the nail is, the better the clip-on charm will stay.English Translation: This nail art is for the Christmas and winter season. Apply the clear gel as an adhesive. Put a Swarovski snowflake charm, and a small gold color snowflake on. Curve it with the mold. It’s easy to curve. Put it here. Apply the sticky top gel starting from around the large charm and then on the charm. Apply the top gel. It would be better to apply the top gel several times to fix the large charms tightly. Clean off the unhardened gel.
