Manicure ideas with confetti
The new product, which came to us from the Japanese islands, provides ample opportunities to diversify the decor of nails, making it more expressive and bright. The shimmer of kamifubuki is beautiful on a dark background - black, dark blue, burgundy, marsh. Although even on light gel polish the particles shine incredibly. A flurry of colors on nails fits perfectly into a romantic, casual, and even business look, if used carefully.
This effective technique has many variations of use:
- A catchy and even provocative manicure is vital for a party or visiting a club. Full coverage of kamifubuki nails in this case has no alternatives.
- For everyday life, it is better to use a lightweight version, when decorative particles are completely decorated with only one finger on the brush.
- Manicure with confetti is also popular, in which circles are placed on the nail in a certain order: at a distance/chaotically/forming a pattern.
- Manicure with confetti and sequins can be one-color or multi-color.
- The option of arranging particles on transparent camouflage is relevant.

Black manicure with confetti
A mysterious and categorical black manicure in tandem with kamifubuki is a win-win solution, because the cheerful particles significantly soften the gloom of the dark background, making it rainbow-colored and even elegant. Since contrasting colors are always more interesting, gel polish with a matte finish makes a manicure with confetti more expressive. And although there will be no glossy shine, the exquisite shine of flat grains on a matte tone will outshine it.
Pink manicure with confetti
Full of grace and not at all daring, they are recognized as universal for their ability to easily fit into even the most formal wardrobe. But being a constantly correct girl is boring, so a pretty scattering of kamifubuki will add a gentle and playful charm to pink. Their cheerful and cheerful sparkle will bring the cute, immaculate color to life.
And although the pink palette is tolerant of many neighboring tones, a stylish manicure with confetti in a silver or golden hue is relevant. It is recommended to select decor in a color different from the main tone of the varnish, although a few pink particles may be present. If pale shades are applied to the nails, the contrast of lilac or crimson rounds is good for them. Alternatively: apply white gel polish as a base.

It gives wide scope for experimentation, so you shouldn’t deprive yourself of the opportunity to show the edges of your imagination. And although this decorative element appeared on the market quite recently, experienced craftsmen have already developed several directions:

A woman's attractiveness is made up of many little things, like a puzzle. Well-groomed hands and a neat manicure play an important role in this. Modern representatives of the fair sex attach particular importance to the decorative design of nails, decorating them with artistic painting. But there is a simpler and more effective technique that instantly attracts attention to the hands - these are rhinestones and sequins, mesmerizing with their mysterious tints. The good news is that you can create such a manicure at home, devoting some time and diligence to training.
Features of performing manicure with rhinestones at home
Decorating nails with rhinestones, according to stylists, is perfect for both a strict everyday style and a luxurious holiday look. It gives elegance and sophistication.
A characteristic feature of sequins and crystals is their versatility. Such decorative elements are perfectly combined with any pattern (French, classic neutral, floral motifs, geometry, etc.), and look great on plates of any length and shape, natural or extended.
The main advantage of rhinestones is the possibility of their reusable use.
If you use high-quality glue, which can be purchased in specialized stores, the stones will stay on your nails for a long time. After changing the manicure design, they can be carefully removed and stored in a box until the next use.
Sequin decoration
Sequins are much smaller in size than rhinestones. However, nail art with sequins has continued to be at the peak of fashion for several years in a row. Its secret is versatility. Unobtrusive soft shimmers will be appropriate both in a formal office setting and at a party in a fashionable club.
The easiest way to decorate your nails with glitter is to use ready-made nail polish. A more complex method, but one that leaves freedom for novice designers, is gluing sequins individually onto the nail plate. There are different types of glitter:
- dat (“dust”) – the smallest, they are applied in a fairly dense, uniform layer, indispensable for creating complex designs;
- shimmer is a type of dust;
- glitter - have a diameter of more than 1 mm, their caliber is usually indicated on the packaging; visually similar to confetti or mini fireworks.
The shape of the sequins also varies - from the classic round to the “stars”.
The “degrade” effect continues to be relevant, when at the base of the nail (in the hole) there is almost no glitter, and towards the outer edge the density of their application increases
Preparing nails at home is the same as before attaching rhinestones. It is necessary to put your hands in order, file your nails, give them the desired shape, remove cuticles and hangnails, and apply varnish (step-by-step instructions are described below).
The simplest technique for applying sequins at home looks like this:
- do a classic French manicure;
- using ready-made varnish with a small scattering of glitter, carefully cover the white edge of each nail, wait until completely dry, apply a second layer;
- cover the nails with a fixative.
To glue large sequins you will need a match, a toothpick or a thin brush; they can be attached to a wet base varnish or special glue.
To draw a fancy ornament with sparkles, you will have to work hard, showing your creative abilities. To do this, apply strips of glue to the base with a thin brush, then sprinkle the nail plate with sequins. After waiting for the glue to dry completely, the residues are carefully removed (blown off or fanned with a soft brush).

Rhinestones as nail decoration
Before you start doing a manicure with stones, it is important to choose high-quality materials. The combination of a pattern on the fingers and jewelry (ring, bracelet) is considered especially chic.
Swarovski rhinestones or crystals are produced in different base shapes. Some stones have a flat surface at the bottom, others are made in the shape of a cone. Flat ones are suitable for gluing on natural and false nails. Conical ones require preliminary preparation of the nail plates (drilling holes), so they are used only on extended nails.
The material from which rhinestones are made is also of great importance. This affects both the cost of the decor and its durability. Stones are made from:
- crystal;
- glass (stamped and faceted);
- acrylic;
- plastic;
- zirconium.
Many manicurists prefer to work with Swarovski crystals because they have several advantages:
- regular round shape;
- comfortable flat base with reflective film;
- a certain number of edges, ensuring the play of light.
According to their appearance, crystals are divided into:
- completely transparent (white);
- multi-colored;
- holographic;
- with satin finish;
- metallized;
- hematite;
- with low transparency.
The most practical shades are champagne, neon and completely transparent crystals.
The basic rules that professionals adhere to when decorating nail plates with rhinestones are as follows:
- Less is better, but more impressive. It is necessary to avoid piling up stones, as this creates inconvenience in everyday life and visually “weights” the fingers.
- Accuracy is paramount. Incorrectly glued stones with noticeable glue drips can ruin all efforts to paint the nail plates.
- The shade of the rhinestones should be in harmony with the colors of the main coating (emerald green stones on a flashy red monochrome look tasteless).
As a rule, rhinestones are not combined with other three-dimensional decorative elements - modeling, etc. But stones can not be attached to everything, but only to one of the fingers.
Medium and large crystals can visually make your nail shorter!
Here are several options for decorating with stones:
- classic, on the ring nail at the inner border of the white line a scattering of small rhinestones is glued;
- thin lace is first glued onto nails covered with a natural-colored base, and then decorated with crystals at your own discretion.
These types of manicures “for every day” are elegant and attractive.
Method of gluing rhinestones at home
Step-by-step instructions for decorating a manicure with sparkling crystals will be as follows:
- They do a trim with removal of the cuticle.
- Prepare the base: each nail is coated with the base, then the main tone in 2 layers. The second is applied only after the first has completely dried. Then the nails are covered with a fixative and the modeling of the future pattern begins.
- Using special glue, they “mark” (put tiny dots) the location of future stones.
- One end of the toothpick is moistened in water, then it is used to “pick up” the pebble from the front side. Using the flat base that is on the outside, the crystal is carefully brought to a drop of glue on the nail and pressed lightly.
- Gradually stick on all the rhinestones.
- A fixative is once again applied over the stones.
To make working with stones more convenient, you can pour them out of the box onto a sheet of white paper, and use tweezers instead of a toothpick. A small scattering can be sprinkled on top of the wet varnish.
Some crystals lose their shine due to the fixative! Therefore, they are glued at the very end, after the fixative.
Video: beautiful manicure with rhinestones on gel polish
There is a slight cost difference between glass and plastic products. The first ones are a little more expensive, but they look more impressive. They do not lose their original shine during the final coating and retain their brightness for a long time.
The variety of shades of crystals sometimes makes even professionals feel lost. For beginners, it is better to try with transparent stones, or work with rhinestones of 2-3 colors. Over time, ideas for improving your manicure will begin to appear in your thoughts, then the color range can gradually be expanded.
It is better to avoid using too large rhinestones at the beginning. They require long, perfectly shaped artificial nails, and it’s easy to go overboard with their number. For beginners, the best option is:
- classic French or monochrome base;
- small scattering or separately glued stones of medium caliber (contrasting or matching the base).
As an option, you can practice gluing metallic or transparent rhinestones onto a black base, which will successfully hide glue drips.
If the stone is attached incorrectly, you will have to remove everything from the nail and start over (by applying the base). Therefore, before treating the nail plate with glue, you can simply place rhinestones on top of it, having done a preliminary “trying on”.
Stylists recommend that older ladies refrain from using rhinestones and, as a last resort, decorate only one nail on the hand with a small scattering of transparent stones. In addition, manicurists warn about the negative effects of crystals on nail plates. They advise alternating rhinestones with a regular manicure.
It is best to try glitter first in the finished varnish, and then gradually move on to dust and glitter. They start with one shade - to match the base coat of the nails, gradually expanding the range of colors.
Removing a manicure with glitter is much more difficult than removing a manicure with rhinestones. To facilitate the process of removing the “shimmering” coating, generously moisten a cotton swab in solvent, and then tightly wrap the nail in it for 2-3 minutes.
Decorative coating of nails with glitter and rhinestones continues to be in fashion. A huge range of materials gives scope for creativity and endless experimentation. Any woman who cares about the beauty of her hands can try her hand at nail art. Sequins can be tried in ready-made varnishes or purchased separately. Attaching rhinestones will require some skill, but you will be pleased with the excellent result.
Most representatives of the fair sex pay a lot of attention to the appearance of their hands, namely manicure. In nail art, more and more interesting new products and tools are appearing that allow you to create the most unusual, stylish and fashionable designs. For a long time now, manicure has become part of the image, and is it chosen in the same way as the wardrobe? depending on the mood, time of year, clothing and the appropriateness of the situation.

If you apply confetti on a non-dried top coat, then the number of top coats of varnish increases. Try both methods of applying sequins and choose the one that suits you best.
Try to make each layer of varnish as thin and uniform as possible - this will ensure long-term preservation of the manicure. The final coating can be applied in a thick layer to consolidate the result.
