To use nail charms, you typically apply a gem gel or similar adhesive to the nail and then place the charm onto the gel. After positioning the charm, cure the gel with a UV/LED lamp to secure it in place.
Here's a breakdown of the steps:
-
Apply Gem Gel: Use a gem gel (or nail glue specifically designed for charms and rhinestones) and apply a small dot or two where you want to place the nail charm.
-
Position the Charm: Carefully place the nail charm onto the dot of gem gel. Use a tool like tweezers or a dotting tool for precision.
-
Cure the Gel: Cure the gel under a UV/LED lamp for the recommended time (usually around 30-60 seconds, but refer to your gel's instructions). This will harden the gel and secure the charm to your nail.
It is recommended to seal around the charm with a top coat to further secure it and prevent snagging.
