How much to charge for Swarovski crystals

[claire bear]

How much does everybody charge per crystal? I was at the fingernail fixer event on Friday and she charges a dollar per crystal so basically a pound each. If they are only having a couple then I could confidently charge £1 each but what about if someone wants a full nail or a few on each nail? What does everybody charge then? Would you bring the price down for having more to make it affordable? I dont really want to use diamantes as a cheaper version anymore
Thanks

I charge £60 for a Swarovski pedi. I do a Shellac RockStar underneath the crystals, so factor in all your products, plus your time. On average I use around 150 - 200 crystals per set, depending on toe size and crystal size.

Individual crystals - £1, covered accent finger £8. Haven't had a request for a Swarovski Mani as yet!

Hope that helps!

That really helps thank you.... How do you attach them?

If I'm doing a Pedi, I stick into the tacky layer of Shellac, topcoat with a striper brush in and around stones, cure. Then topcoat again around the stones.

If I'm doing individual stones on fingers, I'll use Brisa Lite Sculpting gel as "adhesive" to attach to the nail, then curing, and then topcoat as normal xx

SS5 crystal zillion cut are a perfect size for fingers. I also have SS3 which are tiny, SS7 and SS9 which are good for toes. Have a look at Scatter Crystals - that's where I get mine from. Super quick service.

I was looking on there but havent a clue what to order. Crystals for everything but no cosmetic grade ones?
Sweet squared only have ss7 and above and they look massive! Xx

You want the non hot fix flat back. Its quite easy when you know what to look for. I think the SS7 too big for fingers. Ok for toes. S2 doesn't have the same range of colours and size as Scatter Crystals.

Personally I prefer the crystal (clear). Make sure to get the zillion cut as they're really sparkly!

 

[foxy_princess]

Id charge £1 per crystal, £5 for 8 then for a full crystal nail I'd charge £8
