Hi all ...what do u guys use to stick gems to shellac ? ....x
 
Akzents Bling it On
 
I use star nails adhesive. .. although im not a fan of their other products...their adhesive is amazing and fast....
Once the gem is stuck... i decant a small amount of top coat... take a small brush...and apply it around the gem and over the nail... taking care not to get any on the actual gem x
 
I just put them into uncured top coat and using a Lecente D3 brush draw a circle around each stone so that the edges are encased with top coat.
 
I have bling it on but unfortunately both myself and clients have lost gems with it so I'm back to gently buffing, nail adhesive, pop crystal on then top coat the nail and use a detailer brush to go around the crystal.
 
I use ink fortify strengthening gel for gems with any gel polish it works like a dream x
