The Best Rhinestones For Nails
Nail art has taken over and we are here for it. One of the fun parts of nail art is the option to add some sparkle to it in the form of rhinestones. They are an inexpensive way to take your nails to the next level, and you don’t even have to go to a salon to get them. You can get the rhinestones yourself and create art of your own to become a true nail artist. In our search for the best rhinestones for nails, we focused on three different qualities: whether the rhinestones are the right size to make a statement, how versatile they are, and how widely the included rhinestones vary. Our favorite rhinestones for nails were the ones from Beadsland, as they come in a variety of sizes so you can choose what’s best for you. However, they do not offer the color diversity that the rhinestones from Warmfits do, so those also won our nod of approval. Read on to learn more about the rest of our favorites.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you get rhinestones to stick on nails?
The key to getting rhinestones to stick to your nails is using the right nail glue. You need to carefully read the directions on the glue to ensure that you wait the right amount of time before and after the application.
How do you keep rhinestones from falling off your nails?
In addition to gluing them, you may want to try painting a layer or two of clear nail polish on top of the rhinestones to hold them in for longer.
Can I use super glue instead of nail glue for rhinestones?
No. Do not use super glue to get rhinestones to stick on your nails. Super glue can be very harsh on your nails and may potentially damage them. Super glue was not created to be used on your body.
