Textured Stars

Some people claim that since they are not good at nail art, they won’t be able to create an intricate and unique star nails design. I beg to differ, and Savannah is here to support my point. At times, perfection is created through a seamless balance of a neutral base shade and rich metallic stickers. You can go as far as to crown your stars with jewels, and your manicure won’t look out of place, no matter the outfit or occasion.

Stars and Gems

Stars on Nails sound as mesmerizing as they look, but I know how to take things even further. You can adorn each star center with a different gem. The twinkling gems will send rays of light every time you move a finger, and that is a perk not to treat lightly.

Styling Tips:

• A salon manicure with gems usually lasts a lot longer than a home-made one. Thus, if you head for the salon for your next mani, you should expect it to last at least 2 weeks.
• A gel manicure is more durable, so it is advised to pair it with crystal nail art rather than crystalizing your natural manicure.
