A manicure inlaid with rhinestones, made in red tones, today confidently occupies a top position in the nail industry, because this design not only attracts attention to its owner, but also complements any image with notes of femininity and charm. Red nails with rhinestones can be modest or flirty, bold or romantic, strict or passionate, it all depends on the chosen tone and methods of decoration. However, despite all these wonderful characteristics, few people know that the red covering of nails is already more than five thousand years old, and this privilege of wearing red nails was allowed only to noble people. The most famous fashionistas of that time were such beauties of Ancient Egypt as Nefertiti, who preferred ruby shades, and Cleopatra, who used colors with an orange tint. Nowadays, this multifaceted color is available to everyone, so feel free to choose a shade to your taste, decorate the coating with sparkling elements and conquer the whole world!
Features of red manicure
The beauty and elegance of the hands when decorating a red manicure largely depends on the correctly selected shade and the accuracy of the procedure itself. In general, red polish looks gorgeous on nail plates of any length and shape, so every fashionista can easily choose the ideal coating for herself. However, we still recommend listening to the advice of stylists to ensure you look perfect. For those with fair skin and blonde hair, it is more appropriate to use red hairsprays with pink tints. This will allow you to more advantageously emphasize the elegance of your hands, and will not look too bold. Brunettes with dark skin should prefer wine shades of scarlet. They will make your nails a little more noticeable and aristocratic. Too long nail plates look harmonious with one layer of coating, but short nails can be coated with any intensity. As for decoration, do not forget about the brightness of the combination of the red palette and rhinestones. Casual design looks decent with minimal embellishment. For a festive look, you can allow yourself to dream up.
Pink manicure with glitter
Pink shades can look both childishly naive and elegant and mysterious. Still would! These gentle tones never cause irritation. And if you decorate them, then certainly with sparkles, hearts, and designs in the romantic style.
Red jacket with rhinestones
Designing a French manicure in red tones using rhinestones can be called a very beautiful and original design idea, which, despite the shimmer of the decorations and the brightness of the palette, always looks a little restrained. In addition, this option will definitely appeal to modest young ladies who have not previously decided on such a bright manicure. The most common type of red jacket is coating the tip of the nail plate with a selected red shade. The main part of the nail remains transparent. The attractiveness of this technique lies in the shape of the smile. You can give preference to a classic rounded line, or experiment a little and create a triangular, beveled or even a very wide smile that will occupy half of the entire nail. The last sentence is relevant for long nails. In this case, rhinestones beautifully emphasize the border between colored and transparent coatings or can be arranged in the form of small patterns on several fingers.
Design with geometric patterns
Manicures in shades of red never go out of style. This is already a so-called “classic”. First, let's figure out what kind of color this is - red? There are so many shades of this color that it makes your head spin. Red colors are divided into: cherry, rose, jam, merlot, pomegranate, raspberry, ruby, scarlet, wine, strawberry, apple, mahogany, bloody, sangria, berry, currant, blush, candy and lipstick. And any of these shades can be said to be red, because they are part of the red color spectrum.
It would seem that the color red is already bright in itself, but even it can be complemented. Geometry in manicure is gaining new popularity every season. If you decide to make a geometric pattern in red shades, then you can come up with several methods:
- Drawing geometric shapes with a thin brush. For this method, you need to be good with a brush and, even more so, be able to work well with your left hand if you are right-handed, and with your right hand if you are left-handed. Here the imagination is already limitless: lines, circles, squares, crosses and triangles...
- If you are not so good with a brush, tape or adhesive tape will come to the rescue, with which you can easily make shapes with straight edges. In this case, you need to choose varnishes of medium thickness, since liquid ones will flow under the adhesive surface, and thick ones will pull along with the tape at the time of removal.
- Translated slides and pictures have not been canceled. In fact, this is one of the easiest ways to create a beautiful, stylish manicure. You can take slides with geometric shapes at once, or you can cut out geometric shapes from ordinary colored slides and place them in different places on the nails.
Whatever method you choose, you need to remember that the red color itself implies clear application, without smudges or washouts. And if you are also doing a geometric manicure, then all the edges of the design should be clear. Before working on your nails, it is better to practice on tips or paper. If there is any unevenness or inaccuracy during application, a thin brush with varnish of the main color will help to correct the edges of the figure.
Lunar manicure
The classic lunar design, as you know, is a design in which the lunula at the base of the nail remains transparent. This idea looks a little unusual, but very beautiful, so ladies are increasingly choosing this particular design position. In this case, small pebbles can be placed along the line of demarcation of two coatings. An example that looks no less chic is when the lunula itself on one of the nails stands out as decor. This method allows you to simultaneously decorate your manicure and not overload the overall design. By the way, you can also get a little creative with the shape of the holes. Alternatively, try an inverted or triangular variation. A few shimmering stones or beads and the masterpiece is ready to be released.
Rhinestones and drawings
The red design with rhinestones and patterns allows young ladies to boldly express their imagination, because the palette used in the design fits perfectly with any thematic patterns. These can be geometric, ethnic, abstract or floral motifs, original painting in the New Year style, cute animals, images for Valentine's Day and many other variations. We apply designs to several nails and complement the work with one of the types of rhinestones. Crystals, beads, pearls or crystal chips can perfectly complement any theme. Some pictures look beautiful with a scattering of small decorative elements, while some, on the contrary, “come to life” with the use of one or two large-sized decorations.
New products and trends 2022
Stylish women, regardless of their age, not only take care of the beauty of their hands, but also adhere to fashion trends in nail design. The trend of the year in nail design is femininity and practicality. That is why manicurists suggest their clients wear a moderate length, but show maximum creativity in design.
New items for 2022 are a durable gel polish coating in a wide variety of shades, using bouillons, rhinestones, and stones. In order not to overdo it with the decor, masters recommend doing it not on all nails, but on one or two nails. This way you will emphasize your style and sense of taste.
Rhinestones and sparkles
Many stylists use all sorts of red manicure ideas with rhinestones and sparkles for special occasions or special occasions, because if these additions are harmoniously placed on the nails, the result is simply amazing. Decorate one or two nails with a simple pattern of rhinestones in the root zone, and create a glitter stretch on the adjacent fingers. The combination of sparkling stones and confetti is no less impressive. Liquid glitter can be used to apply patterns on a red base and also complement them with rhinestones. There are many variations. And yes, all these examples ultimately confirm that there is no such thing as too much glitter.
Red matte
This proposal, according to nail designers, is a win-win option for creating a mysterious and rich design. Velvet red covering, in any of the shades, with rhinestones, looks extremely elegant and luxurious. All you have to do is cover your nails with the desired tone and decorate one or two fingers with a simple pattern. Various stripes, neat compositions of jewelry of different sizes and shapes, highlighting the base or other part of the nail plate with crystals - any of the examples looks magical. The combination of gloss and matte top in a manicure is also welcome. These can be either separately covered nails with different structures, or a fashionable duet on one nail bed. The border between them can be decorated with beads or small crystals.
Long nails
Long nail plates with a red coating and inlaid with rhinestones are a real masterpiece of nail art. Their main advantage is that decorative details can be arranged in absolutely any order, be it floral patterns, geometric motifs, various lines, zigzags or waves. This allows you not only to beautifully complement many techniques, but also to vary the number of decorations, their sizes and the thickness of the patterns.
How long does shellac with stones last, how to keep them on your nails longer
When properly applied and worn carefully, shellac with stones on nails lasts up to 3 weeks. If the rhinestones are plastic or large glass, glued to a liquid top or base, this period can be reduced to 1-2 weeks.
For longer wearing it is important:
- Choose the right fixing material for different types of decor. This can be special glue or a thick topcoat. Larger elements should be fixed with nail extension gel.
- Protect your hands when doing homework. This means doing it with gloves, not scraping anything with your nails, not picking. If you need to file the ends, use a nail file carefully.

Short nails
Shortened nail plates, of course, cannot allow themselves to give free rein to their imagination, but they will definitely succeed in standing out from the crowd and showing off their grace. The main rule is a perfectly flat base, otherwise all efforts will be useless. In order not to overload the manicure, we decorate the nails with single stones or a maximum of two or three copies on several fingers. You can choose the option of emphasizing only one nail. It can be a nice scattering of small stones or vertical lines and waves of beads or other patterns.
Passionate or restrained, daring or gentle, strict or romantic - we can talk endlessly about red manicure. This is an undoubted classic of nail art, a real masterpiece worthy of attention and respect.
With such a manicure you can handle any event, because red is the color of winners and fatal beauties!
