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.
Poppies on nails
A black and red manicure, the photo of which looks gentle and romantic, reflects a floral theme. The feminine depiction of flowers makes designs in bright shades softer and suitable for everyday life.
To create a design with poppies you need:
- Apply a camouflage base to your nails.
- Cover the circumference of the nails with black gel polish and dry the coating in a lamp.
- Use red gel polish to paint poppies, creating a blurry circle by drawing large petals. The edges of the petals should rest against the black border.
- The center of the flower should be filled with black gel polish.
- To make the design more realistic, poppies can be painted with a green tint of gel polish on their stems and leaves.
The femininity of the floral design makes it versatile. It suits any style, place and event. Thanks to the design base, made of camouflage in a neutral shade, the manicure does not look bright and provocative. The edging, reminiscent of a picture frame, will add an interesting twist to this design.
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.

Red color in nail design is an unchanging classic that is always relevant. In 2021, such a bright manicure will be in trend, which will undoubtedly delight lovers of rich colors.

To give your hand some shine, stylists recommend decorating one or two fingers with pebbles, covering either the entire surface or a small part with them.
As a main color, red is suitable for the autumn-winter period, when stylists advise using rich dark shades in manicure. For special occasions, you can decorate the base tone not only with rhinestones, but also with drawings, stones, as well as gold and metal elements.

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.
Manicure with a “smile”
A playfully curved red line at the base of the nail plate will make your manicure unusual and interesting: you will get a cheerful smile! Decorate it with shiny decorative elements and accentuate it. In addition, the nail visually lengthens. The stripe can be made with a bend in the other direction - this will also turn out very bright.
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.

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.
Fastening rhinestones
At home, you can apply a crystal to your nail in two ways: by placing it directly on the varnish or by attaching it to glue.
Applying rhinestones to varnish
Using pointed tweezers, an orange stick or a toothpick dipped in water, the stone is pressed into the wet layer of varnish and fixed.
With this method, there is a danger of delamination of the multilayer coating. Use a varnish with a dense texture and rich color.
Attaching crystals with glue
The glue is used after the coating has completely dried. The product is applied to the surface of the nail, not to the stone.
Both methods of applying rhinestones are completed by coating the nail with a fixative. A manicure becomes especially chic if you cover it with a fixative with a matte effect.
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.
Options for placing rhinestones on red nails
The more unusual a girl’s nail design, the more fashionable she looks in the eyes of others. Therefore, the placement of jewelry is the true will of the master. The main thing is to feel in moderation. The most common location options:
- diagonal;
- vertical;
- wave;
- pointwise;
- highlighting the hole in the Hollywood version.
Particularly popular is highlighting the base of the plate with a triangle. This geometric solution looks elegant as a nail decoration.
In addition to the triangle, you can make any other geometric shapes from stones: rhombuses, rectangles, hearts, and also use decorations of unusual shapes.
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.
Long red nails with glitter
Once you grow or increase the length of your nails, new opportunities for beautiful nail art open up. And there are quite a lot of them. And if you choose red, it can serve as a strong accent or become the basis for a fashionable manicure, for example, in an extravagant fuchsia color.
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!
Rhinestone decoration
The undeniable advantage of this design is that it can be decorated with any decoration or pattern. If you want to add a festive touch to your everyday look, complement your manicure with rhinestones, sparkles, and sequins. If you have long nails, catchy, bright jewelry will suit you. If you are the owner of short or medium-length nails, it is better to opt for calm and laconic options.
A hole made entirely of rhinestones looks very impressive, especially if you need to prepare for a festive event. A very fashionable trend is to decorate your nails with feathers and stones. Remember to have a sense of proportion; you should not clutter the design - it may look vulgar.
