Content
Recently, designs with rhinestones on the nails have been popular. The coating can be made both voluminous and flat, sealing under a layer of sculptural gel. Decorate such designs using broths or pixies. In this article we will tell you what it is and how to use them.
Types of broths and pixies for nails
The broths represent nothing more than nail beads. These are small balls, the size of which may differ, on average their diameter varies from 0.6 to 2 mm. Most often, in design, together with rhinestones inlay, broths are used with a diameter of 0.8-1 mm. If the inlay is voluminous, and contains a huge number of small elements, then larger broths are also often used. Now a huge number of various options are presented on the market. They can be made of three materials.
Materials for broths:
- Metal
- Plastic
- Glass
The most popular are glass, as well as metal. This is due to the fact that they are quite strong, and not painted, but made of colored glass or metal with the addition of dyes. Accordingly, when coating with a top or sculptural gel, such broths do not glance, and do not lose their color. A more affordable option is plastic broths, but most often they are painted, and under the influence of a solvent that is contained in the top or in the finish coating, this dye can climb.
Accordingly, then such a design does not look very beautiful, it can dirty the main coating, that is, varnish, and deliver a lot of inconvenience. In addition, such broths are very poorly worn, they grind, lose their color and even break off pieces. As for metal and glass broths, they are more reliable. If they are correctly fixed and adhere to the technology, they will be held until the next correction, up to 6 weeks, they will not glance.
Review of broths and pixies to Aliexpress
Now on Aliexpress A huge amount of broths. Basically, just metal, glass. The leader can be called metal products. Most often, small jars are purchased for home use. Their cost is also not high, but the masters of manicure prefer large bags, weighing 50 g for such a purchase is really more profitable, and it is suitable if you are really professionally engaged in manicure, or do a manicure at home. Because for home use it makes no sense to spend money and buy such a large package. In your entire life you will not be able to spend them.
List:

Often they decorate inlay with colored rhinestones, make brooches, rings, as well as floral arrangements on the nails.

- Another option that can be found on Aliexpress are plastic broths. The main advantage is that a huge number of colors can be purchased for a low price. There are quite a lot of them in the carousel, but almost always they are plastic. That is, this color coating when designed by the top sets, and leaves the painted area near the varnish, which is covered with a top. Which significantly spoils the design. We do not recommend using such broths complete with Swarovski rhinestones or expensive stones, because you run the risk of ruining the whole design with cheap broths.
- Pixie - These are small crystal rhinestones that resemble cone -shaped pebbles. Now AliExpress also has a huge number of such products. Basically, they are popularly transparent, with a holographic brilliance. They very beautifully cover the nail, making the design just chic. The main disadvantage is that such pixies are hooked for everything, and can tear tights, lace underwear, hooking the hair. Accordingly, such a design even with a rather thorough sealing, and if you plant them on a sculptural gel, it falls off very quickly. You need to do a similar design if you go to some event, and you need to make a chic manicure.

How to fix the broth to the nails?
Beginners have many questions, how do these broths need to be attached? There are several techniques, depending on what design you perform.
Instructions:
- If this is a volumetric inlay with rhinestones, and the broths serve as an addition, then in this case a small amount of sculptural gel is applied to the nail in the shape of a pattern, rhinestones are planted and while the gel is still wet, broths are laid out near the rhinestones. This helps to consolidate the design of the rhinestones, reduce the possibility of their coating with the coating of inlay. In addition, the broths are securely fixed, because they are almost completely recessed in the gel.
- If you use the covers of the entire nail pixie, or fill the space between several stones of the broths completely, then the technique is slightly different. Stones are planted on a sculptural gel, and broths plant on the top. That is, after you planted the stones, dried them, the nail is overlapped with a very thick layer of top, it is desirable that it be rubber and does not drain from the nail. Because manipulation can take some time.
- After that, directly from the bag or from the box, the nail is sprinkled, having previously exposed some kind of container under it so that the remnants of the broths wake up into this container. After that, it is necessary to correct them with an improper location of the broth using an orange stick. When everything is quite good and densely lying on the nails, the edges of 1 mm are closed from the broths and smeared with a thick layer of top along the perimeter of the entire nail. This is necessary in order to reduce the option of chips and riding broths from the ends.
