Pop Off Method: 3XL Square Blue w/ Rhinestone Design Nails
{{This post may contain affiliate links. Read my Full Disclosure HERE }}
Welcome to my Pop Off Method Series! Today I am creating 3XL square blue with a rhinestone design.
Pop Off Method
First I take cuticle oil and apply a generous amount to my natural nails.
Next I rub in the cuticle oil in that is on my skin, NOT the oil on my nail.
I then take Gellen gel top coat and apply a layer on top of the cuticle oil. I put my hand in the nail lamp for at least 60 seconds.
Full Cover Nail Tips Application
Next, I take some nail glue and put it on the inside of the full cover nail tips.
I then take the nail and apply it to my nails.
Once it is straight, I hold the nail down for at least a minute to allow the glue to dry.
I repeat the same steps and put on the remainder of the nails.
Then I take the nail file and file the free edge just a little to make sure it is straight.

Next, I take the nail file and remove the shine from the nails.
Next, I clean all of nails with alcohol and a lint free wipe.
Gel Polish Application
After all the nails are air dried, I apply a layer of gel base coat. I then let them cure in the nail lamp for 30 to 60 seconds.
Next, I apply a layer of Gellen gel polish in the color 228.
I take a detail nail art brush to get the gel polish as close to the cuticles as possible.
I also take another nail brush to clean up any gel polish that is outside the nail plate.
After all of the nails are polished and cleaned up, I put the nails in the nail lamp for at least 90 seconds.
Next, I apply a layer of gel top coat.
I let them cure again for at least 90 seconds.
Rhinestone Application
For this set I decided to have an accent nail. I apply another layer of gel top coat on the middle finger nail.
Next, I apply the rhinestones.
After the stones are in place, I flash cure with a portable nail light the finished design before I move on to the next one.

I then take the gel top coat and place a drop on the nail where I want the rhinestone.
Next, I apply the stone where the drop is.
I then take my portable nail light and flash cure the rhinestone in place.
I repeat the same steps on the remaining nails. Once I have the rhinestones in place, I cure for at least 90 seconds.
Lastly, I apply cuticle oil to my cuticles and rub it in.
