In this tutorial, I’m going to show you how to do red bling nails.


This nail set is simple with white nails with red rhinestones, and it came out so beautiful. Let’s get started.

Tools and materials:

  • Base coat
  • Milky white gel polish
  • Gel top coat
  • Bling adhesive
  • Rhinestones
  • UV lamp
Applying base coat

1. Apply a base coat

Apply a thin layer of the clear base gel over the nails.

2. Apply a layer of milky white polish

For the color, I went with a winter white that is milky and cloudy.

Applying nail polish

Apply this color all over the nails. Cure under a UV lamp.

3. Apply a second layer

Apply a second layer of the milky white gel polish and cure.

Applying adhesive

4. Apply bling adhesive

Apply bling adhesive wherever you want the rhinestones to go.


I spread it around on the bottom half of the nail where I was going to apply the rhinestones first and then added more as I continued to add rhinestones.

5. Apply the rhinestones

Pick up the rhinestones with a wax pencil and carefully place them on the nail where you applied the bling adhesive.


Keep in mind that if it’s hot where you’re doing these nails, the glue will dry faster. Conversely, if it’s cold, the glue will stay tacky longer.

Adding rhinestones

You can also use a dotting tool to help adjust the rhinestones into place.

Adding rhinestones

Here’s the design I went with for one of the nails. I used an assortment of rhinestones in different shapes and sizes to create a unique look.


I love the red and the white together. It looks so elegant and beautiful.

I added less rhinestones on the ends compared to the middle to balance out the look.

Adding top coat

6. Apply top coat

Apply the top coat around the rhinestones. Try not to get the gel on the rhinestones because it does dull out the shine.
