Statement Sparkle
Swarovski SS12 is ideal when you want a more noticeable crystal moment without going too large. Use it as a centrepiece, in mixed-size clusters, along French tips, or as the main sparkle detail on feature nails.
Crystal AB Finish
Crystal AB gives a rainbow-reflecting finish that shifts through soft pink, gold, blue and violet tones depending on the light and base colour. It is ideal for nail art that needs extra glow, dimension and movement.
How To Apply Swarovski Nail Crystals
- Complete your colour, base design or nail art as usual.

- Pick up the SS12 crystal with a wax picker or crystal tool.
- Place the flatback crystal into position and adjust before curing.
- Secure around the base of the crystal without covering the top surface.
