Rhinestones are most often described in technical terms because they’re primarily used by experts in the jewelry, clothing, and beauty industries.
This can make navigating rhinestone ideas for your white nails difficult, so we have some commonly used terminology that can help you to find the look you want.
When a rhinestone is referred to as a solitaire or a solitary rhinestone, it simply means that there’s only one, single rhinestone that’s being described.
Clusters, on the other hand, are two or more rhinestones that have been assembled to form a design or group of rhinestones.
Holographic rhinestones are some of the most popular right now and paired with a white bottom coat, they look absolutely stunning. Holographic rhinestones appear to reflect rainbows because they act as prisms, using refracting surfaces to separate white light into a spectrum of colors.
White base coats make especially brilliant backgrounds for these types of diamonds and highlight their rainbow making power.
