What Is AB?
AB stands for aurora borealis, an added coating rather than a raw crystal color. Unicorn Tears starts with a clear crystal base and is then coated with a thin aurora borealis finish, which is what creates the rainbow shimmer and lets it layer over any nail polish color underneath.
Use Reference
Crystal Faerie works with nail glue or gel rather than fabric or hotfix glue. Preciosa recommends GEMGEL Adhesive™ for the strongest hold. Apply your adhesive to the nail, sprinkle the crystals over the tacky surface, and gently press them into place while the adhesive is still workable. Let it cure or dry completely, then add a light top coat around the edges to help hold the design in place.
What's Included
- One 10-gram bottle of Preciosa Crystal Faerie Unicorn Tears
- Enough crystals for multiple full manicures or dozens of accent designs, depending on coverage
