Gray Rhinestone Waterfall: Step 2
Brush on top coat so that the embellishments can stick on more easily. Quickly, apply 2 clear rhinestones near each other, at an angle, near the free edge (tip of the nail). Apply silver and black bouillon beads individually, around the rhinestones and slightly down the nail, giving it a waterfall effect.
