If you do not wish to add a foil skip ahead to step 10.
As for those who would like to use foil, make sure you have a good quality foil adhesive like Special FX's adhesive.
Not only this but leave your nails to dry THROUGHLY!!! I leave my false nails about 12 hours minimum.
Now apply the adhesive in a smooth, quick coat on the white nail tip only. Do not put too much so that you can see the blue tinge of the adhesive but don't apply to little so that its not smooth.

Apply a coat of clear nail polish, grap your orange stick and dampen the hoof shaped end (I suck it but how you dampen it is up to you). Pick up a diamante on the 'right' side and apply the 'wrong' side of the diamante to the wet clear nail varnish. Stick the first diamante in the centre of the line where the white varnish meets the fleshy tone.

Wowie this looks amazing, does it really take 3 hours to apply?

With the foils it does, and the diamantes can be tricky when you first start out but it quickens up once you get the hang of things! The quickest part is actually the french manicure bit! Hopefully no more masking tape for you!! I also do 20 nails at a time which takes longer!
