What Are Nail Charms?
Nail charms are miniature decorative pieces designed to be applied to the surface of your nails. Often made from lightweight materials like resin, acrylic, metal, or rhinestones, they come in a huge variety of styles including:
- Gems and rhinestones
- Pearls and studs
- Miniature figures or icons (bows, hearts, butterflies)
- Chains, crosses, skulls, or gothic elements
- Seasonal charms like snowflakes or flowers
- Kawaii characters and cute designs
- Luxury gold or silver metallic shapes
They’re typically applied using nail glue, gel polish, or builder gel—sealing them in place for both durability and style.
