AI pick (line): Preciosa MAXIMA

Czech precision-cut glass flat-backs with foiled backs that give the strongest sparkle at nail sizes without plastic dullness.

Not for: Beginners practising placement or anyone covering whole nails in stones, where budget glass or resin is more sensible.

Glass vs acrylic or resin: Prefer glass crystal for visible sparkle Acrylic and resin stones look flat and scratch quickly.
Non-hotfix: Buy non-hotfix flat-backs for nails Hotfix stones carry a heat-activated glue meant for fabric that does not bond well to nails.
Stone size (SS scale): Roughly SS3 to SS10 for most nail accents, larger only as centrepieces Oversized stones snag and pop off.
Flat-back vs pointed-back: Pointed-back stones must be embedded in thick gel They cannot sit on a flat surface with glue alone.
Foil backing: Look for a foiled back The foil reflects light back through the stone; unfoiled glass looks dull on colour.

Preciosa: Czech crystal maker; MAXIMA is its premium flat-back line.
Swarovski: Long the reference for flat-back crystals; genuine loose stones are widely counterfeited.
