Flatback Half Pearls | 6mm Round | White AB | 25g Pack - Nail Art & Card

The 6mm round is the finest pearl in this range and the one that suits nail art, tiny outlines and dense fill work. Each dome is a small white pearl under an AB coating, so a cluster of them shifts through a soft rainbow as the hand or the card moves. Because the pack is sold by weight, the smallest size gives you by far the most pieces. Supplied in a 25 g pack.

Specifications

Ideal For

• Nail artists placing fine pearl accents
• Card makers working on delicate borders
• Miniature and dollhouse detailing
• Dense fill work in mandala and Lippan patterns
• Anyone who needs a high piece count from one pack

Perfect for

• Set a pearl line along a French tip or a cuticle curve
• Pave a tight cluster into a nail focal point
• Outline a small motif on a card or a tag
• Add pearl detail to miniature furniture and decor
• Fill fine gaps between larger stones in festive work

Compatibility

Works with: nail glue and gel, craft glue, clear jewellery adhesive, card, MDF and resin surfaces.

Pairs well with: micro pearl beads, for a graded scatter that fades from 6mm down to caviar size.

Not suitable for: stringing or threading, since there is no hole; and large surface coverage, where a bigger dome does the job with far less work.

Before You Buy

• The pack is sold by weight. Because these are the smallest size, a 25 g pack holds the highest piece count in the range.
• These are glue-on and have no adhesive backing.
• At 6mm they are fiddly to place by hand. A wax pick-up tool makes the work much faster.
• The AB shimmer is subtler at this size than on the larger domes.

How to Use

1. Pick each pearl up with a wax pick-up pencil or damp tweezers, since fingers are too clumsy at this size.
2. Apply a small dot of glue to the surface rather than to the pearl.
3. Set the dome down straight and press very lightly.
4. Work in short runs so the glue stays wet enough to adjust.
5. For nails, cure or dry fully before applying a top coat.

Frequently Asked Questions

How small are these?
Each dome is 6 mm across. They come in a 25 g pack, sold by weight, so the piece count is not fixed, but this size gives the most pieces per pack.

How is this different from micro pearl beads?
Micro pearls are around 0.8mm and behave like a powder or a filler. At 6mm these are individual pearls you place one at a time.

Can I use these on nails?
Yes. This is the size most suited to nail art in this range. Fix with nail glue or set into gel and cure, then top coat.

Are they self-adhesive?
No. The back is flat and plain, so a separate glue is needed.
