Glass Flatback Teardrop – Crystal AB, 6×3 mm

The clear glass base is enhanced with an Aurora Borealis coating that reflects changing flashes of blue, turquoise, pink, purple, green, gold and silver. As the light moves across the faceted surface, the crystal reveals a bright rainbow-like shimmer that gives every nail design a luxurious jewellery-inspired finish.

These Crystal AB teardrop flatbacks are ideal for bridal manicures, mermaid nail art, crystal flowers, elegant clusters, winter designs, festival looks and dimensional statement accents.

The 6×3mm size creates a compact yet visible crystal accent. Its fuller proportions make it especially suitable for floral petals, water-drop effects, leaf-shaped arrangements, butterfly wings and crystal clusters.

The Crystal AB coating transforms the clear glass base into a bright, colour-shifting element. Depending on the viewing angle and surrounding colours, the facets can reflect pastel pink, aqua, turquoise, blue, purple, green, yellow-gold, silver and subtle rainbow tones.

The special beauty of Crystal AB teardrops

The main attraction of these flatbacks is their softly rounded teardrop shape combined with a luminous Crystal AB finish. The wide rounded end adds fullness and dimension, while the tapered point creates a graceful, directional effect.

Compared with a longer, slimmer raindrop shape, this 6×3 mm teardrop looks more compact and slightly plumper. This makes it particularly useful for detailed compositions where you want a visible petal or water-drop effect without covering too much of the nail surface.

The Aurora Borealis coating enhances the facets with shifting rainbow reflections. This allows the teardrops to coordinate with many nail colours and makes them especially effective under direct light, flash photography and evening lighting.

Suitable nail styles

Glass Flatback Teardrop – Crystal AB, 6×3mm works beautifully on short, medium and long nails. Its compact shape is suitable for almond, oval, square, coffin, ballerina and stiletto nail shapes.

It is perfect for bridal manicures, romantic nail art, mermaid designs, crystal flowers, winter manicures, pastel designs, festival looks, jewellery-inspired clusters and elegant accent nails.

The stones can be used individually as small reflective details or arranged in groups around round rhinestones, pearls, flowers, nail charms and larger crystals.

Colour combinations

Crystal AB teardrops look especially beautiful on white, milky white, nude, blush pink, pale blue, baby blue, lavender, aqua, turquoise, silver, champagne and transparent jelly nail bases.

On white or milky nails, the crystals create a clean, fresh and luminous effect. On nude or blush-pink bases, they create a delicate bridal or romantic appearance. On aqua, turquoise or blue bases, the colour shifts enhance mermaid, water and ocean-inspired nail art.

The crystals pair beautifully with Crystal, Crystal AB, Aquamarine, Light Sapphire, White Opal, blue opal stones, white pearls, silver foil, silver chrome, iridescent flakes, holographic glitter and mermaid powder.

The special beauty of the fuller teardrop shape

The 6×3mm teardrop has a rounded, slightly fuller body that adds a soft dimensional effect to nail art. Its shape can resemble a small droplet, petal, leaf, wing or miniature crystal flame, depending on the placement.

Arrange several teardrops around a round stone to make a crystal flower. Place them in mirrored pairs to create a bow, butterfly-wing or leaf effect. Use them in a curved line to form a water-drop trail or sparkling crystal cascade.

The short, wide shape is ideal for detailed designs because it creates a visible 3D effect while remaining compact enough for accent nails and precise placements.

How to apply and remove

• Prepare the nail and complete the base colour or nail art. Choose a relatively flat placement area and decide which direction you want the pointed end of the teardrop to face.
• Apply a small amount of rhinestone gel, Glue Gel, builder gel, nail glue or another strong nail-art adhesive. Pick up the Crystal AB teardrop with tweezers, a wax pencil or a rhinestone picker, then place it carefully onto the adhesive.
• For floral nail art, arrange several teardrops with their pointed ends facing inward or outward around a round rhinestone, pearl or nail charm. For a lengthening effect, position the stone vertically with the pointed end directed toward the cuticle or free edge.
• Cure under a UV/LED lamp according to the adhesive manufacturer’s instructions when using gel-based products. For extra durability, secure the base and outer edges with a small amount of clear gel or Glue Gel.
• Avoid covering the faceted surface completely, as this can reduce the Crystal AB sparkle and colour-changing reflections. To remove, carefully file or soften the adhesive before lifting the stone gently. Do not pull it forcefully from the natural nail.

Styling ideas

• Create a crystal flower by arranging five or six 6×3mm Crystal AB teardrops around a round Crystal, pearl or opal centre.
• Place two mirrored teardrops beside a pearl to create a delicate bow or butterfly-wing-inspired design.
• Use the stones with blue opal flowers, clear rhinestones and white pearls for a luminous bridal manicure.
• Create an ocean-inspired design by combining the teardrops with aqua crystals, shells, starfish and iridescent flakes.
• Place the crystals in a curved line from the cuticle toward the sidewall to create a sparkling water-drop cascade.
• Pair them with silver chrome, snowflakes and pale-blue polish for a frosty winter manicure.
• Combine several sizes of Crystal AB stones with these teardrops for a glamorous jewellery-inspired crystal cluster.
