Natural sandstone fingernail file with Swarovski crystals, seashells and other decor.
About Julie, the designer of Desert Style Stone ~
Desert Style Stone was founded this year in 2020. It has been a vision of mine for about 4 years now while trucking over the road. With not having any time to act on this new business idea the time finally arrived. Here you will find a new style of nail files.
The work began on this new business adventure in March of this year 2020. Coming from the great state of Arizona these nail files are made from natural sandstone.
They are all handcrafted. Each one is unique and different from the cut of the stone to the paint and decor. I do my best to keep them a little different from each other.
My goal is to take custom orders and eventually hire help. A portion of your purchase will go towards helping the homeless. Finding a way to help the less fortunate has always been on my heart since childhood.
Give the Perfect Gift & Upgrade Their Everyday!
Treat yourself and others to something special that you use all the time!

FUTURISTIC REFLECTIONS Trend
THE ADVENT OF VISIONARY CULTURE Modern Fashion Jewelry – Design Inspiration
The rise of global culture, the emergence of the global citizen, and a strong anti-appropriation ethic sees creative formats and completely new contexts being achieved in design. In an effort to make sense of our current polarizing circumstances, tales from the past are married with modern formats, blended together to construct a new reality.
ARTIFICIAL BRIGHTS STREAMED DIRECT FROM DIGITAL FILTERS ARE GROUNDED WITH PRIMARY EARTH HUES AND EXAGGERATED CRYSTAL CUTS AND FORMS TO PREPARE FOR A MIXED-REALITY FUTURE.
IT IS TIME TO TRANSFORM OURSELVES. ELEMENTS OF A PRIMITIVE PAST COMBINE WITH OTHERWORLDLY EFFECTS TO CREATE A NEW REALITY. BORROWING FROM BOTH THE DIGITAL AND THE DOWN-TO-EARTH, DESIGN WIDENS ITS FOCUS TO CELEBRATE CULTURAL HERITAGE, SPACE-AGE FORMATS AND EXOTIC ANCIENT TALES. THE SKY IS THE LIMIT IN THIS MASH-UP OF DIRECTIONS, WHERE THE ESCAPISM AND SELF-EXPRESSION OFFERED BY THE CYBER AGE IS BROUGHT BACK TO BASICS WITH THE BEAUTY OF THE ARCHAIC, CREATING DESIGNS INFUSED WITH INDIGENOUS WISDOM AND THE OPTIMISM OF A NEW GENERATION.

THE ART OF TIMELESS SIMPLICITY Fine Jewelry Imitation/ Modern Fashion Jewelry – Design Inspiration
The art of reducing and simplifying, recycling and upcycling with deeper feeling and commitment has become standard for many collections.

Learn how easy and fun it is to embellish your crocheted swimsuits and/or bikini’s using Swarovski Crystal Flatback Rhinestones. Enhance your bathing suits by adding Swarovski Crystals to them to instantly upgrade your beach style!
This is a perfect summer or Birthday party DIY project for yourself, your friends, your kiddos and/or grand-kids. Create your own personalized swimsuit sprinkled with sparkles, and watch as they shimmer in the sunshine and dance along with you as you enjoy all that summer has to offer!
Instructions on Applying the Swarovski Crystals to your Bikini
STEP 1: Place Swarovski Flat Backs Hotfix style 2078 onto the bikini. Place a transfer film on top of the Swarovski Crystals and iron the transfer film to adhere the crystals onto the bikini. Gently pull the transfer film back. If any of the crystals do not stick, replace transfer film and iron once more.
If you are applying Swarovski Crystals to bathing suits that are not breathable, then it is best to use the Non Hot Fix Flatback Rhinestones and use the E6000 glue. The Crystal Katana is a fabulous tool that will pick up the Crystal Rhinestones and place them exactly where you want them. It’s a dream tool and will make your life and Flatback projects soooooo much easier!
Hope you have fun enhancing your bathing suits this summer!
Now it’s time to lose the phone, hit the beach, and chill!!

When dreams come true, it’s fun to celebrate with sparkles & smiles!
Recently my friend graduated culinary school and she now has the wonderful opportunity to take her skills to the gorgeous wonders of Spain! She’ll be living there for a few months, training under a 5 star chef. With incredible hard work and determination, her dreams are really and truly, coming to fruition. I couldn’t be happier for her!
She threw a fabulous tapas themed fiesta to celebrate and I wanted to give her something fun, special and sparkly (of course) to commemorate her BIG accomplishment! Here’s what I made her….
A customized sparkling apron featuring Swarovski Crystal Rhinestone Flatbacks!
I found a colorful apron from World Market. I just swoon over everything in that darn store, so I had to go in with a mission and not stray, because if I did, I would have been tempted to take home one of everything. Mission successfully completed!
I imagine aprons can take a beating with all that is going on in the kitchen and I wanted to be sure the Swarovski Crystal Flatbacks would stay secure and last a very long time. In order to do this, I glued each crystal using E6000 glue.
I also used my handy-dandy Flatback Rhinestone tool, the Crystal Katana! This helps to pick up the stones, place them exactly where I want them and secure them in place. I couldn’t do this project with out it! That’s GOLD Jerry… GOLD! (haha…if you’re a long-time Seinfeld fan like myself, you’ll appreciate that reference 😉
I arranged the Swarovski Crystals in little flower formations, with different quantities in each floret, randomly on the belt of the apron. I wanted to compliment the flower pattern on the apron, as well as accentuating hints of sparkle.
It’s simple and sweet, and complimented her style beautifully!
Thankfully, she Loved it! She put it on and wore it around, showing all her friends, which warmed my heart & was very sweet of her!
If you’re thinking of a little gift for someone in your life, keep in mind that it doesn’t need to be much, but it’s always much more appreciated when you add a personal touch. When you put a little extra time and effort into making something handmade from your heart, it demonstrates how much you care, which is touching in and of itself.

Free DIY Design on Embellishing Your Winter Hat with Swarovski Crystals
For those of you enjoy winter outdoor adventures, this cozy Après Ski hat DIY design inspiration is chic as well as warm. Simply glue or sew Swarovski Crystal Pearls and Flat Back Hotfix Rhinestones around the turn-up, and you’ll sparkle on the slopes!
It doesn’t matter whether you ski (or snowboard) like an Olympian, flop around like a snow bunny, or stick strictly to “meet me by the fire” for fun social encounters, you’ll still need to defrost with cozy knits that are chic and practical.
Winter pom-pom hats are very popular these days to keep your head warm and cozy. It’s a whole lot more fun to wear things that have your own personalized style infused in them. Put your fashion stamp on your winter hat by sprinkling it with Swarovski Crystals to stand out from the crowd.
This DIY fashion design is easy as pie to make…easier than making pie, really. Swarovski makes Flatback Crystals that have glue that has been pre-applied to the back for easy application. These Flatback Crystals are called Hot Fix Stones. Simply create a design by placing the Hot Fix Crystals where you want them and apply your heated Bejeweler Pro Hot Fix Tool directly on top of the stones for a minute. Simple as that!
2 Handy Application Tips:
1. Don’t Get Stuck Doing This – Place a piece of cardboard underneath the the portion of the fabric where the Crystals will be glued to. This way you don’t glue both sides of the hat together 🙂
2. Don’t Ruin Your Fabric – The Bejewler Pro Hot Fix Tool has different interchangeable size tips for the various size Flatbacks. Use a one size smaller tip than the Flatback Stone itself, this way you won’t burn the edges of your fabric. (you probably won’t burn the fabric, but I always like to let people know about this encase they are using the Bejewler Pro Hot Fix tool on nice or sensitive fabric such as a wedding dress).
