White Lace Nail Polish Tutorial

Kay found a cool photo of lacquered black lace nails. We decided to experiment with white lace, which we were both pleasantly surprised.

First we cut the lace out into roughly the size of the nail using fabric scissors. We found it was safer to cut the lace a little smaller than the nail- saves you having to trim it down afterwards.

Next, we used OPI clear top coat as a base coat. Whilst the nailpolish is still tacky, we apply the lace on top of the nail. We finished with another coat of clear nailpolish to seal the lace into place.
After it dried, we used mini scissors (from those manicure sets) to trim off any fray ends.

White lace nailpolish!
