This blog is a great archive system! We featured this tutorial last year but I just remembered this white lace nailpolish tut. I reckon this would be great for my bridesmaids!!! how fun would this be? This would totally suit their dresses...or at least rocknroll-afy it a lil.
I'm excited!
Kay found a cool photo of lacquered black lace nails. We decided to experiment with white lace, which we were both pleasantly surprised.
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.
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.

White lace nailpolish!
Update: It does get a little fuzzy by the third day so I'll probably have to do them a day before the wedding.
