Lace Manicure

Hey everyone! How's it going? I'm on a lace frenzy...and I cant stop. So I've been seeing alot of this lace look all over the internet, whether it be stamped or freehanded, and I decided I wanted to do it as well. I thought I would freehand it today and maybe do a stamped lace detail tomorrow or the day after. The other day, I saw that Manon had done a stamped lace design on Color Club's Incognito and I thought it was breathtaking. So I used that as my base color and then did lace detailing on the top with a regular black nail polish and detail brush. Here's how it came out..

Lace Manicure

Isn't Incognito to die for? It's this beige pink putty like color that looks very earthy and natural. Its a flattering color and a great alternative to just a flat beige. The lace detailing on the top was easy to do but as you can see it didn't come out perfect. But thats why I'm practicing in the first place, right? Surprisingly, it doesn't take long to do and it could be a great manicure for a party. Also, you dont need to do the detail in black...it can be in almost any color. I chose black because I like the contrast between it and the light base underneath...it almost looks like theres a viel on your fingertips. Tres chic, no? Have a great one!

Lace French Mani

Hello lovelies! Today I have another...Lace Mani! Why am I posting so many lace manicures, you ask? Well, because I'm not very good at doing them and I've been trying out different looks to practice on. So your coming along with me on this "learning experience". I love lace manicure because they are so elegant and the epitomy of feminine! We need to celebrate being women, and show off our beautiful features! My sis told me this one looked like snow and I believe it does too, but that wasn't my aim. So here it is

Lace French Mani

So it's a really flirty and girly manicure. I used Flormar Nail Enamel in 119 as a base (it needed 4 coats). Then I used Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in White On for my french and lace design. And finally I sealed it all in with Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Disco Ball. The end! Have a great day.

Cheetah and Lace Nails

Hey everyone! How are you doing today? I was super excited about my polka dot and flower mani yesterday that I did with only a pin...I felt look doing another look with only a sewing and bobby pin. And I really love how this came out. It kinda makes me wish I entered this into the contest but oh well. On another note, I just finished reading Modelland and I gotta say that it really blew me away. I loved it and adored every page of it. I cant wait until the second book comes out...ugh! I really recommend this book, its a great read. Back to nails...

Cheetah and Lace Nails

It reminds me of lingerie! I love it! I used L.A. Girl Nail Lacquer in Grain for the base (it needed like 4 coats) and then I used Seventeen SuperShine 529 to make the slanted base for the cheetah print. I used Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Black out (as always) to do the cheetah print and the lace detail. No topcoat. Gold, cheetah, and lace! Im in heaven. For those of you who dont know...I am a gold LOVER! It's my favorite thing in the whole world...along with puppy dogs of course. Well, have a great days you guys!

Wedding Lace Nails

Good morning to you all! No, these are not my wedding nails...just an idea! I really like doing my nails in super soft and elegant designs. It feels so womanly! Unfortunately I'm not so great at free-handing those designs. I've been seeing alot of people doing lace designs on their french tips and I love it. So today I tried it and for my first time it could have been worse lol!

Lace Nail Design

For this look I used Jordana in Touch of Pink which is the most gorgeous pink with a tint of blue. Very cool! And I used Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in White On to do the tips and lace design. I did the lace look with a toothpick. And then I used La Colors Art Deco Nail Art Lacquer in Silver Glitter to line the lace from the bottom. And thats how I did, I'm going to do a Konad Lace design soon...so that'll be fun too.
Take it easy and have a great day!
