Lace Manicure
16th March, 2011 - Posted by Emily - 2 Comments
I recently did a manicure with REAL lace. These were really big on the runway last season and I never had the chance to try them until now. My grandmother had this gorgeous piece of lace I could use, really delicate and absolutely gorgeous, pictured above.
And here’s how it turned out! I used China Glaze Sunset Sail as a base, then used nail glue to attach the lace to my nails and several coats of Seche Vite. I wore it for a day but then I felt it lacked something, the lace was very shiny and of course actual lace isn’t shiny at all so I put a matte topcoat over it and that really brought the design to life!
It’s a fun manicure to do, though I think it would be a lot easier if you had a friend to help with this. It’s not the easiest thing to apply to your nails. I did find it was a bit uncomfortable to wear so this is probably more suitable for a night out or a special occasion. I removed it after two days because I couldn’t stand it anymore! Oh well, we girls don’t mind a bit of suffering to look good, right!

Ziet er super leuk uit
Ben echt fan, maar begrijpenlijk dat het na een tijdje oncomfortabel wordt!

Hihi dankjewel! Ja ik vond het zelf ook echt supermooi maar het is toch niet iets dat je een hele week zou kunnen dragen, alé ik toch niet, zoals ik schreef eerder iets voor een speciale gelegenheid. Leuk om eens te proberen, dat alleszins wel!
